Abstract

Background: Older patients with diabetes have behaviors and practices in foot care that differ from those of younger patients. There is a need for a tool to assess the foot care of patients with diabetes who are over the age of 65 years.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the long and short versions of the Foot Care Scale for Older Diabetics (FCS-OD) in Turkish society.

Methods: A total of 172 older patients with diabetes participated in the study. Language validity, content validity, construct validity, Cronbach's alpha coefficient value, item-scale correlations, parallel form reliability, and test-retest correlations were used to assess the Turkish version of FCS-OD. A patient identification form, FCS-OD, Diabetic Foot Care Self-Efficacy Scale, and Foot Self-Care Behavior Scale were used for data collection.

Results: Turkish versions of the FCS-OD, both short and long versions, were at acceptable levels regarding their content (content validity index: 0.964, 0.975) and construct (factor loadings > 0.4). Both versions of the scale showed a high level of internal consistency as demonstrated by Cronbach's alpha values (short version, 0.802; long version, 0.905) and item-scale correlations (> 0.3). Both versions of the scale were stable over time and compared to the parallel forms.

Conclusions: Both versions of the scale were found to be valid and reliable for Turkish society with regard to psychometric properties.

土耳其社会老年糖尿病患者足部护理量表的有效性和可靠性。

背景：老年糖尿病患者在足部护理方面的行为和做法与年轻患者不同。目的：本研究旨在评估土耳其社会中长期和短期老年糖尿病患者足部护理量表（FCS-OD）的有效性和可靠性：共有 172 名老年糖尿病患者参与了研究。研究采用语言效度、内容效度、结构效度、克朗巴赫α系数、项目量表相关性、平行形式信度和测试-再测相关性来评估土耳其版 FCS-OD。收集数据时使用了患者身份识别表、FCS-OD、糖尿病足护理自我效能量表和足部自我护理行为量表：土耳其版 FCS-OD 的长短两个版本在内容（内容效度指数：0.964、0.975）和结构（因子载荷大于 0.4）方面都达到了可接受的水平。两个版本的量表都显示出较高的内部一致性，这体现在 Cronbach's alpha 值（短版，0.802；长版，0.905）和项目量表相关性（> 0.3）上。两个版本的量表随着时间的推移以及与平行表格的比较都很稳定：两个版本的量表在心理测量学特性方面对土耳其社会都是有效和可靠的。
