Abstract

Purpose

The objective of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Diabetes Family Impact Scale (DFIS).

Methods and Design

The study was carried out methodologically with 121 parents who have 6–18 year-old children with type 1 diabetes (n = 121). The collected data were analyzed by conducting confirmatory factor analysis, t test, and Pearson's correlation analysis and by computing Cronbach's α and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs).

Results

The linguistic validity of the scale was ensured by undertaking translation and back-translation. Expert opinions were analyzed and all the content validity indices were found to be ≥0.80. The factor loadings of all the items ranged from 0.47 to 0.89, and the model fit indices were as follows: χ²/df = 1.21 and RMSEA = 0.04. Scores that were obtained across two temporally separated administrations were not significantly different (p > .05), and there was a strong correlation between the two sets of scores (ICC = 0.892; p < .001). The Cronbach's α of the scale was .881. The item-total correlation coefficients of the scale items ranged from .34 to .72.

Conclusions

Similar to the original assessment, the Turkish version of the DFIS consists of 14 items and 4 subscales. It is a valid and reliable measure that is suitable for use with Turkish samples. Researchers can use this scale to assess the effect of type 1 diabetes mellitus on the family of an affected child.

土耳其版糖尿病家庭影响量表的心理测量特性

目的本研究的目的是检查土耳其版糖尿病家庭影响量表(DFIS)的心理测量特性。方法与设计本研究采用方法学方法对121名6-18岁1型糖尿病儿童的父母(n = 121)进行研究。对收集的资料进行验证性因子分析、t检验、Pearson相关分析，并计算Cronbach′s α和类内相关系数(ICCs)。结果通过承接翻译和回译，保证了量表的语言效度。对专家意见进行分析，发现所有内容效度指标均≥0.80。各项目的因子负荷范围为0.47 ~ 0.89，模型拟合指数为χ²/df = 1.21, RMSEA = 0.04。在两个暂时分开的管理部门获得的分数没有显著差异(p > 0.05)，两组分数之间存在很强的相关性(ICC = 0.892;p < .001)。量表的Cronbach’s α为0.881。量表条目的项目-总量相关系数在0.34 ~ 0.72之间。与原版评估相似，土耳其版DFIS由14个项目和4个分量表组成。这是一种有效和可靠的测量方法，适用于土耳其样品。研究人员可以使用这个量表来评估1型糖尿病对患病儿童家庭的影响。

期刊介绍： Linking science and practice by publishing evidence-based information on pediatric nursing and answering the question, ''How might this information affect nursing practice?'' The Journal for Specialists in Pediatric Nursing (JSPN) is the international evidence-based practice journal for nurses who specialize in the care of children and families. JSPN bridges the gap between research and practice by publishing peer-reviewed reliable, clinically relevant, and readily applicable evidence. The journal integrates the best evidence with pediatric nurses'' passion for achieving the best outcomes. The journal values interdisciplinary perspectives and publishes a wide variety of peer-reviewed papers on clinically relevant topics.
