Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to test the psychometric properties of instruments used to measure diabetes self-management (DSM) that were modified and translated into Chinese.

Method: A convenience sample of 30 people with type 2 diabetes in Beijing, China, completed a questionnaire consisting of six instruments that had been translated and modified for use with a Chinese population. The reliability and validity were examined.

Results: The Cronbach's alpha for the six instruments varied from .62 to .87. Factors analysis was performed, with variances explained by factors ranging from 61.6% to 97.9%.

Conclusions: The findings of the psychometric testing of the modified and translated instruments support the use of these tools to assess DSM and its influencing factors in Chinese people with type 2 diabetes.

中国大陆2型糖尿病患者糖尿病自我管理测量仪器的适应和测试

目的:本研究的目的是检验修改并翻译成中文的糖尿病自我管理(DSM)测量工具的心理测量特性。方法:在中国北京选取30名2型糖尿病患者作为方便样本，填写了一份由六种工具组成的问卷，这些工具经过翻译和修改，适用于中国人群。检验了信度和效度。结果:6种仪器的Cronbach’s alpha值在0.62 ~ 0.87之间变化。进行因子分析，方差解释范围为61.6% ~ 97.9%。结论:修改和翻译后的心理测试结果支持使用这些工具来评估中国2型糖尿病患者DSM及其影响因素。
