The Cronbach alpha coefficient of the PAID was 0.92 and the DDS was 0.92. Concurrent validity was demonstrated in a strong consistent relationship between the scores on the DDS and PAID-5, with a strong positive correlation, <i>r</i> = 0.70, n = 86, <i>p</i> < 0.001. There was a significant difference in the DDS scores between males (<i>M</i> = 1.26, SD = 0.37) and females (<i>M</i> = 1.50, SD = 0.73), <i>t</i>(73.31) = -1.99, p = 0.05 two tailed.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The DDS is shown to be a valid and reliable measure within this Caribbean context. Thus, researchers and clinicians desirous of a tool to assess Diabetes Distress may be assured of the strong psychometric properties demonstrated thus far.</p>","PeriodicalId":45958,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Health Research","volume":"12 3","pages":"22799036231187006"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/06/95/10.1177_22799036231187006.PMC10399254.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10301570","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
