Development and acceptability of a culturally competent skills and knowledge assessment tool for patients with diabetes mellitus
Background
Patients newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and newly prescribed insulin need to learn essential self-care and management skills quickly. To optimize teaching, clinicians need to assess a patient’s basic understanding of DM and their skills. While DM patient assessments exist, this study reports the development of an assessment of patient DM management skills and knowledge, using feedback from DM clinicians, patients, and caregivers.
Research Design and Methods
A systematic search of Pubmed/Medline and Scopus (1980–2017) of DM knowledge assessments was performed. Twenty-four studies were identified. Content from the existing assessments was adapted to create a 12 item DM-Skills Knowledge Assessment (SKA) to assess a patient’s DM management skills and knowledge. To assess cultural humility, modified cognitive interviews were conducted in individual user sessions and semi-structured focus groups. Audio-transcripts of the interviews/focus groups were independently coded, and codes were grouped into key themes. Participant demographic characteristics were assessed.
Results
Five focus groups and eleven key informant interviews were conducted, including 10 DM clinicians, 12 patients/caregivers, and 15 laypersons. All 10 clinicians reported that the DM-SKA addresses the key domains of DM education deemed to be of highest importance during the transition from hospital to home and that their patients would be willing to complete the assessment. More than half of the patient/caregiver/layperson participants self-reported race/ethnicity other than non-Hispanic white and performed similarly to non-Hispanic white participants in understanding each item, willingness to complete the DM-SKA, and perception that family or community members would be willing to complete the DM-SKA. The DM-SKA has a baseline Flesch reading score of 81.3, indicating low complexity language.
Conclusion
DM clinicians agreed that the DM-SKA assesses all essential DM management skills. For patients/caregivers, it has acceptable literacy, cognitive validity, and culturally acceptable for racial/ethnic minority populations in the study, including elderly persons.
