Abstract

The Diabetes Care Profile (DCP) was designed to measure psychosocial factors related to diabetes and its treatment. This study sought to determine the reliability and validity of the DCP in Hispanic veterans with Type 2 diabetes. Hispanic (n=81) and non-Hispanic White (n=238) patients were recruited at three southwestern VA hospitals. Scale reliabilities calculated by Cronbach's coefficient alpha revealed reliabilities ranging from .54 to .97 in Hispanics and .63 to .95 in non-Hispanic Whites. Only one scale, Monitoring Barriers, differed significantly between the two patient groups. Mean values on the DCP scales were consistent within and across ethnicities lending support for construct validity of the DCP in Hispanics. Convergent validity was also supported for DCP scales within the Hispanic patients as evidenced by correlations in expected directions with external measures.

摘要

糖尿病护理概况（DCP）旨在衡量与糖尿病及其治疗相关的社会心理因素。本研究旨在确定DCP在患有2型糖尿病的西班牙裔退伍军人中的可靠性和有效性。在西南地区的三家退伍军人管理局医院招募了西班牙裔患者（n = 81）和非西班牙裔白人患者（n = 238）。通过克朗巴赫系数α计算的量表信度显示，西班牙裔患者的信度范围为0.54至0.97，非西班牙裔白人患者的信度范围为0.63至0.95。两组患者之间只有一个量表，即监测障碍量表，存在显著差异。DCP量表的平均值在不同种族内部和之间是一致的，这为DCP在西班牙裔患者中的结构效度提供了支持。西班牙裔患者中DCP量表的收敛效度也得到了支持，这从与外部测量指标的预期方向相关性中得到了证明。
