The present research evaluated the psychometric properties of a brief self-report instrument designed to assess appraisal of diabetes. Two hundred male subjects completed the Appraisal of Diabetes Scale (ADS) and provided blood samples that were subsequently assayed to provide an index of glycemic control (i.e., glycosylated hemoglobin). Subjects also completed either (a) additional measures of diabetes-related health beliefs, diabetic daily hassles, perceived stress, diabetic adherence, and psychiatric symptoms or (b) the ADS on two additional occasions. Results indicated that the ADS is an internally consistent and stable measure of diabetes-related appraisal. The validity of the measure was supported by correlational analyses which documented the relationship between the ADS and several related self-report measures.
本研究评估了一种旨在评估糖尿病认知的简短自陈式工具的心理测量特性。两百名男性受试者完成了糖尿病认知量表（ADS），并提供了血样，随后对血样进行检测以提供血糖控制指标（即糖化血红蛋白）。受试者还完成了以下两项任务之一：（a）对与糖尿病相关的健康信念、糖尿病日常困扰、感知压力、糖尿病依从性和精神症状的额外测量；或（b）在另外两个时间点再次完成ADS。结果表明，ADS是一种关于糖尿病相关认知的内部一致且稳定的测量工具。相关性分析支持了该测量工具的有效性，该分析记录了ADS与其他几种相关自陈式测量工具之间的关系。
