The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Diabetes Eating Problem Survey-Revised (DEPS-R) in a large sample of young patients with type 1 diabetes, to establish norms, and to validate it against the Eating Attitudes Test-12 (EAT-12).
A total of 770 children and adolescents aged 11-19 years with type 1 diabetes completed the DEPS-R and the EAT-12. In addition, age- and sex-standardized BMI and HbA1c data were obtained from the Norwegian Childhood Diabetes Registry. In addition to tests of validity, principal axis factoring was conducted to investigate the factor structure of the 16-item DEPS-R.
The DEPS-R demonstrated satisfactory Cronbach α (0.89) and was significantly correlated with the EAT-12 (0.65; P < 0.01), indicating convergent validity. The mean (SD) DEPS-R scores were 11.0 (10.7) for the total sample and 7.7 (7.4) and 14.2 (2.4) for males and females, respectively.
This study replicates and extends previous research demonstrating the psychometric properties of the abbreviated 16-item DEPS-R. Findings support the utility of this important screening tool to identify disturbed eating in young patients with type 1 diabetes.
本研究旨在检验修订版糖尿病饮食问题量表(DEPS-R)在大量年轻 1 型糖尿病患者中的心理测量特性,建立常模,并与饮食态度量表-12 项版(EAT-12)进行验证。
共有 770 名年龄在 11-19 岁的 1 型糖尿病儿童和青少年完成了 DEPS-R 和 EAT-12。此外,还从挪威儿童糖尿病登记处获得了年龄和性别标准化的 BMI 和 HbA1c 数据。除了有效性测试外,还进行了主成分因子分析,以研究 16 项 DEPS-R 的因子结构。
DEPS-R 显示出令人满意的 Cronbach α(0.89),与 EAT-12 显著相关(0.65;P < 0.01),表明具有收敛效度。总样本的平均(SD)DEPS-R 得分为 11.0(10.7),男性和女性的得分分别为 7.7(7.4)和 14.2(2.4)。
本研究复制并扩展了先前的研究,证明了缩短的 16 项 DEPS-R 的心理测量特性。研究结果支持该重要筛查工具用于识别 1 型糖尿病年轻患者饮食紊乱的有效性。
