Many studies reported poorer quality of life (QoL) in youth with diabetes compared to healthy peers. One of the tools used is the Diabetes Quality of Life for Youth (DQoLY) questionnaire in English. A validated instrument in Malay is needed to assess the perception of QoL among youth with diabetes in Malaysia.
To translate the modified version, i.e., the DQoLY questionnaire,into Malay and determine its reliability and validity.
Translation and back-translation were used. An expert panel reviewed the translated version for conceptual and content equivalence. The final version was then administered to youths with type 1 diabetes mellitus from the universities and Ministry of Health hospitals between August 2006 and September 2007. Reliability was analysed using Cronbach's alpha, while validity was confirmed using concurrent validity (HbA1c and self-rated health score).
A total of 82 youths with type 1 diabetes (38 males) aged 10-18 years were enrolled from eight hospitals. The reliability of overall questionnaire was 0.917, and the reliabilities of the three domains ranged from 0.832 to 0.867. HbA1c was positively correlated with worry (p=0.03). The self-rated health score was found to have significant negative correlation with the "satisfaction" (p=0.013) and "impact" (p=0.007) domains.
The Malay translated version of DQoLY questionnaire was reliable and valid to be used among youths with type 2 diabetes in Malaysia.
许多研究报告称，与健康同龄人相比，患有糖尿病的青少年生活质量较差。所使用的工具之一是英文版的青少年糖尿病生活质量（DQoLY）问卷。需要一种经过验证的马来语工具来评估马来西亚糖尿病青少年的生活质量认知。
将修改后的版本，即DQoLY问卷翻译成马来语，并确定其信度和效度。
采用翻译和回译的方法。一个专家小组对翻译后的版本进行了概念和内容等效性审查。最终版本于2006年8月至2007年9月间发放给来自大学和卫生部医院的1型糖尿病青少年。使用Cronbach's alpha分析信度，同时使用同时效度（糖化血红蛋白和自评健康得分）来确认效度。
从八家医院招募了82名年龄在10 - 18岁之间的1型糖尿病青少年（38名男性）。问卷整体信度为0.917，三个维度的信度范围为0.832至0.867。糖化血红蛋白与担忧呈正相关（p = 0.03）。自评健康得分与“满意度”（p = 0.013）和“影响”（p = 0.007）维度呈显著负相关。
DQoLY问卷的马来语翻译版本在马来西亚2型糖尿病青少年中使用是可靠且有效的。
