To provide for Brazil, through the selection of items of the Brazilian version of the Diabetes Quality of Life Measure (DQOL-Brazil), a concise instrument.
This is a cross-sectional study in which the DQOL-Brazil was administered to 150 type 1 diabetic patients and 146 type 2 diabetic patients. The items of the instrument were selected according to the analysis of the principal components and Spearman's correlations with treatment satisfaction, glycated hemoglobin level, and Nottingham Health Profile.
From a total of 44 items, only 8 were selected to compose the summary instrument (DQOL-Brazil-8). The DQOL-Brazil-8 presented Spearman's correlation of 0.873 with the DQOL-Brazil and a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.702.
The Brazilian health professionals now have a brief tool for a fast application that preserves the best features of the full DQOL-Brazil.
通过筛选巴西版糖尿病生活质量量表(DQOL - Brazil)中的条目,为巴西提供一种简明的工具。
这是一项横断面研究,对150例1型糖尿病患者和146例2型糖尿病患者进行了巴西版糖尿病生活质量量表的测评。根据主成分分析以及与治疗满意度、糖化血红蛋白水平和诺丁汉健康量表的斯皮尔曼相关性,筛选该量表的条目。
从总共44个条目中,仅选出8个条目组成简明量表(DQOL - Brazil - 8)。DQOL - Brazil - 8与DQOL - Brazil的斯皮尔曼相关性为0.873,克朗巴赫α系数为0.702。
巴西的卫生专业人员现在有了一种简短的工具,可快速应用,同时保留了完整的巴西版糖尿病生活质量量表的最佳特性。
