We aimed to validate the Malay version of Diabetes Quality of Life (DQOL) questionnaire for Malaysian adult population with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM).
This is a cross-sectional study to validate Malay version of DQOL among the adult diabetic patients. DQOL questionnaire has 46 items consist of three domains, namely Satisfaction Domain, Impact Domain and Worry Domain. Both forward and backward translations from the English version of DQOL into Malay version were performed. After the face validity of the Malay version was established, it was then pilot-tested. Finally, the validity and reliability of the final Malay version of DQOL questionnaire were evaluated.
There were 290 patients participated in this study with a mean (SD) age of 53.1 (10.0) years. The Cronbach's alpha coefficients of the overall items and the main domains were between 0.846 and 0.941. The Pearson's correlation coefficients for the three domains were between 0.228 and 0.451. HbA1C was found to be positively correlated with Impact Domain ( = 0.006). The Worry Domain was associated with diabetic retinopathy ( = 0.014) and nephropathy ( = 0.033).
The Malay version of diabetes quality of life (DQOL) questionnaire was found to be a valid and reliable survey instrument to be used for Malaysian adult patients with diabetes mellitus.
我们旨在验证糖尿病生活质量(DQOL)问卷的马来语版本,以供马来西亚成年2型糖尿病(DM)患者使用。
这是一项横断面研究,旨在验证成年糖尿病患者中DQOL问卷的马来语版本。DQOL问卷有46个项目,由三个领域组成,即满意度领域、影响领域和担忧领域。我们对DQOL问卷的英文版本进行了正向和反向翻译,以得到马来语版本。在确定了马来语版本的表面效度后,对其进行了预测试。最后,评估了DQOL问卷最终马来语版本的效度和信度。
共有290名患者参与了本研究,平均(标准差)年龄为53.1(10.0)岁。总体项目和主要领域的克朗巴赫α系数在0.846至0.941之间。三个领域的皮尔逊相关系数在0.228至0.451之间。发现糖化血红蛋白与影响领域呈正相关(=0.006)。担忧领域与糖尿病视网膜病变(=0.014)和肾病(=0.033)相关。
糖尿病生活质量(DQOL)问卷的马来语版本被发现是一种有效且可靠的调查工具,可用于马来西亚成年糖尿病患者。
