Diabetic foot self-care refers to a group of self-management behaviors that can reduce the incidence of foot ulcers and amputations. It is necessary to have a valid and reliable standard tool to measure foot self-care in diabetic patients. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Diabetic Foot Self-Care Questionnaire of the University of Malaga, Spain (DFSQ-UMA) in Iran.
This cross-sectional study was conducted with 407 diabetic patients who were selected using a convenient sampling method. Construct validity was assessed by exploratory (with 207 patients) and confirmatory (with 200 patients) factor analyses. Internal consistency was calculated using Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega coefficients.
In the exploratory factor analysis, three factors with eigenvalues of 3.84, 2.41, and 2.26 were extracted that together explained 56.74% of the total variance of diabetic foot self-care. A Cronbach's alpha of 0.865 was found for the total instrument.
The Persian version of the DFSQ-UMA has good validity and reliability, and given its good psychometric properties, it can be used in future studies.
糖尿病足自我护理是指一组可降低足部溃疡和截肢发生率的自我管理行为。拥有一个有效且可靠的标准工具来衡量糖尿病患者的足部自我护理非常必要。本研究旨在评估西班牙马拉加大学糖尿病足自我护理问卷(DFSQ-UMA)波斯语版本在伊朗的心理测量特性。
本横断面研究对407例糖尿病患者进行,采用方便抽样法选取。通过探索性因素分析(207例患者)和验证性因素分析(200例患者)评估结构效度。使用Cronbach's alpha系数和McDonald's omega系数计算内部一致性。
在探索性因素分析中,提取了特征值分别为3.84、2.41和2.26的三个因素,它们共同解释了糖尿病足自我护理总方差的56.74%。整个量表的Cronbach's alpha系数为0.865。
DFSQ-UMA波斯语版本具有良好的效度和信度,鉴于其良好的心理测量特性,可用于未来的研究。
