The aim of this study was to translate and analyze the psychometric properties of the third version of the Arabic Diabetes Attitude Scale.
A methodological study of psychometric validation of the scale according to the guidelines of Vallerand cross-cultural validation was conducted. Type 1 and type 2 diabetics, aged 18 and over, without cognitive impairment or altered mental status were recruited on a convenience-sampling basis. An Arabic-language self-administrated developed questionnaire including diabetics' demographic and clinical data and the experimental third version of the Diabetes Attitude Scale was used. All Vallerand cross-cultural validation steps were completed except for convergent validity and confirmatory analysis.
A sample of 333 diabetics was recruited. Reliability and validity of the experimental version of the scale were satisfactory. Correlations between test and retest dimensions were close to 1, and overall Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the experimental version was 0.769. The content validity index was 0.82 proving the accuracy of the concept measurements by the scale. Principal components analysis, by orthogonal Varimax rotation, produced nine factors. Correlation coefficients between the five dimensions of the theoretical model of the scale ranged from 0.002 to 0.367, confirming that each dimension measured a single content.
The third version of the Arabic Diabetes Attitude Scale has been proven valid and reliable. It is ready for use in clinical practice.
本研究旨在翻译并分析阿拉伯语版糖尿病态度量表第三版的心理测量特性。
根据瓦勒兰德跨文化验证指南对该量表进行心理测量验证的方法学研究。采用便利抽样法招募年龄在18岁及以上、无认知障碍或精神状态改变的1型和2型糖尿病患者。使用一份包括糖尿病患者人口统计学和临床数据以及实验性第三版糖尿病态度量表的阿拉伯语自填式问卷。除了收敛效度和验证性分析外，所有瓦勒兰德跨文化验证步骤均已完成。
招募了333名糖尿病患者作为样本。该量表实验版本的信度和效度令人满意。重测维度之间的相关性接近1，实验版本的总体克朗巴哈α系数为0.769。内容效度指数为0.82，证明该量表对概念测量的准确性。通过正交方差最大化旋转进行主成分分析，产生了九个因素。该量表理论模型的五个维度之间的相关系数在0.002至0.367之间，证实每个维度测量的是单一内容。
阿拉伯语版糖尿病态度量表第三版已被证明有效且可靠。它已准备好用于临床实践。
