The aim of this study was to develop and validate a new diabetes distress scale suitable for Chinese and Taiwanese culture.
This study collected the current diabetes distress measurement tools, re-organized current definitions about the domains of diabetes distress, and then developed a new tool. Three hundred and ninety-five participants from four hospitals in northern Taiwan were recruited by cluster randomized sampling for validity test.
We found the new diabetes distress scale had appropriate reliability and validity, including an acceptable model fit for the 12-item scale.
This new diabetes distress scale might be more directly related to emotional distress issues blood glucose control, improve the clinical conspicuity of diabetes distress, and even benefit the overall care of diabetic patients in Taiwan. Further studies about the validity and reliability of this new tool in a nationwide setting are needed.
本研究旨在开发和验证一种适用于中国和中国台湾文化的新的糖尿病困扰量表。
本研究收集了当前的糖尿病困扰测量工具，重新组织了当前关于糖尿病困扰领域的定义，然后开发了一种新的工具。通过聚类随机抽样，从中国台湾北部的四家医院招募了 395 名参与者进行有效性测试。
我们发现新的糖尿病困扰量表具有适当的信度和效度，包括对 12 项量表的可接受模型拟合。
这种新的糖尿病困扰量表可能与血糖控制的情绪困扰问题更直接相关，提高了糖尿病困扰的临床显著性，甚至有利于中国台湾地区糖尿病患者的整体护理。需要进一步在全国范围内研究这种新工具的有效性和可靠性。
