Resilience in diabetes refers to the capacity overcome diabetes-related challenges to achieve favorable psychosocial and health outcomes. Despite the known benefits of resilience in adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), there tends to be more emphasis on risk factors in research and practice. This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Diabetes Strengths and Resilience Measure for Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes (DSTAR-Teen) in Turkey.
This descriptive, methodological study was conducted between October 2020 and May 2021. The Turkish DSTAR-Teen was administered to 120 adolescents with T1DM, and the data were evaluated using Cronbach’s alpha coefficients, factor analyses, test-retest correlation, and item-total score correlations.
The Turkish DSTAR-Teen has 12 items in two factors that explained 50.64% of the total variance. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed goodness-of-fit and comparative fit indices of 0.92 and 0.95, respectively. The total Cronbach’s alpha value of the scale was 0.85. Item-total score correlations ranged from 0.49 to 0.74 (p<0.001).
Our analyses showed that the Turkish DSTAR-Teen is a valid and reliable instrument in Turkish adolescents with T1DM. The Turkish DSTAR-Teen can be used to evaluate strengths and resilience associated with diabetes management in adolescents with T1DM in Turkey.
糖尿病韧性是指克服与糖尿病相关的挑战，实现良好的心理社会和健康结果的能力。尽管在 1 型糖尿病（T1DM）青少年中已经知道韧性的好处，但在研究和实践中往往更强调风险因素。本研究评估了土耳其青少年 1 型糖尿病韧性量表（DSTAR-Teen）的心理测量特性。
这是一项描述性的方法学研究，于 2020 年 10 月至 2021 年 5 月进行。土耳其 DSTAR-Teen 量表应用于 120 名 T1DM 青少年，使用 Cronbach’s alpha 系数、因子分析、重测信度相关和项目总分相关对数据进行评估。
土耳其 DSTAR-Teen 量表有 12 个项目，分为两个因子，解释了总方差的 50.64%。验证性因子分析显示，拟合优度和比较拟合指数分别为 0.92 和 0.95。该量表的总 Cronbach’s alpha 值为 0.85。项目总分相关系数范围为 0.49 至 0.74（p<0.001）。
我们的分析表明，土耳其 DSTAR-Teen 是一种在土耳其 T1DM 青少年中有效且可靠的工具。土耳其 DSTAR-Teen 可用于评估土耳其 T1DM 青少年与糖尿病管理相关的优势和韧性。
