To adapt the instrument "Partners of Adults with Type 1 Diabetes Distress Scale" (Partner-DDS) into Brazilian culture, and to evaluate the psychometric characteristics of the adapted version.
All the cultural adaptation steps of the measure's instruments were followed. The psychometric properties such as reliability (stability by test-retest; internal consistency), and convergent construct validity were performed.
Of all 72 partners, 69.4% were male, mean age: 42.69 ± 14.09 years, mean of marriage duration: 14.74 ± 12.41 years, and mean schooling: 11.81 ± 3.91 years.The internal consistency of the instrument (Cronbach Alpha) was 0.90. The intra-class coefficient (stability) was 0.80 (0.72-0.84). The Spearman coefficient (convergent construct validity) between the Partner-DDS scale and the Anxiety subscale of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS-A) was 0.4273 ( < 0.0002).
The steps of the instruments' cultural adaptation were appropriately performed. The Brazilian version of the Partner- DDS scale demonstrates reliable psychometric properties for being used in POPWT1D distress evaluation in Brazil.
The cultural adaptation of Partner-DDS scale into Brazilian Portuguese is a helpful innovation to assess the emotional burden in POPWT1D. This tool could be used to provide education and psychological support for this population.
将“1型糖尿病成人患者困扰量表的伴侣版”（Partner-DDS）调整以适应巴西文化，并评估改编版的心理测量特征。
遵循该测量工具的所有文化适应步骤。进行了诸如信度（重测稳定性；内部一致性）和收敛效度等心理测量特性的评估。
在所有72名伴侣中，69.4%为男性，平均年龄：42.69±14.09岁，平均婚姻持续时间：14.74±12.41年，平均受教育年限：11.81±3.91年。该工具的内部一致性（克朗巴哈系数）为0.90。组内系数（稳定性）为0.80（0.72 - 0.84）。Partner-DDS量表与医院焦虑抑郁量表（HADS）焦虑分量表之间的斯皮尔曼系数（收敛效度）为0.4273（<0.0002）。
该工具的文化适应步骤执行得当。巴西版的Partner-DDS量表在巴西用于1型糖尿病患者及其伴侣的困扰评估时显示出可靠的心理测量特性。
将Partner-DDS量表改编为巴西葡萄牙语是评估1型糖尿病患者及其伴侣情感负担的一项有益创新。该工具可用于为这一人群提供教育和心理支持。
