To assess the psychometric properties of the Arabic version of the Diabetes Self-Efficacy Scale (A-DSES).
This study used a cross-sectional design.
This study recruited 154 Saudi adults with type 2 diabetes at two primary healthcare centres in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Its instruments were the Diabetes Self-Efficacy Scale and the Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire. The psychometric properties of the A-DSES were assessed for reliability, including internal consistency and validity using exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and criterion validity.
The item-total correlation coefficients were >0.30 for all items, ranging from 0.46 to 0.70. The Cronbach's alpha for internal consistency was 0.86. One factor was extracted from the exploratory factor analysis (self-efficacy for diabetes self-management), and the one-factor model showed an acceptable fit to the data in the confirmatory factor analysis. Diabetes self-efficacy levels were positively correlated with diabetes self-management skills (r = 0.40, p < 0.001), indicating criterion validity.
The results indicate that the A-DSES is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing self-efficacy related to diabetes self-management.
The A-DSES could be used in clinical practice and research to provide a reference for assessing self-efficacy levels in areas of diabetes self-management.

评估阿拉伯文版糖尿病自我效能量表（A-DSES）的心理测量学特性。
本研究采用横断面设计。
本研究在沙特阿拉伯利雅得的两家初级保健中心招募了 154 名患有 2 型糖尿病的沙特成年人。其工具是糖尿病自我效能量表和糖尿病自我管理问卷。使用探索性因子分析、验证性因子分析和效标效度评估 A-DSES 的可靠性，包括内部一致性和有效性。
所有项目的条目总分相关系数均>0.30，范围为 0.46 至 0.70。内部一致性的克朗巴赫α系数为 0.86。探索性因子分析提取出一个因子（糖尿病自我管理的自我效能），验证性因子分析中的单因子模型显示出与数据的良好拟合。糖尿病自我效能水平与糖尿病自我管理技能呈正相关（r=0.40，p<0.001），表明具有效标效度。
结果表明，A-DSES 是一种可靠且有效的工具，可用于评估与糖尿病自我管理相关的自我效能。
A-DSES 可用于临床实践和研究，为评估糖尿病自我管理领域的自我效能水平提供参考。
本研究的设计、实施、报告或传播计划没有涉及参与者。
