Patients with diabetes must have self-efficacy to perform necessary self-care tasks. Self-efficacy has been considered as one of the primary motivators on diabetes self-care; therefore, it is essential for health care professionals to assess the self-efficacy of patients with diabetes to provide optimal care. Despite older Korean immigrants having greater difficulty in diabetes management, research on self-efficacy for them is lacking. This study aims to examine the psychometric property of the General Self-Efficacy scale Korean version for older Korean immigrants with diabetes in the United States. In this cross-sectional, methodological study, data were collected using convenience sampling. Cronbach's alpha, exploratory factor analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis were employed to examine the psychometric properties. Cronbach's alpha for the entire GSE scale Korean version is 0.81. The initial Eigenvalues show two factors, coping and confidence; however, the confirmatory factor analysis showed reasonable goodness of fit to the data ((35) = 86.24, < 0.01), / ratio = 2.46, AGFI = 0.87, GFI = 0.91, IFI = 0.90, ECVI = 0.74, CFI = 0.89, and RMSEA = 0.093 in the one-factor model. The General Self-Efficacy scale Korean version demonstrated acceptable reliability and validity. It can be used to investigate self-efficacy and to devise culturally tailored diabetes interventions.
糖尿病患者必须具备执行必要自我护理任务的自我效能感。自我效能感被视为糖尿病自我护理的主要动机之一；因此，医疗保健专业人员评估糖尿病患者的自我效能感以提供最佳护理至关重要。尽管韩国老年移民在糖尿病管理方面困难更大，但针对他们的自我效能感研究却很缺乏。本研究旨在检验美国韩国老年移民糖尿病患者通用自我效能量表韩语版的心理测量特性。在这项横断面方法学研究中，采用便利抽样收集数据。采用克朗巴哈系数、探索性因素分析和验证性因素分析来检验心理测量特性。通用自我效能量表韩语版的克朗巴哈系数为0.81。初始特征值显示出应对和信心两个因素；然而，验证性因素分析表明该模型与数据拟合度良好（(35)=86.24，<0.01），/比率=2.46，AGFI=0.87，GFI=0.91，IFI=0.90，ECVI=0.74，CFI=0.89，单因素模型中的RMSEA=0.093。通用自我效能量表韩语版显示出可接受的信度和效度。它可用于调查自我效能感，并设计适合文化背景的糖尿病干预措施。
