Low levels of adherence to self-monitoring of blood glucose continue to occur despite its importance in the self-management of diabetes. Currently developed scales measure barriers to all components of diabetes regimen adherence but include only a few items about blood glucose testing. The purpose of this study was to develop the Barriers to Self-Monitoring Blood Glucose Scale and examine its psychometric properties. Data were drawn from two large diabetes clinics affiliated with large metropolitan hospitals. The 80-item scale examined the circumstance, thoughts, and feelings associated with barriers to testing blood glucose. Results suggest that individuals who test less often are more likely to report a higher number of barriers. This scale provides a means for assessing multiple barriers to testing that can provide the basis for healthcare practitioners to design individualized interventions to increase adherence to testing.
尽管血糖自我监测在糖尿病自我管理中很重要，但仍有不少患者在这方面的依从性较低。目前已开发的量表测量了糖尿病治疗方案依从性所有组成部分的障碍，但关于血糖检测的项目却只有寥寥几个。本研究旨在开发血糖自我监测障碍量表，并检验其心理测量特性。数据来自两家隶属于大型都市医院的大型糖尿病诊所。这个包含80个条目的量表考察了与血糖检测障碍相关的情况、想法和感受。结果表明，检测频率较低的个体更有可能报告更多的障碍。该量表为评估检测的多种障碍提供了一种方法，可为医护人员设计个性化干预措施以提高检测依从性提供依据。
