This paper discusses methodological issues that arose during the development of a questionnaire to be used in a survey of people who have non-insulin dependent diabetes and people who do not have the disease. The results of a pre-test and a pilot test undertaken to establish the validity, reliability and stability of the questionnaire are described. The preliminary study indicated that respondents' metabolic control was less than optimal and that they associated the seriousness of diabetes with modes of treatment rather than with control of blood glucose levels. It was concluded from the results that a full scale study was warranted and that a survey using the finalized questionnaire would yield reliable data which could be used to improve diabetes-related education and health promotion.
本文讨论了在开发一份用于调查非胰岛素依赖型糖尿病患者和非糖尿病患者的问卷过程中出现的方法学问题。描述了为确定问卷的有效性、可靠性和稳定性而进行的预测试和试点测试的结果。初步研究表明，受访者的代谢控制并不理想，他们将糖尿病的严重程度与治疗方式而非血糖水平控制联系在一起。从结果得出的结论是，有必要进行全面研究，并且使用最终确定的问卷进行的调查将产生可靠的数据，这些数据可用于改善糖尿病相关教育和健康促进。
