20.500.12556/RUL-165174 Psychometric properties of the Slovenian versions of the diabetes empowerment scale, long and short form, among the Slovenian adults with type 2 diabetes Aims: To determine the psychometric properties of the Slovenian versions of the Diabetes Empowerment Scale (DES), both the long form (S-DES-LF) and the short form (S-DES-SF). Methods: Between April and September 2023, we recruited adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) using convenient sampling in five primary health centres. We examined internal consistency, test-retest reliability, criterion validity, and discriminant validity. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) evaluated the fit of the one-and three-factor models for S-DES-SF and S-DES-LF, respectively. Results: The results of 288 individuals, with a mean age of 67 ± 9.2 years, including 132 men and 156 women, showed excellent internal consistency and strong test-retest reliability for both the S-DES-LF (Cronbach's α=0.90; ICC=0.95) and S-DES-SF (α=0.91; ICC=0.92). Criterion validity of the S-DES-LF was confirmed through known-groups validity, with higher education (p=0.016) and absence of comorbid hypertension (p=0.034) associated with greater empowerment. Discriminant validity was demonstrated by the lack of significant correlations between the S-DES-LF and S-DES-SF scores with age or gender. CFA confirmed a good fit for the S-DES-SF's one-factor model but not for S-DES-LF three-factor model. Conclusions: S-DES-LF and S-DES-SF are valid and reliable tools for assessing diabetes empowerment in Slovenian people with T2D. Future research should further explore the convergent validity of scales. disease management empowerment primary care self-efficacy type 2 diabetes validation study obvladovanje bolezni opolnomočenje primarna oskrba samoučinkovitost diabetes tip 2 validacijska študija true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2024-11-26 09:26:14 2024-11-26 09:26:18 2024-11-28 08:39:36 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Str. 660–668 iss. 6 Vol. 18 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 616.379 1751-9918 10.1016/j.pcd.2024.10.002 212748803 RAZ_Virtic_Potocnik_Tina_2024.pdf RAZ_Virtic_Potocnik_Tina_2024.pdf 1 9ECCD423FF1D487C69387DC115A4AAF5 de3aaa99f367ef2fadca1c574aed44ef8d90dd8797bed11a713f6afe7fe09b3b 9716201b-abd1-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=196172 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1751991824002006 0 96d2cb08-abd0-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=196171 https://www.primary-care-diabetes.com/article/S1751-9918(24)00200-6/fulltext 1 b37fd915-abcf-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=196170 Medicinska fakulteta 0 0 0
