Background.
The Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) is a widely used self-report measure for diabetes self-management.
It is an interesting tool for practice and research.
Objectives.
To translate and culturally adapt the SDSCA to the Moroccan context and to assess psychometric properties of the adapted version among type 2 diabetic patients.
Methods.
The Moroccan version was obtained following forward and backward translations.
An expert panel issued a final version.
The adapted version was administered to patients aged 30 years and older who have type 2 diabetes.
Psychometric evaluation consisted of assessing validity through internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha, item-to-scale and interitem correlations) and exploratory factor analysis and reproducibility (test-retest reliability).
Results.
Seventy-five participants were included.
Cronbach’s alpha ranged from 0.20 (diet) to 0.99 (exercise).
Moderate to good interitem and item-to-scale correlations were found.
Factor analysis resulted in a Moroccan SDSCA version consisting of 8 items, organized in four subscales that explained 89.6% of the variance: diet, exercise, blood sugar testing, and foot-care.
Intraclass correlations ranged from 0.27 to 0.52 for subscales.
Conclusion.
This study provides preliminary evidence for suitability of use of the Moroccan SDSCA among type 2 diabetic patients in order to assess diabetes self-management.
