OBJECTIVE: To review reliability, validity, and normative data from 7
different studies, involving a total of 1,988 people with diabetes, and
provide a revised version of the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities
(SDSCA) measure. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: The SDSCA measure is a brief
self-report questionnaire of diabetes self-management that includes items
assessing the following aspects of the diabetes regimen: general diet,
specific diet, exercise, blood-glucose testing, foot care, and smoking.
Normative data (means and SD), inter-item and test-retest reliability,
correlations between the SDSCA subscales and a range of criterion measures,
and sensitivity to change scores are presented for the 7 different studies
(5 randomized interventions and 2 observational studies). RESULTS:
Participants were typically older patients, having type 2 diabetes for a
number of years, with a slight preponderance of women. The average
inter-item correlations within scales were high (mean = 0.47), with the
exception of specific diet; test-retest correlations were moderate (mean =
0.40). Correlations with other measures of diet and exercise generally
supported the validity of the SDSCA subscales (mean = 0.23). CONCLUSIONS:
There are numerous benefits from standardization of measures across
studies. The SDSCA questionnaire is a brief yet reliable and valid
self-report measure of diabetes self-management that is useful both for
research and practice. The revised version and its scoring are presented,
and the inclusion of this measure in studies of diabetes self-management is
recommended when appropriate.
