Self-efficacy scale for Brazilians with type 1 diabetes

Abstract: CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Diabetes is a public health problem and good glycemic control is able to prevent or contain its complications. Self-efficacy is a key factor in successfully achieving behavior goals. The aim of this study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the insulin management diabetes self-efficacy scale (IMDSES) on type 1 diabetes patients from southern Brazil. DESIGN AND SETTING: Validation study in two cities in southern Brazil. METHODS: The psychometric properties of IMDSES were evaluat… Show more

“…This is because users tend to agree or disagree with a given question without, however, being able to quantify the intensity of such agreement or disagreement. This confirms observations in previous studies and it suggests the need to adapt the scale to three options 10 - 12 , 21 . However, the number of categories of the scale in this study was kept to five so that the results of the DES-SF application were comparable to studies in other countries 2 , 3 .…”

“…However, most of the studies lacked a methodological basis for determining sample size. Sample size was calculated in only five of the 26 studies (19,38,(41)(42)(43), which may have modified the psychometric data and constitutes an increased risk of bias. Also, during the data extraction phase, there were some difficulties in extracting certain information due to lack of clarity in the descriptions of the methodological processes.…”

“…This alteration of data gathering technique has been performed elsewhere with no harms to participants or the instrument psychometric performance. 17 To estimate the sample size, data from a pilot study among 20 subjects were used. Then sample size was calculated based on the Pearson correlation coefficient, considering as the null hypothesis, correlation coefficient = 0 (zero), α = 0.05 and β = 88%.…”
