ABSTRACT
Background and Purpose:
Diabetes-specific distress (DD) is a crucial predictor of patients' self-care, necessitating reliable screening tools. The Diabetes Distress Scale captures typical sources of patients' distress effectively.Methods:
The Hungarian Diabetes Distress Scale (HDDS) was employed in two studies with 450 type 2 diabetes patients. Study 1 explored DD's link to the specific quality of life, while study 2 examined its associations with depressive symptoms, anxiety, and illness perception. We evaluated HDDS's construct validity, internal consistency, and intercorrelations. Convergent validity and discriminant validity were analyzed in the second study.Results:
Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses validated HDDS's structure. Subscales exhibited strong internal consistency and correlated as expected with quality of life, anxiety, depression, illness perception, and demographic/medical data.Conclusions:
The Hungarian DDS demonstrates robust psychometric properties, affirming its reliability and validity.
