目的-本研究报告的24项版本的糖尿病知识问卷（DKQ）的心理测量特性研究设计和方法-原始的60项DKQ被管理到502名成年墨西哥裔美国人与2型糖尿病的斯塔尔县糖尿病教育研究的一部分。样本由252名参与者和250名支助伙伴组成。受试者被随机分配到教育和社会支持干预组（n = 250）或候补对照组（n = 252）。在数据收集完成后，从原始工具衍生出DKQ的缩短的24项版本。通过Cronbach系数α评估可靠性。为了确定有效性，实验组和对照组之间的差异进行了基线和教育部分的intervention.RESULTS后，24项版本的DKQ（DKQ-24）达到了0.78的信度系数，表明内部一致性，并表现出对干预的敏感性，结论-DKQ-24是糖尿病相关知识的可靠和有效的测量，相对容易管理英语或西班牙语的人。
OBJECTIVE - This study reports the psychometric properties of the 24-item version of the Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire (DKQ).RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS - The original 60-item DKQ was administered to 502 adult Mexican-Americans with type 2 diabetes who are part of the Starr County Diabetes Education Study. The sample was composed of 252 participants and 250 support partners. The subjects were randomly assigned to the educational and social support intervention (n = 250) or to the wait-listed control group (n = 252). A shortened 24-item version of the DKQ was derived from the original instrument after data collection was completed. Reliability was assessed by means of Cronbach's coefficient alpha. To determine validity, differentiation between the experimental and control groups was conducted at baseline and after the educational portion of the intervention.RESULTS - The 24-item version of the DKQ (DKQ-24) attained a reliability coefficient of 0.78, indicating internal consistency, and showed sensitivity to the intervention, suggesting construct validation.CONCLUSIONS - The DKQ-24 is a reliable and valid measure of diabetes-related knowledge that is relatively easy to administer to either English or Spanish speakers.
