Mcgill Empowerment Assessment-Diabetes Questionnaire: Turkish Validity and Reliability Study
Öz
Aim: The present study aimed to examine the Turkish validity and reliability of the McGill Empowerment Assessment-Diabetes (MEA-D) Questionnaire in individuals with diabetes.
Material and Method: The present study was conducted in methodological design. This methodological study was conducted on 300 individuals diagnosed with diabetes. Personal information form and MEA-D were used to collect the data. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, Cronbach’s alpha, item-total score correlation, and test-retest analysis were used to evaluate the data collected.
Results: Factor loads of items were between 0.64-0.92. Fit index values were x²/SD 1.90, CFI = 0.97, NFI = 0.92, IFI = 0.96, TLI = 0.95 RMSEA = 0.078, RMR = 0.07, and SRMR = 0.08. Sub-dimensions had Cronbach’s Alpha values between 0.92 and 0.98, while total Cronbach’s alpha value was 0.96. It was concluded that the Turkish version of the 28-item and 4 sub-dimension questionnaire was confirmed with no changes to the original form.
Conclusion: Turkish version of the MEA-D is a valid and reliable tool for evaluating the empowerment status of individuals diagnosed with diabetes and for being used in clinical settings.
