      Self-Care Activities Instrument.

AB  - Translation of instruments needs to ensure equivalence between the source and the 
      target language to establish the psychometric properties of the translated 
      version. The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of 
      the Arabic version of the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) 
      instrument. The 12-item English version of the SDSCA was translated into Arabic 
      using back translation on a sample of 140 Lebanese participants with Type 2 
      diabetes. Construct validity was measured using exploratory factor analysis with 
      varimax rotation. Multitrait scaling analysis was used to test for item 
      convergent and discriminant validity based on item-scale correlations. Conceptual 
      and content validity were examined by an expert panel in diabetes. Internal 
      consistency reliability R was assessed using interitem correlations. The average 
      interitem correlation for the four subscales ranged between--.05 for Diet and .66 
      for Glucose Testing. Factor analysis identified four factors which accounted for 
      60% of the variance. The preliminary results of Summary of Diabetes Self-Care 
      Activities-Arabic Version (SDSCA-Ar) are comparable to the psychometric 
      properties the original SDSCA. SDSCA-Ar is a valid measure of diabetes self-care 
      in Lebanese patients with diabetes.
