      for type 2 diabetes and distress levels of the participants.

AB  - BACKGROUND/AIM: Studies have shown an increased depression rate in patients with 
      type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) compared to the normal population. It is now 
      acknowledged that patients suffer from distress rather than depression. Our aim 
      was to validate the Turkish version of the Diabetes Distress Scale (DDS) and to 
      show distress levels of the participants. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The scale was 
      translated from English to Turkish by the authors and translated back to English. 
      Between August 2015 and January 2016 all the patients who were referred to the 
      T2DM Clinic of Istanbul Medeniyet University were screened, and eligible patients 
      were recruited. For calculating internal consistency Cronbach's alpha coefficient 
      was used. RESULTS: A total of 205 patients [120 females (58.5%), 85 males 
      (41.5%)] were included. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.874, showing internal 
      consistency. The Spearman Brown correlation coefficient was calculated between 
      the first 9 and second 8 questions as 0.884. Thetotal variances were explained at 
      a level of 66.2% with 4 factors. Sixty-three patients (30%) had a score of >/=3, 
      indicating diabetic distress. Correlation analysis showed a significant 
      correlation between total score and HbA1c levels (r = 0.152 and P = 0.038). 
      CONCLUSION: The Turkish version of the DDS for type 2 diabetes is a reliable tool 
      for assessment of distress levels.
