AB  - Self-care is an important nursing-sensitive outcome. Reliable and valid measures 
      are needed for therapeutic self-care assessment that may inform the development 
      and evaluation of individualized nursing interventions co-created with type 2 
      diabetes mellitus (T2DM) adults. The therapeutic self-care scale European 
      Portuguese version (TSCS-EPV) is a validated generic measure that may be used to 
      assess self-care in T2DM adults. AIM: To examine the psychometric properties of 
      the TSCS-EP version in T2DM adults, in primary health care. METHODS: A 
      cross-sectional pilot study in a convenience sample of 80 adults with T2DM from 
      two primary health care centers in Portugal was conducted. Individuals completed 
      the Portuguese version of the TSC scale. RESULTS: A three-factor solution emerged 
      from the principal component analysis: "Recognizing and managing signs and 
      symptoms"; "Managing changes in health condition" and "Managing medication", 
      explaining 75% of the total variance. Total scale Cronbach's alpha was 0.884 and 
      for the three factors ranged from 0.808 to 0.954. CONCLUSION: the therapeutic 
      self-care scale European Portuguese version is a promising scale for assessing 
      therapeutic self-care abilities in adults with T2DM in primary care settings. 
      More consistent results on its validity and reliability are needed for it to be 
      used in the country.
