      Diabetes Mellitus.

AB  - Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) affects a patient's physical, social, and mental 
      well-being. Perceptions of the illness are linked to quality of life. The aim of 
      this study was to assess illness perception in patients diagnosed with T2DM and 
      to validate the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire in the Slovenian language. 
      A cross-sectional study involved 141 patients diagnosed with T2DM. We performed a 
      content analysis of the questionnaire and estimated the S-CVI, I-CVI, kappa 
      coefficient. We also used Cronbach's alpha to assess the reliability. 
      Participants did not have a very threatening perception of T2DM, but being 
      overweight and having cardiovascular disease were significant contributors to a 
      more threatening perception. The most frequently indicated factors influencing 
      the onset and development of T2DM were heredity and genetics, stress and other 
      psychological distress, and poor and inadequate nutrition. I-CVI ranged from 
      0.833 to 1.00, while the kappa is greater than 0.74, confirming the excellent 
      validity of the questions. The content validity assessment of the questionnaire 
      further confirms that the questionnaire is suitable for use with the target 
      population in Slovenia. The questionnaire proved to be a valid and reliable tool 
      that can be used to assess the relationship between illness perception and 
      self-management of T2DM.
