Background: The quality of life (QoL) of diabetic foot ulcer patients is worse than that of diabetic patients. The Diabetic Foot Ulcer Scale-Short Form (DFS-SF) is an available instrument to evaluate the quality of life of diabetic foot individuals. The aim of this study was to translate the DFS-SF into Chinese and evaluate its validity and reliability. Methods: This study was conducted in two phases. We followed the Brislin Translation and Back-translation model to translate the DFS-SF into Mandarin Chinese in the first phase. In the second phase, we examined the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the DFS-SF. Results: A total of 208 participants were recruited for our study. The I-CVI of the Chinese version of the Diabetic Foot Ulcer Scale varied from 0.800-1.000, and the S-CVI/Ave was 0.911. The Cronbach’s α coefficient of the scale was 0.952. The confirmatory factor analysis showed the evitable structural validity of the scale, with CFI=0.911 and RMSEA=0.072 (P <0.001). The results of the criterion-related validity showed that the subscales were significantly related to the subscales of the SF-36, with coefficients ranging from 0.116 to 0.571 (P<0.05). Discussion: The procedure of the translation and the examination of the scale rigidly followed the suggested model. The reliability of our study was similar to that of other studies. Furthermore, the validity results showed that the scale structure was reliable. It could be a reliable instrument to evaluate the quality of life in the diabetic foot population. Conclusion: The adaptation and validation of the Chinese version of the Diabetic Foot Ulcers Scale-Short Form are good and it will be a reliable instrument to evaluate the QoL of Chinese diabetic foot ulcer patients.

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) negatively affect the quality of life (QoL) of people with diabetes. The Cardiff Wound Impact Schedule (CWIS) questionnaire has been designed to measure the QoL of people with chronic foot wounds. However, no studies have been specifically designed to validate this instrument in a Spanish population. In this prospective study, a total of 141 subjects with DFU were recruited. DFU was determined by performing physical examinations. Medical records were exhaustively reviewed to collect clinical variables. The CWIS was transculturally adapted by a group of experts and a group of patients with DFU. The SF-36 and EQ-5D generic instruments were used as reference tools. The questionnaires were administered at 7 days and 4, 12, and 26 weeks after the baseline assessment by personal interview with each of the study subjects. The psychometric properties of the instrument were assessed using statistical methods. The content validity had an average of 3.63 (90.7% of the maximum score of 4). The internal consistency of the CWIS subscales had a standardized Cronbach’s alpha range from 0.715 to 0.797. The reproducibility was moderate with an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) range from 0.606 to 0.868. Significant correlations between CWIS domains and SF-36 and EQ-5D subscales were observed, demonstrating a good criterion validity of the CWIS questionnaire (p < 0.001). However, the construct validity of the CWIS was not validated with a comparative fit index (CFI) of 0.69, a root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) of 0.09, and a standardized root mean square residual (SRMR) of 0.10. The sensitivity to changes over time was optimal in the three domains (i.e., social life, well-being, and physical symptoms) (p < 0.001). In conclusion, the Spanish version of the CWIS shows acceptable psychometric properties to assess the QoL of subjects with DFU, except for its construct validity.
