“…In the present study we developed the elderly diabetes burden scale for the assessment of diabetic‐specific psychological aspects. The EDBS is a short version of the elderly diabetes impact scale previously reported 12 . The factor analysis of 23 items led to six subscales, which adequately reflect the concept of diabetes‐specific QOL including physical, psychological, and social burden due to diabetic complications and treatment.…”

“…To assess a diabetes‐specific QOL for elderly patients with diabetes mellitus, we previously developed the EDIS, which consisted of 37 items 12 . The scale was designed to assess specifically the six main components of QOL (symptom burden, dietary restrictions, social burden, worry about diabetes, treatment satisfaction, and burden by tablets or insulin).…”

Background:The purpose of the present paper was to validate an elderly diabetes burden scale (EDBS) and to assess its correlates in elderly patients with diabetes mellitus. Methods:Comprehensive questionnaires about both diabetes-specific and non-specific quality of life (QOL) were given by an interviewer to 455 elderly diabetic patients aged > 65 years. To assess diabetes-specific QOL, the EDBS was developed. The internal consistency and test-retest reliability of the EDBS were assessed. The validity of the EDBS was assessed with the correlation with the Philadelphia Geriatric Center morale scale, the minimental state examination (MMSE) and diabetic complications, treatment of diabetes, hemoglobin (Hb) A1c, frequency of hypoglycemia, and socioeconomic factors.Results: Factor analysis of the 23 items on EDBS produced six reliable components (Cronbach's a ): symptom burden (0.55), dietary restrictions (0.89), social burden (0.89), worry about diabetes (0.85), treatment dissatisfaction (0.85), and burden by tablets or insulin (0.77). It was found that the EDBS and its six subscales had good test-retest reliability ( r = 0.94-0.99). However, the EDBS correlated significantly with the morale scale but not with MMSE, suggesting convergent and discriminant validity. The high scores of some subscales and total EDBS were significantly associated with high HbA1c level, frequency of hypoglycemia, and insulin therapy, showing construct validity. Multivariate analyses revealed that hyperglycemia, frequency of hypoglycemia, insulin treatment, the presence of microangiopathy, and low positive social support were independently associated with increased elderly diabetes burden scores. Conclusion:The EDBS is a simple but reliable and valid measure of diabetic-specific QOL in elderly people with diabetes mellitus.

“…The Elderly Diabetes Impact Scales (EDIS) [9] was developed to evaluate quality of life (QOL) in elderly diabetic patients. The EDIS consists of 6 subscales of burden of symptoms, burden of daily life, burden of diet therapy, burden of drug therapy, satisfaction, and worry, with a total of 37 items.…”

Purpose: To identify factors related to changes in foot status and foot care in patients with diabetes mellitus participating in an exercise program. Methods: The subjects were 21 patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (8 males, 13 females). The mean age of the patients was 62.3 ± 12.5 years old. Foot status, physical measurements and daily activities were monitored and several surveys were performed. Results: Changes in foot status were significantly positively correlated with walking at normal speed (r = 0.54, p < 0.05) and fast speed (r = 0.68, p < 0.01), and significantly negatively correlated with foot care (r = −0.51, p < 0.05). Foot care showed a significant negative correlation with burden of diet therapy (r = −0.48, p < 0.05) and a significant positive correlation with the self-efficacy of diet therapy (r = 0.65, p < 0.01). Conclusions: Subjects who were fast walkers showed greater changes in foot status. Poor foot care behavior is also related to greater changes in foot status. Regular interventions for foot care are important to improve self-care behavior during an exercise program.
