“…The EFA in the current study confirmed that the adapted Arabic SDSCA tool contains three factors (i.e., diet, exercise, and blood glucose testing). These results are slightly different than the previous studies tested among patients with type 2 diabetes which revealed four factors {i.e., diet, exercise, blood glucose testing, and foot care} [2,7,20,32]. This minor difference in the subscales found between the aforementioned versions and the current study may be associated with the temporary nature of the GDM.…”

“…The foot care is not typically included in the GDM management plan and may not apply to pregnant women with GDM. However, the eight items solutions in the current study showed similar distribution within the three-factor model of previous studies [20,32]. This equal distribution also may indicate that items included in the three subscales diet, exercise, and glucose monitoring are universal and not be impacted by cultural issues.…”

“…The original SDSCA was also translated and evaluated, and it was found to be valid and reliable among type 2 diabetes patients from Indonesia, Ghana, Germany, and Malaysia [7,20,32,36]. An Arabic version of the original SDSCA was tested among 243 patients with T2DM, where test-retest reliability was .91 and Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the total scale was 0.76.…”

Background and purpose There is a lack of validated tools to assess adherence to gestational diabetes (GDM) management plan among women with GDM. This study aimed to translate the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activity (SDSCA) into Arabic, culturally adapt it, and test its psychometric properties among women with GDM. Methods A multiphase study was used to translate and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Arabic version of SDSCA using the following steps: (1) cultural and linguistic validation; (2) content and face validity testing; (3) construct validity testing; and (4) internal validity testing. Nineghty pregnant women with GDM were recruited to meet the purpose of this study. Results The Arabic version of the adapted SDSCA tool revealed adequate content validity, satisfactory internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.74), and test-retest reliability (Pearson correlation coefficient = .67). Exploratory factor analysis revealed three factors that fit data satisfactory: diet, exercise, and blood glucose monitoring. Conclusions This study showed that the adapted Arabic SDSCA tool is an easy, valid, and reliable tool to assess pregnant women’s adherence to GDM management plan.

A BSTRACT Objective: The English version of the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) measure is the most often used self-reporting instrument assessing diabetes self-management. This study was aimed at translating English SDSCA into the Hindi version and validating and evaluating its psychometric properties. Methods: The Hindi version of SDSCA was developed based on the guidelines provided by the World Health Organization (2008) for translation and adaptation of tool. Following steps were adopted: (1) Cultural and linguistic validation, (2) content validity testing, (3) construct validity testing, and (4) internal validity testing. Sixty women diagnosed with GDM were selected for the purpose of this study. Results: The tool showed promising and satisfactory results. Of mention are the results related to Cronbach’s alpha (0.82). The exploratory factor analysis showed three factors that fit the data satisfactorily. Conclusions: This study provided evidence for the reliability and validity of the Hindi Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities instrument, which may be used in the future to assess diabetes self-management activities among the pregnant women diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus among Hindi-speaking population.

“…Self-care in school-aged children can be evaluated by examining five critical components of a diabetic regimen: general diet, specific diet, exercise, medication, and blood glucose testing [6]. Diabetes self-care includes duties like self-monitoring blood glucose levels, eating a low-fat diet, and checking one’s feet.…”

Introduction: Diabetes is a chronic metabolic condition characterized by abnormally high blood glucose levels that eventually results in catastrophic damage to the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves. The available data from previous studies on the application of the 5 A’s model-based self-management program to increase knowledge and self-care practices in children are insufficient. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a self-management program based on the 5 A’s paradigm on school-aged children with type 1 diabetes. Methods: The research design was quasi-experimental. The investigation was conducted at EL Mogamma EL Teby AL Shamal diabetes facility. This study enrolled a convenience sample of 90 children who were accompanied by their moms. Five tools were utilized to collect the data: questionnaire for children’s examination; questionnaire for diabetic knowledge; a questionnaire on diabetes self-care; Diabetic Attitude Scale; and self-care practices for diabetics. Results: A total of 72.2%, 90.0%, 91.1%, 93.3%, and 96.7% of youngsters, respectively, lacked knowledge, engaged in ineffective self-care activities, had a negative attitude, and practiced incompetently. Differences between pre- and post-program implementation are statistically significant when a self-management program based on the 5 A’s model is implemented. Discussion/Conclusions: Self-management and self-care models, particularly the 5 A model, are helpful at improving the control of these symptoms, reducing associated problems, enhancing nursing care, and enhancing patients’ quality of life. Increasing the duration of a self-management program based on the 5 A’s model for children with type 1 diabetes reduces negative attitudes and improves quality of life but requires follow-up.
