ABSTRACTBACKGROUND:Considering the ability of the health and self-management in diabetes
questionnaire (HASMID-10) to verify the impact of self-management on
diabetes, we highlight its relevance to scientific research and clinical
applicability. However, to date, no study has been conducted to
scientifically support its use in other languages.OBJECTIVE:To translate, cross-culturally adapt, and validate the HASMID-10 into the
Brazilian Portuguese.DESIGN AND SETTING:A translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and validation study conducted at
Ceuma University.METHODS:Study was conducted in accordance with the Guidelines for the Process of
Cross-Cultural Adaptation of Self-Report Measures and Consensus-based
Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments. We included
participants of both sexes diagnosed with diabetes, aged between 18 and 64
years, and without cognitive deficits or any other limitations that would
prevent them from answering the questionnaire. We assessed participants
using the problem areas in diabetes (PAID) scale and HASMID-10. We assessed
reliability using a test-retest model with a 7-day interval between
assessments. We used intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), 95%
confidence interval (CI), standard error of measurement (SEM), minimum
detectable difference (MDD), Spearman correlation coefficient, and floor and
ceiling effects.RESULTS:Sample comprised 116 participants, most of whom were women, overweight,
non-practitioners of physical activity, and nonsmokers. We observed
significant correlations (P = 0.006; rho = −0.256) between the HASMID-10 and
PAID, adequate reliability (ICC = 0.780) and internal consistency
(Cronbach's alpha = 0.796). No ceiling or floor effects were observed.CONCLUSION:HASMID-10 has adequate measurement properties and may be used for
Brazilians.
