Purpose: This research was carried out to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Korean version of the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities Questionnaire (SDSCA) for Korean older adults with type 2 diabetes. Methods: Translation and back-translation were performed to develop the Korean version of the SDSCA. Then the Korean version SDSCA was applied to a sample of 112 older adults who had participated in diabetes self management education in Seoul. The internal consistency and the test-retest reliability were examined to test the reliability. Factor analysis was used to examine the construct validity. Results: The internal consistency measured with Cronbach's alpha was .77 and the total test-retest reliability was .68 with items ranging from .21 to 1.00. As the result of the factor analysis, six factors -foot care, diet, exercise, blood sugar test, medication, and smoking- were revealed as the original instrument subcategories. These six factors explained 81.17% of total variance. Conclusion: The reliability and validity of the Korean version SDSCA Questionnaire was supported for use in older patients with type 2 diabetes in Korea.

본 연구 목적은 제2형 당뇨병 환자에서의 D-chiro-inositol(DCI)의 혈당강하 효과, 당뇨 자가관리(Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities, SDSCA) 및 삶의 질(SF-36 Version 2.0, Korean)에 미치는 요인을 파악하고자 하였다. 연구대상은 충남대학교병원 내분비대사내과에 내원한 제2형 당뇨병 환자 중에서 3제의 경구 혈당강하제를 12주 이상 투여 했음에도 불구하고 당화혈색소 7.0% 이상인 환자를 2015년 3월부터 2016년 5월까지 24주간 무작위 이중맹검 위약대조 임상시험으로 총 46명을 분석하였다. 연구결과, 실험군에서 DCI 투여 이후 당화혈색소 $8.75{\pm}0.79%$(베이스라인), $8.36{\pm}1.03%$(투여 12주), $8.65{\pm}0.81%$(투여 24주)으로 유의하게 감소하였으나(p<0.05), 대조군과의 변화량은 차이가 없었다. 흥미롭게도 실험군과 대조군에서 당뇨 자가관리 점수가 높아졌으며, 특히 실험군 변화량에서의 하부영역인 혈당검사 만이 유의한 차이를 보였고, 삶의 질은 투여 전 $73.05{\pm}16.85$점에서 투여후 $82.74{\pm}10.68$점으로 향상되었다. DCI 투여에 따른 실험군에서의 요인간 경로분석에서 공복 혈당 변화량은 당뇨 자가관리 변화량이 높을수록(${\beta}=-0.505$, t=-2.743) 높다고 확인되었다. 삶의 질 변화량에 가장 큰 영향을 준 변수는 공복 c-펩타이드 변화량이 높을수록(${\beta}=-0.445$, t=-2.668), 당뇨 자가관리 변화량이 높을수록(${\beta}=0.411$, t=2.024) 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 결론적으로 제2형 당뇨병 환자에게 DCI 투여는 투여 12주차에 혈당 강하 효과를 보이고, 24주차에는 없었지만, 혈당강하 효과는 환자의 당뇨 자가관리를 높이고 삶의 질을 향상시켰다. 본 연구에 기초하여 결과적인 지표와 제2형 당뇨병 환자의 주관적인 관점에서 평가될 수 있는 삶의 질에 대한 경로분석을 통하여 모형의 적합도에 관한 연구로써 그 의의가 있다고 본다.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the status and factors associated with self-management behavior (SMB) of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in a border area of southwest China. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with T2DM patients in Dali, China. The participants filled in the questionnaires including demographic and disease-related characteristics, psychosocial status, resources of DM knowledge, knowledge of DM care, competency in DM care skills, the Chinese Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scale (C-DMSES), and the Chinese Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (C-SDSCA). All the data were analyzed with SPSS version 26. Multiple linear regression analysis examined associations between predictors and SMB. Results: A total of 470 valid questionnaires have been collected. The score for overall SMB was 50.71± 11.99; 19.6% of patients were at a good level, 48.3% were moderate, and 32.1% were poor. The significant factors that influenced SMB included self-efficacy (β= 0.37; p< .001), competency in DM care skills (β= 0.22; p< .001) and lacked in the treatment confidence (β= -0.09; p= .023). Conclusion: The level of self-management among T2DM patients in this area was medium-low state. For future studies, our findings suggest that self-efficacy, competency in DM care skills, and treatment confidence should be considered essential factors in improving the self-management behavior of T2DM patients in the border area of southwest China.
