Key result
The Turkish version of the Diabetes Distress Scale demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha 0.874) and construct validity for assessing distress in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Why the study?
Patients with type 2 diabetes suffer from distress rather than depression, motivating the validation of the Turkish version of the Diabetes Distress Scale and assessment of participant distress levels.
Is the Turkish version of the Diabetes Distress Scale a reliable and valid tool for assessing distress in patients with type 2 diabetes?

The Turkish version of the Diabetes Distress Scale is a reliable and valid tool for assessing distress in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Çaklılı et al. (2019) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (n=205). Turkish version of the Diabetes Distress Scale was evaluated on Internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha). The Turkish version of the Diabetes Distress Scale demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha 0.874) and construct validity for assessing distress in patients with type 2 diabetes.
