Validation of a diabetes knowledge test for Indian children, adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION:Diabetes knowledge has a large impact on glycemic control. There is a pressing need for creation of validated tests of knowledge for different ethnic groups. OBJECTIVE:To create and validate a diabetes knowledge test (DKT) for young Indians with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). METHODS:We created a 34 item Hindi language DKT, with basic (19-questions) and advanced (15-questions) components. It was administered to 77 consecutive patients who had previously received in-hospital diabetes education. We hypothesized that the test scores would be higher for patients residing in urban regions, for patients with higher maternal education, and those with lower HbA1c. Cronbach's alpha (α) was used to calculate the test reliability. RESULTS:The DKT score was significantly higher in families with higher (>class 12th) maternal formal education compared with lower [70.0 (95% C.I. 67.2-73.5) vs 54.2 (95% C.I. 44.0-57.3), p<0.001] and urban residence compared with rural [68.5 (95% C.I. 63.4-70.6) vs 54.5 (95% C.I. 42.5-61.7), p<0.001]. It had negative correlation with HbA1c (r=-0.268, p=0.019). The Cronbach's α was 0.87 for the entire test, and for the basic and advanced components was 0.78 and 0.74 respectively. CONCLUSION:The DKT India is a valid and reliable instrument to evaluate diabetes knowledge in Hindi speaking Indian children, adolescents and young adults with T1DM.
