Purpose

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the psychometric properties of a Spanish-language version of the Diabetes Self-management Assessment Report Tool (D-SMART®) for Hispanics with type 2 diabetes.

Methods

Participants were 174 Hispanics from the Worcester Family Health Center diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Reliability testing was conducted to determine the internal consistency and stability of the newly revised Spanish-language version of the D-SMART.

Results

Psychometric findings support the reliability of the newly translated Spanish-language version of the D-SMART.

Conclusions

The newly revised Spanish-language version of the D-SMART provides educators with a culturally relevant measure of diabetes self-management along with a better understanding about how Hispanics perceive their diabetes and self-management practices.
