The prevalence of DM for adults was estimated to be 6.4% in 2010 and is projected to rise to 7.7% by the year 2030 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR2">2</xref>]. European data published in 2013, show an 8.5% prevalence of diabetes in the age group of 20–79 years [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">3</xref>]. Consisting an emerging pandemic, diabetes imposes a large economic burden on the individual, the national healthcare system, and the economy [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR4">4</xref>]. This is not the consequence of just diabetes per se, but also of its complications, which additionally contribute to premature mortality rates, and social and economic burdens [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref>].</p><p>In order to prevent diabetes, manage existing diabetes, and prevent or at least slow down the rate of development of diabetes complications, medical nutrition therapy (MNT) is recommended [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>]. MNT consists of healthy eating, regular physical activity, and often pharmacotherapy [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR7">7</xref>]. These behavioral changes need to be achieved and maintained, given the fact that diabetes is a chronic condition, in order to improve clinical outcomes, health status, and quality of life [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref>]. In recognition of diabetes being a largely self-managed condition, care for those people is focused on diabetes self-management education and support, and aims at facilitating the aforementioned behavior changes [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR7">7</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref>]. However, behavioral changes are complex processes that are influenced by various factors, among which self-efficacy has been identified as a core one [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>].</p><p>Self-efficacy is a concept introduced by Bandura within the context of social learning theory, which was progressed into the social cognitive theory [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">10</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>]. Social cognitive theory postulates that an individual’s behavior is determined by personal, behavioral, and environmental factors [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">10</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>]. These factors are not of equal strength, do not occur simultaneously and the interaction between them differs based on the individual, the particular behavior being examined, and the specific situation in which the behavior occurs [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>]. However, humans contribute to their own motivation, behavior, and development due to five capabilities: symbolizing, vicarious, forethought, self-regulatory, self-reflective [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR11">11</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>]. Self-efficacy is a major determinant of self-regulation and is defined as “people’s beliefs about their capabilities to produce designated levels of performance that exercise influence over events that affect their lives” [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref>].</p><p>In diabetes, self-efficacy has been found to have a direct relation with self-care, in a way that this construct owns the predictability power of self-care behavior [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR14">14</xref>]. This finding has also been replicated in low-income diabetic populations, where higher self-efficacy has been associated with improved glycemic control, medication adherence, self-care behavior, and mental health-related quality of life [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">15</xref>]. However, even though self-efficacy has been found to positively affect adherence to treatment, mixed results have been presented regarding the impact on clinical outcomes [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR16">16</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR18">18</xref>]. This may be partly attributed to the fact that there is not only one tool available for assessing self-efficacy.</p><p>In fact, several tools have been developed and used for evaluating self-efficacy of diabetic patients, the most widely used being the Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scale (DMSES) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR19">19</xref>]. This tool was originally developed in 1999 and consists of 20 items that reflect the tasks a person with type 2 diabetes (T2D) has to carry out in the context of managing this condition [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR20">20</xref>]. These diabetes self-care activities can be grouped as follows [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR21">21</xref>]:<list list-type="order"><list-item><p>Performing activities essential for the treatment of diabetes (i.e., use of medication, dietary adherence);</p></list-item><list-item><p>Self-observation (i.e., of body weight, feet condition);</p></list-item><list-item><p>Self-regulating activities (i.e., correction of hypo and/or hyperglycemia).</p></list-item></list></p><p>This original tool consists of four factors: five items in the first factor (nutrition specific and weight), nine items in the second factor (nutrition general and medical treatment), three items in the third factor (physical exercise), and three items in the fourth factor (blood sugar). Two versions of the tool are available, both of them consisting of these 20 items and differing mainly in the responses available. The first one asks the respondent to select from a five-point scale (yes definitely, probably yes, maybe yes/maybe no, probably no, definitely not) the answer that best suits him/her to the question of how convinced he/she is that he/she is able to perform the task described in each item [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR20">20</xref>]. This version has been translated and validated in Turkish [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR22">22</xref>] and Iranian [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR23">23</xref>]. The second version uses an 11-point scale which ranges from 0 (cannot do at all) to 10 (certainly can do) as response options to the statement “I am confident that I am able to…” which ends with each one of the items included in the scale. This version has been adapted for use in China [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR24">24</xref>] and Australia [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR25">25</xref>]. In both occasions, response grades are summed to produce a single score for self-efficacy.</p><p>In accordance to European data, a 7% prevalence of diabetes is reported for Greece [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">3</xref>], but no tools measuring self-efficacy related to diabetes self-management are available for this population. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to translate and culturally adapt the DMSES into Greek (GR-DMSES) and to test the psychometric properties of the produced instrument in a Greek population of middle-aged and elderly patients with T2D. This validated version of DMSES will be used in the ATTICA pilot of the EU-funded project SmartCare, aiming to investigate whether computer-based self-management support can contribute to improve health outcomes of patients with T2D aged over 50 years. Given the need for a tool suitable for use in the aforementioned study and the high prevalence of T2D in older adults [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR26">26</xref>], the simplest five-point answer scale [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR20">20</xref>] was chosen to be translated and validated.</p></sec><sec id="Sec2"><title>Methods</title><p>To ensure the quality and the efficiency of the adapted instrument in the Greek T2D population, the validation of the GR-DMSES was based on the procedure that has been previously described in the literature [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR27">27</xref>]. This procedure was accomplished in two phases.</p><sec id="Sec3"><title>First Phase: Translation, Cultural Adaptation, and Content Validity Measurement</title><sec id="Sec4"><title>Sample and Setting</title><p>A convenient sample of patients with T2D was recruited from the Diabetic Association of Piraeus and Islands in Attica, Greece, and from a public, military hospital in the same area. In total, 150 people were recruited and given a consent form. To determine the sufficient size of the sample for factor analytic procedures, the following two criteria were used: (1) the sample should have 51 more cases than the number of variables to support Chi-square testing in Bartlett’s test of sphericity [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR28">28</xref>]; (2) the sample should include at least 100 cases and a subjects to variables (STV) ratio should be no less than 5 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR29">29</xref>]. One of the authors (VE) collected all the data through face-to-face interviews with the participants, during a week. The information collected was confidential and the study procedures were according to the Declaration of Helsinki of 1964, describing the Ethical Principles for Medical Research Involving Human Subjects, as revised in 2013.</p></sec><sec id="Sec5"><title>Translation</title><p>Given the fact that there is no perfect method for translating an instrument, multiple techniques were used, as proposed for cross-cultural research, namely forward translation, consensus meeting, back translation, and pre-test piloting [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR30">30</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR31">31</xref>]. Forward translation: two bilingual (Greek and English) translators worked independently to produce a Greek version of the DMSES. Consensus meeting: according to the WHO Scientific Advisory Committee of the Medical Outcomes Trust, the 8th requirement when developing or translating an instrument is the cultural adaption which also involves the revision of the translated instrument by a panel of experts [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR32">32</xref>]. To resolve any ambiguities and discrepancies between the two forward translated versions and to culturally adapt the instrument, the items were revised from a consensus group. The group consisted of the two forward translators, a third bilingual translator and one endocrinologist. Back translation: the version produced by the group was then back translated in English by two bilingual translators whose mother tongue is English and who had never before seen the original English version of the scale.</p></sec><sec id="Sec6"><title>Content Validity</title><p>To test content validity, the translated version was sent to a panel consisting of eight experts in the area of diabetes self-management, who were familiarized with the conceptual underpinnings and measurement model of the instrument. This multidisciplinary team comprised three endocrinologists, one diabetes specialist pathologist, two registered dietitians, and two registered nurses. Each of the health professionals were asked to assess the necessity of each item of the instrument through a three-response Likert scale (1 = “necessary”, 2 = “useful but not necessary”, and 3 = “unnecessary”). A content validity index of individual items (I-CVI) was calculated for each item as well as an overall score; average of the I-CVIs for all items on the scale (S-CVI/Ave) for the GR-DMSES. The I-CVI is computed as the number of experts giving a rating of 1 (thus dichotomizing the ordinal scale into necessary and not necessary), divided by the total number of experts. S-CVI/Ave is computed as the average of the I-CVIs for all items on the scale. According to Davis (1992), a content valid instrument should have a minimum content validity index of 0.80 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR33">33</xref>]. During this procedure, item 18 “I am able to visit my doctor once a year to monitor my diabetes”, was changed to “I am able to visit my doctor every three months to monitor my diabetes” to reflect local best practice. Additionally, the word “blood” from the phrase “blood sugar” in items 1, 2, and 3, was not translated into Greek at all, as it is not used in every day speaking when someone is referring to blood sugar.</p></sec><sec id="Sec7"><title>Pre-test Piloting</title><p>The instrument was pilot tested with 10 patients with T2D from the Diabetic Association of Piraeus and Islands in Attica, Greece, to ensure that future users will comprehend all questions and procedures [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR34">34</xref>]. Statement of doubts and suggestions regarding each item of the scale was encouraged by open-ended questions, asked by one of the authors. No difficulties in understanding the items were recorded. Completion of the questionnaire took 6–12 minutes.</p></sec></sec><sec id="Sec8"><title>Second Phase: Psychometric Testing</title><sec id="Sec9"><title>Internal Consistency</title><p>To determine internal consistency, Cronbach’s alpha was used, which is expressed as a number between 0 and 1 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR35">35</xref>]. Values that fall between 0.80 and 0.90 are considered a very good indicator [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR36">36</xref>]. Except for overall alpha, two other indicators are important for internal consistency; corrected item–total correlation and Cronbach’s alpha if item deleted. The first indicator is a way to assess how well one item’s score is internally consistent with composite scores from all other items that remain. If this correlation is weak (anything less than 0.30 is a weak correlation for item-analysis purposes) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR37">37</xref>], then that item should be removed and not used to form a composite score for the variable in question. The other indicator is the resulted Cronbach’s alpha if a given item is deleted and it is valuable for determining which of a set of items contributes to the total alpha.</p></sec><sec id="Sec10"><title>Construct Validity</title><p>Construct validity was examined by undertaking Principal-Component Factor Analysis with a varimax rotation. To attain the best fitting structure and the correct number of factors, the following criteria were used: (1) Kaiser rule, (2) the percentage of variation that is explained, (3) scree plot. According to Kaiser rule [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR38">38</xref>], the factors that should remain are those with eigenvalue greater than 1.0, since this essentially shows that this value is the amount of variation explained by a factor and the eigenvalue which is equal to 1.0 shows a substantial change. A second selection method based on similar conceptual structure is to retain the number of factors that account for a certain percent of variance extracted. There is no unanimity in the literature regarding the degree of the variance explained needed before the number of factors is sufficient. The majority suggest that 75–90% of the variance should be accounted for [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR39">39</xref>]; however, some indicate that as little as 50% of the variance explained is acceptable [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR40">40</xref>], especially when the researcher’s goal emphasizes parsimony (explaining variance with as few factors as possible). The third criterion is the Cattell’s scree plot, which helps to determine the number of factors seeing the breaking point or elbow [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR41">41</xref>]. Ultimately, the decision regarding the number of factors to retain should be made based on comprehensibility and interpretability in the context of the research [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR29">29</xref>].</p><p>Additionally, it is determined that only factors with loadings >0.30 were included in each factor. Prior to conducting factor analysis, the following conditions were examined to determine if it was appropriate to continue with the specific analysis: correlation matrix, communalities, reproduced correlations, measures of sampling adequacy (MSA). Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin measure of sampling adequacy (KMO) and Bartlett’s test were calculated to evaluate whether the sample was large enough to perform a satisfactory factor analysis. The KMO should be greater than 0.5 to proceed with a satisfactory factor analysis and values greater than 0.8 consist a really good indicator [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR38">38</xref>]. The <italic>P</italic> value of Bartlett’s test of sphericity (which tests the null hypothesis that the original correlation matrix is an identity matrix) should be significant and lower than 0.05 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR38">38</xref>].</p></sec><sec id="Sec11"><title>Stability</title><p>For examining test–retest reliability and stability, 25 participants, randomly selected from the total sample, completed for the second time the questionnaire 5 weeks after the first completion. Based on a code that each respondent had, the respondent’s data of the first and second measurement could be detected and matched. Then, by means of the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), the test–retest reliability was calculated, with appropriate transformation of data.</p></sec></sec><sec id="Sec12"><title>Statistical Analysis</title><p>Data analysis was conducted using SPSS statistical software version 21 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). All variables of the study were calculated with descriptive analysis including mean, standard deviation (SD), frequency and percentage. The psychometric properties of the GR-DMSES were determined with item analysis, reliability, and validity. Item analysis were conducted with item–total correlations. To test the reliability of the GR-DMSES, internal consistency using Cronbach’s alpha for each subscale and the overall DMSES. Construct validity was examined by undertaking Principal-Component Factor Analysis with a varimax rotation. To test stability of the GR-DMSES, test–retest reliability was evaluated using ICC using a two-way random effects model and absolute agreement with a 5-week interval between assessments.</p></sec></sec><sec id="Sec13"><title>Results</title><sec id="Sec14"><title>Research Population</title><p>From the 150 people initially recruited to participate in the study, only 117 returned completed questionnaires (response rate 78%) and consent forms.

ICC was found to be 0.87 (95% confidence interval 0.085–0.965, <italic>P</italic> < 0.001).</p></sec></sec><sec id="Sec19"><title>Discussion</title><p>The objective of this study was to translate, culturally adapt and evaluate the validity and reliability of the DMSES among a Greek population. According to the results of the present study, the items were homogenous to the scale; as the mean and variance scores of each item and item–total correlation confirmed this homogeneity.</p><p>The sample size in the present study was larger than that of the Australian (<italic>n</italic> = 88) and Turkish (<italic>n</italic> = 101) validation studies and smaller than that of the Iranian (<italic>n</italic> = 332) and Chinese (<italic>n</italic> = 230) validation studies [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR22">22</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR25">25</xref>]. For sample size determination, all criteria that were suggested in the methods section were satisfied.</p><p>The content validity of this scale seems sufficiently secured. Specifically, the S-CVI/Ave score depicted acceptable agreement [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR42">42</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR43">43</xref>], but was found to be smaller than that calculated in the validation study for the Chinese version (0.86) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR24">24</xref>]. In the present study, the expert panel consisted of professionals working with diabetic patients coming from different disciplines (nurses, dietitians, endocrinologists), all being aware that self-efficacy consists a major determinant of self-management. However, there were no self-efficacy experts in the panel as there is no such specialty in Greece.</p><p>Reliability of the GR-DMSES was high with a value of 0.93 of the total scale and ranged from 0.70 to 0.92 for the subscales. This is similar to findings reported for the Iranian (0.92), English (0.91), and Chinese versions (0.93), and higher than the Dutch (0.81) and Turkish versions (0.88) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR20">20</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR22">22</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR25">25</xref>].</p><p>It is of note that the various versions differ in the number of factors revealed. In the present study, four factors were generated, in concordance to the Chinese and Dutch tools [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR20">20</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR24">24</xref>], whereas in the Turkish version there were three factors [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR22">22</xref>] and in the Iranian version, five factors [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR23">23</xref>]. The difference in the number of generated factors between the present version and other versions, could be related either to the various response scales of the instruments or to different sample sizes. The present tool is closer to the original regarding sample size and uses the same response scale, parameters that may explain the fact that in both tools four factors were revealed. Differences were also apparent regarding the content of factors. Factor 1 in GR-DMSES is the same to factor 1 of the Chinese version and similar to the sum of factors 1 and 2 of the Dutch version. Factor 2 in GR-DMSES is similar to factor 2 and two items present in factors 3 and 4 of the Chinese version, and to factor 4 plus two items present in factors 1 and 2 of the Dutch version. Factor 3 is similar to factor 4 of the Chinese version and there is no similarity with any of the factors found in the Dutch version. Finally, factor 4 is similar to factor 3 of the Chinese version, which has an extra item and identical to factor 3 of the Dutch version.</p><p>The findings with regard to stability of the instrument, measured with a time interval of 5 weeks, can be judged as excellent good with an ICC of 0.87. This finding on the test–retest reliability indicated good stability of the GR-DMSES according to Rosner’s recommendation, who suggested that an ICC >0.75 means excellent reproducibility [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR44">44</xref>]. This finding is similar to that of the Turkish version of DMSES where the ICC was found to be 0.91. There are two common methods to calculate test–retest reliability: Pearson’s product-moment correlation and ICC [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR45">45</xref>]. However, the Pearson’s product-moment correlation, which is used in other studies, has limitations such as an inability to detect a systematic error [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR45">45</xref>]. On the other hand, ICC has been reported to be a more sensitive method to assess test–retest reliability.</p><p>Nevertheless it should be noted that this tool was validated in middle and old age urban convenient population suffering from T2D. This may limit the generalizability of the findings in other age groups or rural populations.</p><p>Summarizing, self-efficacy is a major determinant of self-regulation and diabetes consists a highly prevalent, among Greeks, chronic disease demanding self-management. Health professionals are in position to help people with diabetes improve their self-efficacy. However, the first step of nutrition care process, a systematic approach to providing high-quality nutrition care [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR46">46</xref>], is assessment. Having a validated tool appropriate for the population to assess self-efficacy is really important in the realm of providing the best nutritional support. Moreover, applying an already widely used tool gives the opportunity to health professionals to compare the effectiveness of their intervention, regarding self-efficacy, to that of other studies and further improve their techniques. This study showed that GR-DMSES is a valid and reliable scale and could be used to measure self-efficacy related to diabetes self-management of Greek diabetic patients, thus providing a quick and easy-to-use tool to health professionals dealing with Greek adults with T2D.</p></sec><sec sec-type="supplementary-material"><title>Electronic supplementary material</title><sec id="Sec20"><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="MOESM1"><media xlink:href="12325_2015_278_MOESM1_ESM.pdf"><caption><p>Supplementary material 1 (PDF 216 kb)</p></caption></media></supplementary-material></sec></sec></body><back><ack><p>The authors would like to thank Mrs. Golfo Gemistou, president of Diabetic Association of Piraeus and Islands in Attica, Greece, and all the diabetic patients who participated in the study.
