20.500.12556/DKUM-91213 Cognitive and emotional perceptions of illness in patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) affects a patient’s physical, social, and mental well-being. Perceptions of the illness are linked to quality of life. The aim of this study was to assess illness perception in patients diagnosed with T2DM and to validate the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire in the Slovenian language. A cross-sectional study involved 141 patients diagnosed with T2DM. We performed a content analysis of the questionnaire and estimated the S-CVI, I-CVI, kappa coefficient. We also used Cronbach’s alpha to assess the reliability. Participants did not have a very threatening perception of T2DM, but being overweight and having cardiovascular disease were significant contributors to a more threatening perception. The most frequently indicated factors influencing the onset and development of T2DM were heredity and genetics, stress and other psychological distress, and poor and inadequate nutrition. I-CVI ranged from 0.833 to 1.00, while the kappa is greater than 0.74, confirming the excellent validity of the questions. The content validity assessment of the questionnaire further confirms that the questionnaire is suitable for use with the target population in Slovenia. The questionnaire proved to be a valid and reliable tool that can be used to assess the relationship between illness perception and self-management of T2DM. type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) illness perception psychometric properties sladkorna bolezen tipa 2 dojemanje bolezni psihometrične lastnosti true false true MDPI Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2024-11-28 15:18:21 2024-11-28 15:18:22 2024-11-29 03:12:47 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 str. 1-9 št. 2, št. članka 199 Letn. 12 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2023-12-29 2024-01-11 2024-01-15 616.379-008.64:613.86 181115907 10.3390/healthcare12020199 2227-9032 https://www.mdpi.com/2227-9032/12/2/199 1 a0a566fd-ad93-11ef-88e2-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=187006 healthcare-12-00199.pdf healthcare-12-00199.pdf 1 97BFF4BB5C532CC3E36709ED6B58F7A6 6eb6fb8475e44be8332a251c67a96af18b82173e267a98e2729c248a8e9725df d80abb7f-ad93-11ef-88e2-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=187007 Fakulteta za zdravstvene vede Fakulteta za elektrotehniko, računalništvo in informatiko 0 0 0
