Abstract

Abstract: Objective: Diabetes burnout refers to the feeling of exhaustion and frustration in the management of diabetes, which can lead to treatment non-adherence, poor glycemic control, and a high prevalence of diabetes complications. Measuring diabetes burnout requires accurate and standard instruments. The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Farsi version Diabetes Burnout Scale (F-DBS). Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 550 patients with type 1 diabetes (262 men and 288 women) referred to diabetes centers in different cities of Hamedan province (Asadabad, Hamedan, Malayer, and Nahavand) in 2021. The mean age and duration of the disease in these patients were 35.58 (SD=14.32) and 15.02 (SD=10.60) years, respectively. Data were collected using the Diabetes Burnout Scale (DBS), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and Kessler psychological distress scale. After forward-backward translation, face, content and convergent validity were performed. To evaluate the construct validity, convergent validity, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were performed. Internal consistency was examined with Cronbach's alpha coefficients. Results: In the exploratory factor analysis, two factors of exhaustion (five items) and detachment (seven items) were extracted, which together explained 46.58% of the total variance. In confirmatory factor analysis, the fit indices were appropriate. There was a significant positive correlation between diabetes burnout and depression (r = 0.30, p < 0.001) and psychological distress (r = 0.36, p < 0.001). Cronbach's alpha coefficient of diabetes burnout, exhaustion and detachment were 0.813, 0.846 and 0.812, respectively. Conclusion: The Farsi version of the Diabetes Burnout scale has acceptable validity and reliability and can be used in various studies. Highlights: Measuring diabetes burnout requires a valid and reliable tool. The Farsi version of the diabetes burnout scale has good validity and reliability. The Farsi version of diabetes burnout scale had two factors of exhaustion and detachment, which explained about half of the total variance.
