Development and Preliminary Validation of a New Type 1 Diabetes Adjustment Scale (DAS-1). Front Psychol. 2020 Apr 16;11:533http://hdl.handle.net/10668/3875Background: This study focuses on the development and validation of a new Type 1 Diabetes Adjustment Scale (DAS-1). Method: A total of 204 participants aged 15–65 with type 1 diabetes completed the self-report measures of the DAS-1, which includes clinical and psychological variables. Results: Robust confirmatory factor analysis detected a unidimensional structure of the item scores. The omega coefficient was 0.91 and test–retest reliability was 0.87. Classifying subjects as in a Positive or Negative mood state, ROC analysis yielded an optimal cut-off of 50 for the DAS-1 scores, with a clinical accuracy of AUC = 0.85. The DAS-1 demonstrated evidence of good reliability and acceptable construct validity. Conclusion: The DAS-1 demonstrated good clinical utility, good sensitivity and adequate specificity. Clinical and theoretical implications of these results are discussed.enAtribución 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Type 1 diabetesAdjustment scaleAssessmentRobust factor structureReliabilityValidityMedical Subject Headings::Organisms::Eukaryota::Animals::Chordata::Vertebrates::Mammals::Primates::Haplorhini::Catarrhini::Hominidae::HumansMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Investigative Techniques::Evaluation Studies as Topic::Reproducibility of ResultsMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Endocrine System Diseases::Diabetes Mellitus::Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1Medical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Investigative Techniques::Epidemiologic Methods::Statistics as Topic::Sensitivity and Specificity::ROC CurveMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Investigative Techniques::Epidemiologic Methods::Statistics as Topic::Area Under CurveMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Investigative Techniques::Epidemiologic Methods::Data Collection::Questionnaires::Self ReportMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Investigative Techniques::Epidemiologic Methods::Statistics as Topic::Factor Analysis, Statisticalresearch article32372997open accessDiabetes mellitus tipo 1AutoevaluaciónFecha de caducidad de productosEstudio de validación10.3389/fpsyg.2020.005331664-1078PMC7177012
