The 33-item questionnaire was developed through the qualitative phase. Exploratory factor analysis loaded a 23-item with a seven factor solution that jointly accounted for 64.75% of observed variance. The confirmatory factor analysis indicated a good fit to the data. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient showed excellent internal consistency (α=0.80), and test-retest of the scale with a 2-week interval indicated an appropriate stability for the scale (ICC=0.89). The findings showed that the designed questionnaire was a valid and reliable instrument for measuring perceived barriers for self-care in middle-aged patients with diabetes mellitus type 2.
