Abstract
Introduction

The assessment of self-efficacy for adherence to healthy behaviours among women with gestational diabetes (GDM) is undermined by the unavailability of validated tools. Therefore, this study aimed at translating, culturally adapting and assessing the psychometric properties of the Arabic version of Gestational Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scale (GDMSES).

Materials and methods

This methodological study was conducted in the Antenatal Clinic at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital in Oman between October 2016 and January 2017. A total of 90 forms of the Arabic GDMSES tool were completed by Omani pregnant women with gestational diabetes. The study has a multiphase design: (1) cultural and linguistic validation; (2) content and face validity; (3) construct validity; (4) internal validity.

Results

The Arabic GDMSES showed satisfactory content validity (CVI between .8 and 1), acceptable overall scale internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's alpha=0.85) and stability overtime (Pearson correlation coefficient>.6). Four factors emerged for construct validity using exploratory factor analysis: nutrition and body weight, adaptation to healthy eating, physical activity and treatment and blood sugar. Our sample size of 90 was considered adequate in determining these factors (Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin=.78).

Conclusions

GDMSES is a valid and reliable tool, thus providing a quick and easy self-efficacy assessment tool for antenatal nurses dealing with pregnant women with GDM.

Resumen
Introducción y objetivos

La evaluación de la autoeficacia para la adherencia a conductas saludables entre mujeres con diabetes gestacional (DMG) se ve socavada por la falta de disponibilidad de herramientas validadas. Por lo tanto, este estudio tuvo como objetivo traducir, adaptar culturalmente y evaluar las propiedades psicométricas de la versión árabe de la escala de autoeficacia para el manejo de la diabetes gestacional (GDMSES).

Materiales y métodos

Este estudio metodológico se llevó a cabo en la Clínica Prenatal del Hospital Universitario Sultan Qaboos en Omán entre octubre de 2016 y enero de 2017. Un total de 90 formularios de la herramienta árabe GDMSES fueron completados por mujeres omaníes embarazadas con diabetes gestacional. El estudio tiene un diseño multifásico: (1) validación cultural y lingüística; (2) contenido y validez aparente; (3) validez de constructo; (4) validez interna.

Resultados

El GDMSES árabe mostró una validez de contenido satisfactoria (CVI entre 0,8 y 1), una confiabilidad de consistencia interna de la escala general aceptable (alfa de Cronbach = 0,85) y estabilidad en el tiempo (coeficiente de correlación de Pearson > 0,6). Surgieron cuatro factores para la validez de constructo utilizando un análisis factorial exploratorio: nutrición y peso corporal, adaptación a una alimentación saludable, actividad física y tratamiento y azúcar en sangre. Nuestro tamaño de muestra de 90 se consideró adecuado para determinar estos factores (Kaiser - Meyer - Olkin = 0,78).

Conclusiones

GDMSES es una herramienta válida y confiable, por lo que proporciona una herramienta de evaluación de la autoeficacia rápida y fácil para las enfermeras prenatales que tratan con mujeres embarazadas con DMG.
