Background:
Mobile applications have the potential to provide needed support for older adults with diabetes. The field of medical application is currently one of the most dynamic in application development and medicine.
Objective:
This study was designed to develop and validate a questionnaire to assess knowledge, attitude and practice of uncontrolled diabetic patients towards mobile based health applications.
Methods:
A Cross Sectional study was designed and enrolled 78 adult uncontrolled diabetic (≥18 years old DM type 2)patients and clinically validated questionnaire was examined for internal consistency, reproducibility, convergent and discriminant validity using Cronbach's alpha, intra class correlation and CITC scores respectively.
Results:
Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.97 for Assessment of Knowledge, 0.93 for Assessment of Attitude, and 0.90 for Assessment of Practice in uncontrolled diabetic population.
Conclusion:
The final version of questionnaire was found to be statistically internally consistent, reproducible and reliable and could be used to assess the awareness and attitude of patients towards self-management of diabetes mellitus.
