Compilation and Preliminary Application of the Active Health Behavior Scale in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
This study aims to develop the Active Health Behavior Scale for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients and evaluate its psychometric properties, including internal consistency reliability, test-retest reliability, content validity, construct validity, and criterion-related validity. Additionally, this research will investigate the current status of active health behaviors among T2DM patients and employ latent profile analysis (LPA) to identify distinct behavioral subtypes. Furthermore, differences in…

About this study
This study aims to develop the Active Health Behavior Scale for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients and evaluate its psychometric properties, including internal consistency reliability, test-retest reliability, content validity, construct validity, and criterion-related validity. Additionally, this research will investigate the current status of active health behaviors among T2DM patients and employ latent profile analysis (LPA) to identify distinct behavioral subtypes. Furthermore, differences in demographic, clinical, and psychosocial determinants across the identified latent classes will be examined to inform tailored intervention strategies.
Interventions
- Other: Cross-sectional Study — In phase I, face-to-face semi-structured interviews will be conducted with approximately 15 patients with T2DM and 15 relevant healthcare workers (clinicians and nurses) from the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University. Each interview will last 15-30 minutes and take place in a quiet setting, such as an inpatient ward or demonstration classroom. In phase II (scale validation) and phase III (survey), T2DM patients attending the same department will be recruited.
Primary outcomes
- Total scale score of the Active Health Behavior Scale for Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. (One year, from December 2025 to December 2026)
