Abstract
Multiple studies have eva-luated the self-care of patients with dia-betes mellitus; however, there is not enough literature where data collection instruments validated by expert judgment appear. Objective: To elaborate and va-lidate the content of an instrument to evaluate self-care and quantify how the level of physical activity and the diet in-fluence the health of users. As well as, to analyze the emotional state of the adult patient with type 2 diabetes, identifying the risks that intervene in their behavior for better self-care. Methodology: It is a prospective, quantitative, cross-sectional, analytical descriptive investigation. Using a pilot test with 16 patients as a probabi-listic population. Expert judgment valida-ted the instrument; it contains aspects of three corresponding categories. Results:the qualification granted by the experts obtained 97.6 points of reliability; it is va-lued as Very reliable as it is above 90% on the scale used. As a result, of the ex-pert judgment, when the responses ave-raged, 97.6 points of “Reliability” reached; therefore, it considered a “Very Reliable” instrument. That is, this result is located in the range between 100 and 80 points. Regarding the result of the internal con-sistency test through Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, it was 0.77, it proposes to eli-minate an item from the first version and the reliability of the scale raised to 0.80. In addition, the average time to comple-te the survey did not exceed 10 minutes, reaching an average of 8 min 45 seconds during the application, this leads to a logic of reproducibility and acceptable rhythm in the succession of the subjects, proving not to be complex for the patients. Con-clusion: Developed an instrument vali-dated by expert judgment, which reached 97.6 points of “Reliability. The quantitative study carried out showed that the level of physical activity is low and, in addition, they show disorders in their eating regi-men. The analysis of emotional state of adult patients with type 2 diabetes melli-tus, identified various risks for coping with the complex nature of this disease
