Psychometric properties of a Turkish version of the Collaborative Parent Involvement Scale for youths with type 1 diabetes

This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Collaborative Parent Involvement Scale for youths with type-1 diabetes. This methodological descriptive-correlational study was carried out on 200 youths with type-1 diabetes, between November 2018 and November 2019. Factor analysis, Cronbach's alpha coefficient, and item-total correlation were used to evaluate the data. The total Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the Turkish scale was 0.958. From the confirmatory factor analysis, the results of model-fit index are: goodness-of-fit index = 0.94, comparative fit index = 0.99. Therefore, the Turkish version of the Collaborative Parent Involvement Scale, designed for youth with diabetes, was found to be a valid and reliable measurement tool for the Turkish population.
