Abstract
Objective The purpose of the study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese Version of Hypoglycemia Fear Survey II-Worry Scale (CHFSII-WS) and provide a psychological as-sessment tool for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods The CHFSII-WS was tested in 300 pa-tients with type 2 diabetes mellitus for measuring the scale's reliability and validity. Results The item-level content validity index (I-CVI) of the CHFSII-WS was 0.78~1.00, the scale-level content validity index (S-CVI) was 0.928. Through the exploratory factor analysis two factors were extracted which accounted for 52.959% of the total variance. The test-retested reliability of the CHFSII-WS was 0.911, Cronbach'α coef-ficient was 0.904. Conclusions The CHFSII-WS has excellent reliability and validity, which can be used as a valid tool for type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in China.
