18. Introduction
Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs when the pancreas is no longer able to make insulin, or when the body cannot make good use of the insulin it produces.

19. Aim
To evaluate;
in patients with type 2 diabetes in Turkey
as measures of diabetes-related psychosocial symptoms
the psychometric properties of the Diabetes Distress Scale

20. Methods
This research was carried out on 170 patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes
Department of Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases of a university hospital in Turkey
September 15, 2016 and January 15, 2017

21. Methods
Personal information forms developed by the researchers and the Diabetes Distress Scale were used as the data tools
The informed consent was obtained from the patients
Descriptive statistics, parametric and nonparametric tests and exploratory factor analysis were used in data analysis

The KMO measure of sampling adequacy was 0.884, exceeding the recommended value of 0.6 and Bartlett’s test of sphericity reached significance (P < 0.001) suggesting adequate sample size and factorability of the correlation matrix. Based on these findings, it was concluded that the dataset was suitable for EFA to identify underlying components.

The sixth item of the scale was removed by the expert's recommendation because it was lower than 40%.
The exploratory factor analyses yielded a 16 item measure with a three factor solution.

The internal consistency of each scale was estimated by Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for the DSC-R was In addition, all of the subscales surpassed the 0.90 threshold for acceptable internal consistency reliability (α = 0.92–0.96).

32. Conclusion
The Turkish version of the Diabetes Distress Scale was found to be a reliable and valid means to measure diabetes-related psychosocial symptoms in patients with type 2 diabetes.
