Validation of the Arabic Version of the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities Scale Among Type 2 Diabetes Patients in Saudi Arabia

The Arabic version of the SDSCA scale is a reliable and valid tool for assessing self-care activities in type 2 diabetes patients in Saudi Arabia, especially in general diet, exercise, and blood sugar testing; however, additional modifications are required to increase the reliability of specific diet domains. This validated scale can be successfully used in clinical and research settings to monitor and enhance the self-care behaviors of Arabic-speaking diabetic patients.
