Artificial Intelligence-Supported Mobile Application For Diabetes Self-Management

Diabetes Self-Management Scale (DSMS): This scale was used to measure the behavioral component of individuals in the IMB model. This scale was developed by Schmitt et al. (2013) to examine the relationship between diabetes self-management and glycemic control in diabetic patients (Schmitt et al., 2013). The validity and reliability study of the Turkish Diabetes Self-Management Scale (DSMS) was conducted by Eroğlu and Sabuncu (2018) (Eroğlu and Sabuncu, 2018). The scale consists of 16 items and 4 sub-dimensions and is a 4-point Likert-type. The scale is answered as 3. It suits me very much, 2. It suits me a lot, 1. It suits me a little, 0. It does not suit me at all. Glucose Management subdimension: Items 1, 4, 6, 10, 12 (Items 4 and 12 are about medication use, items 1, 6, and 10 are about blood sugar monitoring). Diet Control subdimension: Items 2, 5, 9, 13. Physical Activity subdimension: Items 8, 11, 15. Use of Health Services subdimension: Items 3, 7, and 14. Item 16 is not includ

Adult diabetes knowledge scale (ADSL): This scale was developed by Erenel Yavuz and Erol (2022) to measure the knowledge levels of adult individuals with diabetes (Erenel Yavuz and Erol, 2022). The scale consists of 5 sub-dimensions and 28 items: General Information About Diabetes (6 items), Blood Sugar Measurements and Values (5 items), Diabetes Risk Factors (4 items), Diabetes Symptoms (8 items), Diabetes Complications (5 items). The scale consists of two sets of items as true and false. Those who answer correctly in the yes/no/I don't know answer type questions are given 1 point, and those who don't know and those who answer incorrectly are given 0 points. The maximum score that can be obtained from the scale is 28, and the minimum score is 0. The Kuder-Richardson-20 reliability coefficient for the entire scale was found to be 0.94. Alpha values in the sub-dimensions are; General Information About Diabetes was found as 0.78, Blood Sugar Measurements and Values as 0.85, Diabet

Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) The MMAS-8 scale consists of 8 items. Each of the first 7 items has 2 possible responses (yes/no), while the 8th item is answered with a 5-point Likert scale. The possible total medication adherence score ranges between 0 and 8, and the higher the score, the better the adherence level. A total score < 6 is considered low adherence, while a total score of ≥ 6 but < 8 indicates moderate adherence, and a score of 8 indicates high adherence.
