dc.description.abstractObjective: The aim of this study was to produce and validate a Turkish version of the University of Virginia Parent Low Blood SugarSurvey (P-LBSS). The P-LBSS is used to assess parental fear of their diabetic children’s hypoglycemia.Methods: Linguistic, content and face validity of the translated P-LBSS was tested. Afterwards, explanatory and confirmatory factoranalyses were conducted in order to evaluate construct validity.Results: The sample included 390 parents of type 1 diabetic adolescents aged 12-17 years. Results of the factor analysis showed thatthe Turkish P-LBSS had 2 subscales (behavior and worry) as in the original. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of the Turkish version ofthe total P-LBSS was found to be 0.803, and the value was 0.865 for the behavior and 0.790 for the worry subscales. Psychometricinvestigation of the Turkish version of P-LBSS indicated high reliability and good retestability, content and construct validity.Conclusion: The Turkish P-LBSS is a valid and reliable instrument to measure the fear of hypoglycemia experienced by parents ofdiabetic adolescents aged between 12-17 years in the Turkish population.
