Mcgill Empowerment Assessment-Diabetes Questionnaire: Turkish Validity and Reliability Study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Aim: The present study aimed to examine the Turkish validity and reliability of the McGill Empowerment Assessment-Diabetes (MEA-D) Questionnaire in individuals with diabetes. Material and Method: The present study was conducted in methodological design. This methodological study was conducted on 300 individuals diagnosed with diabetes. Personal information form and MEA-D were used to collect the data. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, Cronbach’s alpha, item-total score correlation, and test-retest analysis were used to evaluate the data collected. Results: Factor loads of items were between 0.64-0.92. Fit index values were x²/SD 1.90, CFI = 0.97, NFI = 0.92, IFI = 0.96, TLI = 0.95 RMSEA = 0.078, RMR = 0.07, and SRMR = 0.08. Sub-dimensions had Cronbach’s Alpha values between 0.92 and 0.98, while total Cronbach’s alpha value was 0.96. It was concluded that the Turkish version of the 28-item and 4 sub-dimension questionnaire was confirmed with no changes to the original form. Conclusion: Turkish version of the MEA-D is a valid and reliable tool for evaluating the empowerment status of individuals diagnosed with diabetes and for being used in clinical settings.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
