Abstract：Objective:To test the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of The Diabetes and Smoking Be-liefs(DSB)Scale.Methods:After translated and revised the Chinese version of DSB scale,it has applied in 2 1 2 hospitalzed and outpatient smoking diabetes patients to test its reliability and validity.Results:The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed that the RMSEA was 0.075 3.The normalized fitting index(NFI)was 0.877. And the goodness of fit index(GFI)was 0.892.The total scale was extracted 4 common factors by exploratory factor analysis,which can explain 65.106% variance of the total variance.There were statistically significant differences(P<0.05)between the total score of patients with and without smoking cessation,smoking with dia-betes treatment and smoking control with diabetes control subscale scores.There was no significant difference (P>0.05)on scores of smoking cessation and weight gain between the two groups.The correlation analysis showed that the total and subscales were negatively correlated with the diabetes health belief scale(P<0.01). The Pearson correlation coefficients of each item score and total score were 0.382 0.592 (P<0.001).The Cronbach’sαcoefficient of the total scale and its three subscales were 0.770,0.805,0.810,and 0.837 respec-tively.Conclusions:The Chinese Version of Diabetes and Smoking Belief Scale has good reliability and validity. And it is suitable for use in smoking diabetic patients in China.
