Objective To translate the diabetic foot selfcare questionnaire of the University of Malaga （DFSQUMA） into Chinese, and to test its reliability and validity. Methods The DFSQUMA was translated into Chinese according to crosscultural translation principles. Then expert consultation and survey with 193 diabetic patients were conducted. Results The Chinese version retained 16 items of the original questionnaire, with the item content validity index (CVI) of 0.833-1.000 and the scale CVI of 0.938. Three factors were identified through exploratory factor analysis, accounting for 68.8% of the total variance. The Cronbach′s alpha coefficient was 0.873 and testretest coefficient was 0.832. Conclusion The Chinese version of the DFSQUMA has high reliability and validity, which can be used to assess foot care behavior of diabetic patients.
