%X Background: This study was carried out in a methodological manner for determining the validity and reliability of the Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire (DSMQ) by adopting it to the Turkish society. Methods: The study was carried out at the endocrinology polyclinic of the Private Anadolu Health Center Hospital and Private Anadolu Health Ata£¿ehir Medical Center during the dates of July 2016-September 2016 with a sample group comprised of type-2 diabetes patients complying with the sample selection criteria. The sample group was comprised of n=189 patients which is more than 10 times the number of items in the scale (16 items) in order to attain the validity and reliability of the Diabetes self-management Questionnaire (DSMQ). Diabetes self-management Questionnaire was comprised of 16 items and 4 subdimensions as Glucose Management, Diet Control, Physical Activity, and Healthcare Use. The 16th item was not included in any of the sub-dimensions and was evaluated using a 4-item Likert type scale. Results: DSMQ validity was assessed by language validity, construct validity (DFA) and coverage validity. Cronbach¡¯s Alpha was calculated as 0.85 for the internal consistency analysis of DSMQ regarding its reliability which was quite high . The scale was applied on 40 patients with 2 patient intervals for Test-Re-Test Reliability, Inter Class Coefficient (ICC) was calculated and no difference was determined between the two applications. Conclusion: DSMQ that has been adopted into Turkish for use on diabetic patients is a valid and reliable tool. It is suggested to use it on different groups and cultures in order to increase the evidence value
