The objective of this study was to examine the reliability and validity of the Malay version of the 18-item Audit of Diabetes Dependent Quality of Life (the Malay ADDQOL). Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were systematically selected. The Malay ADDQOL linguistically validated from the 18-item English version ADDQOL was self-administered twice at a 1-week interval. Two hundred eighty-eight respondents were included in the study. Analysis involved checking the feasibility, floor and ceiling effects, internal consistency, test-retest reliability and factor analysis. Item means and standard deviations fulfilled the Likert scale assumptions. The Cronbach's alpha was 0.943 (lower bound of the 95% CI of 0.935) and the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.81 (95% CI from 0.72 to 0.87). Exploratory one factor analysis showed factor loadings above 0.5 for all the 18 items. The Malay ADDQOL has acceptable linguistic validity. It is feasible, has excellent reliability, content, construct validity, and is recommended to be used among Malay-speaking diabetic patients.

Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is an essential measure that is used to assess the effect of chronic disease management on the health status of an individual. Previous studies have identified various instruments used in the measuring of diabetes-specific health-related quality of life (HRQOL). The aim of this paper is to provide a systematic review of the various instruments used for the diabetes-specific measure of HRQOL, and place emphasis on its content and measurement properties.

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is notorious for its metabolic effect, acute and chronic complications and impact on Quality of Life (QoL). Successful intervention to improve QoL necessitates a valid and reliable measurement tool to identify areas of concern to patients with diabetes.
Objectives: To (1) assess the factor structure of the Malay Audit of Diabetes Dependent Quality of Life-18 (ADDQoL-18) questionnaire; (2) determine the impact of DM on QoL; and (3) identify areas of concern to patients with type 2 DM from three major ethnic groups in Malaysia.
