Abstract：
Effective healthcare currently incorporates a patient-centric system and accessible technology for patient self-management. This study aimed to develop and validate a novel questionnaire titled the Digital Tool Use Questionnaire for Diabetes (DTUQ-D) - a screening tool identifying the type, number, and frequency of digital tools used by Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients with within HMOs, online, and via applications.
The questionnaire was administered to two ethnic groups and both genders. A mixed-methods approach was used. In the qualitative phase, the questionnaire was developed through phone surveys of 29 T2DM patients, two endocrinologists and two technology experts. In the quantitative phase, involving 367 participants, convergent validity, construct validity, and reliability were examined.
Findings indicated that the DTUQ-D is valid and reliable, successfully identifying digital tools utilized by T2DM patients, notwithstanding variations in factor structures between ethnic groups. This questionnaire provides a foundation for future research, offering a standardized approach to evaluating digital tool usage.
The study enhances understanding of the role of digital tools in healthcare, especially for T2DM self-management. It also can be easily adapted to assess digital tool use for other illnesses by adjusting instructions and the wording of certain items.

摘要：
■有效的医疗保健目前包含以患者为中心的系统和用于患者自我管理的可访问技术。这项研究旨在开发和验证一种名为“糖尿病数字工具使用问卷”（DTUQ-D）的新问卷-一种识别类型的筛查工具，number,以及2型糖尿病（T2DM）患者在HMO内使用的数字工具的频率，在线,通过应用程序。
■问卷是针对两个种族和两个性别的。使用了混合方法方法。在定性阶段,问卷是通过对29名T2DM患者的电话调查开发的，两位内分泌学家和两位技术专家.在定量阶段,涉及367名参与者，收敛有效性，构造效度，和可靠性进行了检查。
■研究结果表明DTUQ-D是有效和可靠的，成功识别T2DM患者使用的数字工具，尽管种族群体之间的要素结构有所不同。这份问卷为未来的研究奠定了基础，提供一种标准化的方法来评估数字工具的使用情况。
■这项研究增强了对数字工具在医疗保健中的作用的理解，尤其是T2DM的自我管理。通过调整说明和某些项目的措辞，它也可以很容易地适应评估数字工具对其他疾病的使用。
