Diabetes Health profile (DHP)
Description
The DHP is a multidimensional patient self-completion diabetes-specific inventory designed to identify
psychosocial dysfunction among adult insulin dependent and insulin requiring patients. Factor
analyses have suggested that responses to DHP items depend on three latent variables representing
Psychological distress, Barriers to Activity and Disinhibited eating. Chwalow et.al (2007) describe
a randomized study of the quality of life of type 2 diabetic patients.
Usage
data(DHP)
Format
A data frame with 185 rows and 8 variables.
The Disinhibited eating (DE) subscale summarizing responses to the
following five questions with four ordinal response categories that were coded in such a way that 0
represents no dysfunction and 3 represents a high degree of dysfunction:
- A: DHP32
Do you wish there were not so many things to eat?
Responses: a) “Not at all”, b) “A little”, c) “A lot”, d) “Very much”
- B: DHP34
How likely are you to eat something extra when you feel bored or fed up?
Responses: a) “Not at all likely”, b) “Not very likely”, c) “Quite likely”, d) “Very likely”
- C: DHP36
When you start eating, how easy do you find it to stop?
Responses: a) “Very easy”, b) “Quite easy”, c) “Not very easy”, d) “Not at all easy”
- D: DHP38
Do you have problems keeping to you diet because you eat to cheer yourself up?
Responses: a) “Never”, b) “Sometimes”, c) “Usually”, d) “Always”
- E: DHP39
Do you have problems keeping to your diet because you find it hard saying no to food
you like?
Responses: a) “Never”, b) “Sometimes”, c) “Usually”, d) “Always”
In addition to the items, the DHP project also includes information on sex and age.
Value
DHP is an object of class digram.object.
