Quality of life is assessed by various standardised quality of life instruments, which make data comparisons possible. In Turkey, there are no adequate substitutes for diabetes-related scales used in other countries to measure the effects of diabetes on children quality of life. Because of this shortcoming in the field, the present methodological study was conducted to investigate the validity, reliability and other psychometric properties of a Turkish version of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (TM) 3.0 Diabetes Module-Parent Report for Children 8-12. The study sample consisted of 111 parents. Data were statistically analysed by frequency counts, percentages and content analysis index, factor analysis, and the Cronbach alpha.
