Abstract
Evaluating the quality of life in patients with neuropathy is crucial in clinical assessment and informed therapeutic decision-making. This study aims to assess the validity and reliability of the Neuropathy Short Form-11 (NSF-11) quality of life questionnaire for patients with neuropathy at the Sebengkok Tarakan Health Center. This study involved 30 diabetic patients who met the inclusion criteria and received therapy with oral antidiabetic medications. The validity of the questionnaire was assessed using Pearson correlation analysis to evaluate the relationship between each item and the total score, while its reliability was evaluated using Cronbach's Alpha. The validity test results showed that all questionnaire items had a significant correlation (r = 0.536 to 0.699, p ≤ 0.002), indicating that this questionnaire could effectively measure quality of life. The reliability test yielded a Cronbach's Alpha value of 0.820, indicating that the instrument demonstrated good internal consistency. Thus, this questionnaire was found to be valid and reliable in assessing the quality of life in patients with diabetic neuropathy.
