Adapting to chronic disease is a complex process influenced by psychosocial factors. Considering the rather limited time of medical consultations, it would be beneficial to have instruments that evaluate these psychosocial factors quickly and easily, allowing the identification of potential focuses of intervention. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the psychometric properties of a questionnaire that assesses coping with chronic illness, social support and eating behavior in people with diabetes and/or hypertension. METHODS: The questionnaire is composed of a set of 25 items generated by both the authors and existing questionnaires. The subjects for this study are 216 diabetes and/or hypertension patients, who joined a remote monitoring program for these pathologies. The analysis considered parallel analyzes for the number of factors, factorial analysis (principal axis), reliability and multiple linear or logistic regression with data reported by the patients (for example, HbA1c) as well as and observable data obtained with a telemonitoring program (biochemical glycemia data and/or blood pressure and adherence to the program). RESULTS: Five factors were identified: active, avoidance and passive resignation coping, overfeeding and social support. Factors presented a reliability of .54 to .91. Coping strategies were associated with adherence to treatments and pathology severity. CONCLUSIONS: Results suggest the questionnaire has acceptable psychometrical properties, allowing the identification of psychosocial aspects that influence the management and prognosis of the pathology.
