Background and aims: The level of subjectively experienced Diabetes Distress has an impact on the diabetes management and treatment outcomes. Howerer, there are more psychosocial factors other than DD which could also increase the experienced burden. An example could be the lack of ability to regulate emotions or to regulate negative emotional experiences which is one of the personality traits. Personality traits are also discussed in the association of treatment outcomes or adherence to the diabetes mellitus treatment. The level of Diabetes Distress (DD) captured with a Czech version of the Diabetes Distress Scale (DDS) is observed through the prism of the DSM-5 personality traits according to the Alternative model for personality disorders (AMPD). Materials and methods: The sample comprised 358 participants with diabetes mellitus (DM) (56.2% female, age M = 42.33, SD = 14.33 years). The subjects have completed both the Czech version of the DDS and the shortened 160-item version of the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5). The association between the DDS and PID-5 was analyzed with multiple regressions. The DDS psychometric properties were analyzed in a structural equation modeling framework with a set of confirmatory factor analyses. Results: Our findings in the matter of the relationship between the levels of DD and personality traits suggest a high association between the PID-5 Negative Affectivity domain and the Emotional burden DDS subscale (β = .852, pHolm < .001), and also between Negative Affectivity and the Regimen Distress DDS subscale (β = .435, pHolm = .006). Furthermore, the Czech version of the DDS showed satisfactory psychometric properties in its factor structure, internal consistency, and measurement invariance between genders and across age. The McDonald’s omega values of subscales varied from .81 in case of Regimen distress up to .92 in case of Emotional distress. Conclusion: Several specific personality traits according to the AMPD deserve attention in the relation of the subjectively experienced levels of DD. The level of Negative affectivity among the patients with DM could affect their emotional burden level and perception of regimen distress. The DDS is a reliable scale for measuring DD in terms of research and clinical practice within Czech samples.
