Abstract:

Objective To develop an exercise compliance scale for patients with chronic heart failure and examine its reliability and validity. Methods Based on the theory of planned behavior,the scale framework was drafted,and the item pool of the scale was preliminarily constructed through literature review and semi-structured interview. The initial scale was formed through expert letter consultation. A total of 342 patients with chronic heart failure were conveniently selected for investigation to test the reliability and validity of the scale. Results The Exercise Adherence Scale for Patients with Chronic Heart Failure consisted of four dimensions with 30 items (cumulative variance contribution of 66.198%). The total scale has an entry-level validity of 0.800—1.000,and a scale-level validity of 0.948. For reliability,the Cronbach’s α coefficient is 0.947,and the 2-week retest reliability was 0.943. Conclusion The exercise compliance scale for patients with chronic heart failure has good reliability and validity,and can be used to evaluate the exercise compliance level of patients with chronic heart failure.
