AIM: To translate and test the psychometric properties of a Chinese version scale to measure the Fear of Activity in patients with Coronary Artery Disease. DESIGN: A cross-sectional design. METHODS: The translation of the scale to measure Fear of Activity in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease included three steps, forward-back translation, expert discussion and pilot survey. The internal consistency and test-retest reliability were used to assess the reliability of the Chinese version scale of the Fear of Activity. Content, construct, criterion, and known-group validity of the scale were also evaluated. DATA SOURCES: A total of 275 patients with Coronary Artery Disease were recruited from a university-affiliated hospital in Guangzhou, southern China. RESULTS: The overall content validity index of the Chinese version scale of the Fear of Activity in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease was 0.90. Principal component analyses extracted four factors with a cumulative variance contribution of 57.5%. There is a strong correlation (r = 0.83) between this scale and Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia Heart. The total scores of the Chinese version scale of the Fear of Activity in female patients were higher than those in male patients with Coronary Artery Disease, indicating that the scale was able to distinguish the differences between low and high score groups. The Internal consistency and test-retest reliability coefficients of the scale were 0.74 and 0.82, respectively. CONCLUSION: ...
