Abstract
The purpose of this study was to validate the Cardiac Health Behavior Scale for Korean adults (CHB-K) to determine its validity and reliability.
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are one of the most important chronic diseases due to their high prevalence and mortality rates. Patients with cardiovascular risks or diseases need to perform appropriate cardiac health behaviors that help to prevent the progression of the disease and improve their health status.
This secondary analysis obtained data from two clinical trials of cardiac rehabilitation. Data from 298 patients with cardiovascular risks or diseases were analyzed for validation. Data analyses included correlation coefficients, t-tests, and exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses using SPSS (version WIN 22.0) and AMOS (version 20.0). The Self-Efficacy Scale was used to assess convergent validity, while reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha coefficients.
Five main factors were verified: health responsibility, physical activity, diet habit (eating habit and food choice), stress management, and smoking cessation. A set of 21 items from the 25-item scale was verified after performing item analysis, factor analyses, and critical evaluation of the statistical results. The 21-item CHB-K (CHB-K21) exhibited acceptable validity, and the model of the CHB-K21 provided a good fit to the data. Most of the factors were found to be moderately correlated with SES scores (r=0.45–0.52, p<0.001). The CHB-K21 also demonstrated acceptable reliability (Cronbach's alpha=0.83).
The CHB-K21 demonstrates strong validity and reliability. It can be used to assess cardiac health behaviors in Korean adults with cardiovascular risks or diseases.
Why is this research needed?•The cardiac health behavior scale (CHB-K) for Korean adults with cardiovascular risks has been developed, but psychometric properties have not been validated.
What are the key findings?•The Cardiac Health Behavior Scale for Korean Adults was validated to obtain validities and reliability.
How should the findings be used to influence policy/practice/research/education?•The CHB-K with 21 items would be useful to assess cardiac health behaviors of patients with cardiovascular risks or disease as a behavioral outcome of interventions by researchers and clinicians.
