Psychometric validation of the Cardiac Rehabilitation Barriers Scale Revised (CRBS-R) for hybrid delivery.
Article in BMJ open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo test the measurement properties of the revised version of the English Cardiac Rehabilitation Barriers Scale (CRBS-R), suitable for hybrid delivery, structural validity, internal reliability, as well as face, cross-cultural, construct and criterion validity were assessed.
designCross-sectional study, where participants completed an online survey via Qualtrics (2023-2024).
settingMulticentre, with cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programmes recruiting patients globally; most patients stemmed from a hybrid programme in Iran and supervised programme in Brazil.
participantsParticipants include inpatients or outpatients with a cardiovascular diagnosis or procedure that is indicated for participation in CR. MEASURES: In addition to sociodemographic and CR use items, the 21-item CRBS-R was administered. It assesses multilevel barriers and was revised based on a literature review. Responses range from 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating greater barriers.
results235 patients participated from all 6 WHO regions. Items were rated as highly applicable, and open-ended responses revealing no key barriers were omitted, supporting face and cross-cultural validity. Cronbach's α for the total CRBS-R was 0.82. Principal components analysis resulted in the extraction of 4 components, which collectively accounted for 60.5% of the variance and were all internally consistent. Construct validity was supported by associations of total CRBS scores with work status (p=0.04), exercise history (p=0.01) and social support (p=0.03). Total CRBS-R scores were significantly lower in patients who were referred and enrolled versus those who were not (both p≤0.01), confirming criterion validity.
conclusionsThe CRBS-R is a reliable and valid scale comprising four subscales, applicable to hybrid CR across diverse settings. It can serve as a valuable tool to support identification of patient's CR barriers, to optimise secondary prevention utilisation globally.
