Psychometric evaluation of the cardiac rehabilitation adherence scale in patients with coronary heart disease: an observational study.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2025. 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
Background: Cardiac rehabilitation has showed the potential to improve health outcomes of patients with coronary heart disease. However, the adherence of patients participating in cardiac rehabilitation is unsatisfactory due to some barriers. The quantitative instrument for measuring cardiac rehabilitation adherence is scarce. Hence, the purpose of this study was to develop a scientific tool and assess its psychometric properties in patients with coronary heart disease. Material and Methods: The psychometric properties of the revised scale were tested with 509 patients. Item analysis was conducted to evaluate the discrimination and homogeneity of the scale. Content validity was evaluated by content validity index and Exploratory factor analyses and confirmatory factor analyses were used to examine the factor structure of the scale. Reliability was evaluated by Cronbach's coefficients and split-half reliability coefficients. Results: A scale covering five dimensions and thirty-three items was developed for evaluating cardiac rehabilitation adherence. The content validity index of the scale was 0.96. In exploratory factor analysis, a five-factor structure model was confirmed, explaining 71.255% of the total variation. In confirmatory factor analysis, the five- factor structure was supported by appropriate fitting indexes. In terms of reliability, the Cronbach's Conclusion: The newly developed self-completion scale is reliable and valid. It appears to be a sound instrument for nurses and a broader range of healthcare professionals to effectively evaluate the cardiac rehabilitation adherence.
