简要总结
Early assessment of kinesiophobia in cardiovascular disease patients is essential. However, measurement tools are scarce for assessing activity fear in cardiovascular disease patients domestically. Currently, the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia for the Heart, developed by Bäck et al. (2012), is the most commonly used scale for measuring kinesiophobia among cardiovascular disease patients. As there is no tool available domestically to measure kinesiophobia in cardiovascular disease patients, this research aims to translate, revise, and establish the Taiwanese version of the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia for Heart and subsequently verify its reliability and validity for clinical assessment of kinesiophobia among cardiovascular disease patients.
The methodology involves following the translation model by Jones et al. (2001) to translate the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia for Heart from the English version to the Taiwan version. Structured questionnaires, including demographic and disease-related information, the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia for Heart Taiwan Version, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, the Six-Minute Walk Test, the Taiwan version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire-BREF, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and the Pain Catastrophizing Scale will be used at the cardiological outpatient clinic and inpatient ward of a medical center in Central Taiwan. Patients meeting the study's inclusion criteria and consent to participate in this study will be interviewed. Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia for Heart Taiwan Version will be examined for content validity, construct validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability.
详细描述
Cardiovascular disease patients may avoid physical activity or exercise due to concerns that engaging in physical activities might exacerbate their heart condition or lead to injury. Interpretation of potential injury as a threat can induce kinesiophobia (fear of movement), causing patients to avoid physical activities, which could negatively impact both their physiological and psychological well-being. Previous research indicates a high prevalence of kinesiophobia among cardiovascular disease patients, and this fear negatively affects their physical activity performance, unwillingness to engage in cardiac rehabilitation, and worse quality of life. Therefore, early assessment of kinesiophobia in cardiovascular disease patients is essential. However, measurement tools are scarce for assessing activity fear in cardiovascular disease patients domestically. Currently, the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia for the Heart, developed by Bäck et al. (2012), is the most commonly used scale for measuring kinesiophobia among cardiovascular disease patients. As there is no tool available domestically to measure kinesiophobia in cardiovascular disease patients, this research aims to translate, revise, and establish the Taiwanese version of the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia for Heart and subsequently verify its reliability and validity for clinical assessment of kinesiophobia among cardiovascular disease patients.
The objective of this study is to translate, revise, and establish the Taiwanese version of the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia for Heart and conduct reliability and validity verification.
The methodology involves following the translation model by Jones et al. (2001) to translate the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia for Heart from the English version to the Taiwan version. A longitudinal study design will verify the validity and reliability of the Taiwan version of the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia for Heart. Structured questionnaires, including demographic and disease-related information, the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia for Heart Taiwan Version, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, the Six-Minute Walk Test, the Taiwan version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire-BREF, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and the Pain Catastrophizing Scale will be used at the cardiological outpatient clinic and inpatient ward of a medical center in Central Taiwan. Patients meeting the study's inclusion criteria and consent to participate in this study will be interviewed. Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia for Heart Taiwan Version will be examined for content validity, construct validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability. The collected data will be analyzed using SPSS/PC version 22.0, and statistical methods such as frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, reliability analysis, Pearson correlation, and exploratory factor analysis will be used.
This study aims to translate, revise, and establish the Taiwanese version of the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia for Heart and verify its reliability and validity for clinical assessment of Kinesiophobia among cardiovascular disease patients. It also aims to provide insight for future clinical research to analyze related factors further and develop intervention strategies, ultimately enhancing physical activity performance and quality of life and engaging in cardiac rehabilitation for cardiovascular disease patients.

结局指标
主要结局
Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia for Heart
时间窗: baseline and at the end of the third month
This scale, developed by Bäck et al. (2012), assesses fear of movement in patients with coronary artery disease. It comprises four dimensions: exercise avoidance, fear of injury, dysfunctional self-perception, and perceived risk of heart problems, with 17 items. Each item is scored on a 4-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree to 4 = strongly agree), and items 4, 8, 12, and 16 are reverse scored. The total score ranges from 17 to 68, with higher scores indicating greater fear of movement. A TSK Heart score below 37 indicates a low fear of movement, while a score of 37 or higher indicates a high fear of movement. The scale's intra-class correlation coefficient is 0.83, and its internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) is 0.78 (Bäck et al., 2012).
