Brief Summary

The objective of this research is to translate the Tele-Pulmonary Rehabilitation Acceptance Scale into Turkish and assess its reliability and accuracy.

Detailed Description

The use of telehealth in pulmonary rehabilitation, also known as telerehabilitation, is a novel approach in healthcare practice. In order to effectively implement telerehabilitation programs, it is important to evaluate how potential users perceive and accept this new type of program. Thus, the aim of this research was to create a measuring tool that could assess the level of acceptance of telerehabilitation among healthcare providers and patients. A group of experts in pulmonary rehabilitation, telehealth, information technology, and scale development have reviewed and confirmed the content validity of the Tele-Pulmonary Rehabilitation Acceptance Scale. This scale is significant because it offers a consistent means of collecting data to measure the level of acceptance towards telerehabilitation among potential users. This study aims to translate and show the consistency and validity of the Tele-Pulmonary Rehabilitation Acceptance Scale in Turkish.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Tele-Pulmonary Rehabilitation Acceptance Scale	1 day	The primary outcome is the overall validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Tele-Pulmonary Rehabilitation Acceptance Scale. This scale is a Likert scale with a total of 13 questions and the score for each question ranges from 1 to 4. The total score is 52 and higher scores indicate that the patient is more inclined to adopt telerehabilitation. This will involve analyzing the responses of participants to the questionnaire to determine if it accurately measures the intended construct. The study will also assess the internal consistency of the responses to determine if the scale produces consistent results when administered multiple times to the same group of patients.
