Implication

Cross-sectional study validates the Brazilian EPAD, assessing exercise perceptions in dialysis patients, suggesting its use in rehabilitation.

Key Points

  • This study aims to translate and validate the Brazilian version of the Dialysis Patient-Perceived Exercise Benefits and Barriers Scale.
  • Cross-sectional study conducted according to COSMIN guidelines with 112 adults on dialysis
  • Participants completed the DPEBBS, SF-36, and underwent anthropometric evaluation
  • Assessments included reliability, internal consistency, and construct validity over a one-week interval.
  • High test-retest reliability with consistent mean scores
  • Internal consistency coefficient α = 0.885 and ICC = 0.794, indicating strong reliability
  • Convergent validity with SF-36 Physical Functioning domain showed weak but significant correlation (r = -0.326, p = 0.001).
