Key result
Turkish Multidimensional Outcome Expectations for Exercise Scale demonstrates excellent ~0.92 reliability in CVD patients.
Why the study?
Outcome expectations significantly influence exercise behaviors, but a validated Turkish version of the Multidimensional Outcome Expectations for Exercise Scale was needed for adults with cardiovascular disease.
Is the Turkish version of the Multidimensional Outcome Expectations for Exercise Scale (MOEES) a valid and reliable tool for evaluating exercise outcome expectations in patients with cardiovascular disease?
Cross-Sectional (n=150)
No
Is the Turkish version of the Multidimensional Outcome Expectations for Exercise Scale (MOEES) a valid and reliable tool for evaluating exercise outcome expectations in patients with cardiovascular disease?
Effect estimate: Cronbach's Alpha 0.919
The Turkish version of the Multidimensional Outcome Expectations for Exercise Scale (MOEES) is a valid and reliable tool for assessing physical, social, and self-evaluative outcome expectations regarding exercise in patients with cardiovascular disease.
May support Turkish MOEES use for exercise expectation assessment in CVD; extends validation but leaves predictive utility open.
Outcome expectations are a multidimensional construct encompassing physical, social, and self-evaluative components, significantly influencing adults’ exercise behaviors. The study aimed to develop and validate a Turkish version of the ‘Multidimensional Outcome Expectations for Exercise Scale’ (MOEES) and assess its reliability in adults with cardiovascular disease (CVD). This cross-sectional validation included 150 participants. The MOEES was translated into Turkish, ensuring cultural and linguistic appropriateness, and reviewed by 15 healthcare professionals. Participants’ demographic data were collected, and they completed the MOEES, International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), and Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia-Heart (TSK-H) twice, 15 days apart. The internal consistency of the MOEES was excellent, with a Cronbach’s Alpha of 0.919. Test-retest reliability showed high intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) for the physical (0.924), self-evaluative (0.921), and social (0.929) subscales. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) indicated an excellent fit (X2/df = 1.782, GFI = 0.908, AGFI = 0.856, CFI = 0.962, RMSEA = 0.072, NFI = 0.918, SRMR = 0.052). Strong correlations were found between MOEES sub-dimensions and IPAQ total and TSK-H scores (p < 0.01), confirming the scale’s validity. The Turkish MOEES is a reliable tool for evaluating physical, social, and self-evaluative outcome expectations regarding exercise in CVD patients, making it suitable for clinical and research applications.

Arslan et al. (2025) conducted a cross-sectional in Cardiovascular disease (n=150). Turkish version of the Multidimensional Outcome Expectations for Exercise Scale (MOEES) was evaluated on Internal consistency (Cronbach's Alpha) (Cronbach's Alpha 0.919). The Turkish version of the Multidimensional Outcome Expectations for Exercise Scale demonstrated excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's Alpha 0.919) and high test-retest reliability in patients with cardiovascular disease.
