Key result
The Korean version of the INCR scale demonstrated high content validity (average CVI 0.93), internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha 0.89), and test-retest reliability (ICC 0.95).
Why the study?
The study was conducted to verify and adapt the Information Needs in Cardiac Rehabilitation (INCR) scale for use in Korea by conforming to Korean culture and language.

Is the Korean version of the Information Needs in Cardiac Rehabilitation (INCR) scale a reliable and valid tool for assessing patient education needs?
The Korean version of the INCR scale is a highly reliable and valid tool for assessing the educational needs and preferences of patients participating in cardiac rehabilitation in Korea.
Supports Korean INCR scale for assessing cardiac rehab education needs; leaves open impact on outcomes pending prospective studies.
The Cardiac Rehabilitation scale (INCR scale) is a verified measure worldwide. The scale measures the extent to which cardiac rehabilitation meets the various needs of the participating patients and determines how education related to heart disease and rehabilitation satisfies their preferences. The current study applied the INCR scale to verify and develop it for use in Korea by conforming to Korean culture and language. Methods: The Korean version of the INCR scale was created after a six-step process in accordance with the international questionnaire translation law. The Korean version of the INCR scale was assessed in 45 cardiac rehabilitation patients (29 males, 16 females). Internal consistency was verified using Cronbach's alpha. Test-re-test reliability and interrater reliability were verified using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Content validity was selected to verify the validity.

Choi et al. (2022) conducted a cross-sectional in Cardiovascular disease requiring cardiac rehabilitation (n=45). Korean version of the Information Needs in Cardiac Rehabilitation (INCR) scale was evaluated on Reliability and validity (Content Validity Index, Cronbach's alpha, Intraclass Correlation Coefficient). The Korean version of the INCR scale demonstrated high content validity (average CVI 0.93), internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha 0.89), and test-retest reliability (ICC 0.95).
