Key result
The Malay-version Cardiac Rehabilitation Barriers Scale was found to be a valid and reliable instrument, demonstrating a content validity index of 1.00 and Cronbach's alphas ranging from 0.74 to 0.81.
Why the study?
Cardiac rehabilitation attendance at Sarawak Heart Centre was very low for unknown reasons, creating a need for a scale to identify barriers among patients with heart disease in Sarawak, Malaysia.

Is the Malay-version Cardiac Rehabilitation Barriers Scale a valid and reliable instrument for identifying barriers to participation in cardiac rehabilitation?
The Malay-version Cardiac Rehabilitation Barriers Scale is a valid and reliable instrument for identifying barriers to cardiac rehabilitation participation in Malaysia.
Chai et al. (2019) conducted a cross-sectional in Heart disease eligible for cardiac rehabilitation (n=283). Malay-version Cardiac Rehabilitation Barriers Scale (CRBS) was evaluated on Psychometric properties (validity and reliability) of the Malay-version CRBS. The Malay-version Cardiac Rehabilitation Barriers Scale was found to be a valid and reliable instrument, demonstrating a content validity index of 1.00 and Cronbach's alphas ranging from 0.74 to 0.81.
