Key result
The Arabic Cardiac Self-Efficacy Questionnaire demonstrated a three-factor high-order structure, clear face validity, very good content validity, and good reliability (ranging from 0.89 to 0.93).
Why the study?
The study was conducted to cross-culturally translate and adapt the Cardiac Self-Efficacy Questionnaire into Arabic and evaluate the psychometric properties of that translation in Arabic patients.
Cross-Sectional (n=268)

The Arabic Cardiac Self-Efficacy Questionnaire is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing cardiac self-efficacy in Arabic-speaking patients with coronary heart disease.
Supports Arabic CHD self-efficacy assessment; leaves open prognostic utility and outcome impact.
AIM: The aim of this study is to cross-culturally translate and adapt the Cardiac Self-Efficacy Questionnaire into Arabic and subsequently evaluate the psychometric properties of that translation in a population of Arabic patients. METHOD: The original English version of the Cardiac Self-Efficacy Questionnaire was translated into Arabic following a process recommended by the World Health Organization. A convenience sample consisting of 268 Jordanian patients with coronary heart disease was recruited from a university-affiliated hospital in Amman, Jordan. Data were collected from October 2018 to March 2019. The factor structure, face and content validities, and internal consistency of the Arabic Cardiac Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (A-CSEQ) were evaluated. RESULTS: The factor structure analysis supported a three-factor high-order structure of the A-CSEQ. Face validity showed that the language used, style, and format were clear. The content validity demonstrated a very good content validity index. The reliability was good with ranging from 0.89 to 0.93 for all questionnaire subscales. CONCLUSION: The A-CSEQ is a valid and reliable instrument to assess the cardiac self-efficacy of Arabic patients diagnosed with coronary heart disease. Further assessment of the psychometric properties of the A-CSEQ with different cardiac problems is now recommended.

Shajrawi et al. (2020) conducted a cross-sectional in Coronary heart disease (n=268). Arabic Cardiac Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (A-CSEQ) was evaluated on Psychometric properties (factor structure, face and content validities, and internal consistency). The Arabic Cardiac Self-Efficacy Questionnaire demonstrated a three-factor high-order structure, clear face validity, very good content validity, and good reliability (ranging from 0.89 to 0.93).
