Key result
The revised Cardiac Rehabilitation Barriers Scale (CRBS-R) demonstrated strong internal reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.82) and validity for identifying barriers to cardiac rehabilitation.
Why the study?
Measurement properties of the revised English Cardiac Rehabilitation Barriers Scale (CRBS-R), adapted for hybrid delivery, required evaluation across validity and reliability domains.
Is the revised Cardiac Rehabilitation Barriers Scale (CRBS-R) a valid and reliable tool for assessing barriers to hybrid cardiac rehabilitation?
Population
235 inpatients or outpatients with a cardiovascular diagnosis or procedure indicated for CR across all 6 WHO regions
Design
Multicentre cross-sectional study

Is the revised Cardiac Rehabilitation Barriers Scale (CRBS-R) a valid and reliable tool for assessing barriers to hybrid cardiac rehabilitation?
The CRBS-R is a valid and reliable 21-item tool for identifying patient barriers to cardiac rehabilitation across diverse global settings.
Grace et al. (2024) conducted a cross-sectional in Cardiovascular diagnosis or procedure indicated for cardiac rehabilitation (n=235). Cardiac Rehabilitation Barriers Scale Revised (CRBS-R) was evaluated on Psychometric validation including structural validity, internal reliability, face, cross-cultural, construct and criterion validity. The revised Cardiac Rehabilitation Barriers Scale (CRBS-R) demonstrated strong internal reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.82) and validity for identifying barriers to cardiac rehabilitation.
