Key result
The Chinese/Mandarin Cardiac Rehabilitation Barriers Scale is a reliable and valid tool, with mean scores significantly lower in patients participating in cardiac rehabilitation compared to non-participants (2.35 vs 3.08; p<0.001).
Why the study?
Cardiac rehabilitation mitigates cardiovascular disease burden but utilization is low, and cardiac rehabilitation barriers in China have not been well characterized.
Population
380 cardiac patients from 11 hospitals in Shanghai
Design
Translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and psychometric validation survey study

Provides validated barrier assessment for Mandarin-speaking cardiac patients; leaves open whether scale use improves rehabilitation participation.
Cross-Sectional (n=380)
Yes
Absolute Event Rate: 2.35% vs 3.08%
p-value: p=<0.001
The Chinese/Mandarin version of the Cardiac Rehabilitation Barriers Scale is a reliable and valid tool for identifying and mitigating barriers to cardiac rehabilitation in Mandarin-speaking patients.
Liu et al. (2021) conducted a cross-sectional in Cardiovascular disease (n=380). Cardiac rehabilitation participation vs. No cardiac rehabilitation participation was evaluated on Mean total Cardiac Rehabilitation Barriers Scale (CRBS) score for criterion validity (p=<0.001). The Chinese/Mandarin Cardiac Rehabilitation Barriers Scale is a reliable and valid tool, with mean scores significantly lower in patients participating in cardiac rehabilitation compared to non-participants (2.35 vs 3.08; p<0.001).
