Key result
The 18-item Persian version of the Cardiac Rehabilitation Barriers Scale demonstrated good structural validity, internal consistency (α=0.797), and test-retest reliability (ICC 0.743; 95% CI 0.502-0.868).
Why the study?
The study aimed to translate, cross-culturally adapt, and psychometrically validate a Persian version of the Cardiac Rehabilitation Barriers Scale (CRBS-P) and identify main barriers in Iran.

The Persian version of the Cardiac Rehabilitation Barriers Scale is a valid and reliable tool for identifying barriers to cardiac rehabilitation participation in Iranian patients.
Ghanbari-Firoozabadi et al. (2020) conducted a cross-sectional in Cardiac rehabilitation non-attendance (n=1,100). Persian version of the Cardiac Rehabilitation Barriers Scale (CRBS-P) was evaluated on Psychometric properties (structural validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability) (ICC 0.743, 95% CI 0.502 to 0.868). The 18-item Persian version of the Cardiac Rehabilitation Barriers Scale demonstrated good structural validity, internal consistency (α=0.797), and test-retest reliability (ICC 0.743; 95% CI 0.502-0.868).
