Yes
The Czech version of the EHFScBS-9 is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring self-care behavior in heart failure patients, facilitating its use in clinical practice and research.
Soósová et al. (2025) conducted a cross-sectional in Heart failure (n=130). Czech version of the EHFScBS-9 was evaluated on Validity and reliability (Confirmatory factor analysis and Cronbach's alpha). The Czech version of the EHFScBS-9 is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring self-care behavior in heart failure patients, demonstrating good internal consistency with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.84.
