Exposure
Application of a newly developed 19-item questionnaire to assess heart failure patients' knowledge about their disease
O
Outcome
Tool validity and reliability, assessed via clarity index, reproducibility (intraclass correlation coefficient), internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha), and construct validity (exploratory factor analysis)patient reported

Limitations
- Intentional and non-probabilistic sample
- Study restricted to specific cardiac rehabilitation centers in one Brazilian state
Cite This Study
Bonin et al. (2014) conducted a cross-sectional in Heart Failure (n=96). Questionnaire about Heart Failure Patients' Knowledge of Their Disease was evaluated on Questionnaire reproducibility (Intraclass Correlation Coefficient) and internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha). The 19-item questionnaire demonstrated satisfactory clarity (index 8.94), reproducibility (intraclass correlation coefficient 0.856), and internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha 0.749) for assessing heart failure patients' knowledge.
