Objective To introduce and translate the Cardiac Rehabilitation Barriers Scale （CRBS） into a Chinese version, and to test its reliability and validity. Methods In pursuant to Brislin translation model, CRBS was translated and back translated, culturally adjusted and revised, to form a Chinese version.A total of 260 patients with heart diseases were surveyed to verify the reliability and validity of the Chinese version. Results The critical ratio (CR) values of 21 items were between 3.120-8.251, with significant differences in all items between high-versus low-score groups （all P＜0.05）.Dimension-item correlation coefficients were between 0.504-0.866, and the dimension-dimension correlation coefficients were between 0.405-0.768.The Cronbach′s α coefficient was 0.920 for the overall scale, and between 0.816-0.911 for the four dimensions; the test-retest coefficient was 0.869 for the whole scale.I-CVI was between 0.811-1.000, S-CVI/UA was 0.841, and S-CVI/Ave was 0.940.Four factors were extracted and collectively explained 64.701% of total variation. Conclusion The Chinese version CRBS has good reliability and validity.It can provide a basis for formulation of individual rehabilitation nursing plan and assessment for patients with heart diseases.
