AimsTo explore the mediational effect of activities of daily living (ADL) and kinesiophobia on the cardiac function and health status of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF).MethodsFrom October 2021 to January 2022, a total of 244 CHF patients treated in the Department of Cardiology of general hospitals were recruited by the convenience sampling method. They were investigated with the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia Heart (TSK‐SV Heart), the Barthel index for assessing ADL, and the EuroQol five‐dimensional questionnaire (EQ‐5D) for assessing the health status.ResultsThe cardiac function and kinesiophobia of CHF patients were both negatively correlated with their health status (r = −.390 and −0.410, respectively, both p < .01). Besides, the ADL of CHF patients was positively correlated with the health status (r = .320, p < .01). The cardiac function of CHF patients was negatively correlated with the ADL (r = −.412, p < .01), but positively correlated with kinesiophobia (r = .180, p < .01). The mediation proportion of ADL plus kinesiophobia between the cardiac function and health status of CHF patients was 43.48%. Both ADL and kinesiophobia partially mediated the effect of cardiac function on health status in CHF patients, but their mediational effects showed no significant difference (p = .777).ConclusionBoth ADL and kinesiophobia exert obvious mediational effects between cardiac function and health status in CHF patients. Individualized cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs based on the cardiac function, ADL and kinesiophobia of CHF patients may contribute to reduce the medical burden and improve the well‐being of affected people.

“…Medicine and proved to be a well validated generic, self-reported health status instrument [34]. It has been used with Chinese HF patients [35,36]. A small study of 39 in-patients with congestive HF who had undergone treatment with integrative Chinese medicine found that all domains of the ChQoL showed significant improvement after treatment, and the ChQoL was demonstrated to be more responsive to measuring changes in quality of life than two generic questionnaires -World Health Organisation Quality of Life assessment short form (WHOQOL-BREF) and the Short Form 36-item Health Survey (SF-36), but less responsive than the disease-specific questionnaire -MLHFQ [36].…”

Although these results suggest that the ChQoL could be considered suitable as an outcome measure for Chinese patients with congestive HF, it may be impractical given the complexity of the questionnaire: 50 items across physical/spiritual/emotional domains which require 10 -20 minutes to complete.…”

“…The WHOQOL-BREF provides a shorter instrument and being, theoretically, more manageable (Garcia-Rea & LePage, 2010). The WHOQOL-BREF has been tested in numerous populations including geriatric (Chachamovich et al, 2008), transplants (Nejatisafa et al, 2008), anxiety and depression (Masskulpan et al, 2008), cognitive impairment (Kim et al, 2008), heart failure (Zhao et al, 2008), multiple sclerosis (Wynia et al, 2008) and homeless veteran (Garcia-Rea & LePage, 2010). In brief, the instrument has four domains: Physical Health, Psychological, Social Relationship, and Environment.…”

Psychometrics analysis is often used in quality of life outcomes research to evaluate the validity of survey instruments. Many psychometrics assessment instruments have been tested to various cohorts of participants. This paper offers a contribution to validate the instrument of quality of life research that was tested to Malaysian youths. The aim of this paper is to provide an analysis of psychometrics properties of the instrument WHOQOL-BREF, based on the scores of 435 valid questionnaires collected in the study. These psychometrics analyses, which include internal reliability, factor structure, loadings item and inter-domain correlations were tested to the data obtained from 15 to 40 years old of Malaysian youths who completed a 25-item questionnaire on quality of life. The questionnaire was designed to measure four different domains, two of which included physical health and psychological factor. The items fulfilled the internal consistency reliability while the factor analysis extracted approximately 65 percent of the items as the main seven factors. The loading items recognized the domain of Environment as the highest items load followed by the domain of Physical Health. Inter-domain correlations were measured and Spearman's rho coefficients ranged from 0.554 to 0.613 to prove the connectivity of the four domains. The statistical evidence from Malaysian youth data supports the conclusions of WHOQOL-BREF as a suitable psychometrics tool for measuring quality of life.

Responsiveness of the Chinese Quality of Life Instrument in patients with congestive heart failure

Abstract: The ChQOL was better in sensitivity and responsiveness for assessing congestive heart failure as a generic measure than the SF-36 and WHOQOL-BREF. The ChQOL is considered suitable as an outcome measure for clinical trials in patients with congestive heart failure.
