Abstract

Background and Objectives: Patients who plan for open heart surgery should gain knowledge about pre-operative and post-operative cardiac rehabilitation for their rapid recovery and safety. Presently, there is no valid tool for determining patients’ knowledge and comprehension in pre-operative and post-operative cardiac rehabilitation. Thus, we developed questionnaires for determining knowledge and comprehension in the pre-operative and post-operative cardiac rehabilitation for patients with open heart surgery.


Methods: This study design was a cross-sectional descriptive study. The questionnaires were consisted of 10 pre-operative and 8 post-operative cardiac rehabilitation items. The questionnaires’s validity was assessed by 36 medical personnels (physiotherapists, physicians, and nurses) who worked at Queen Sirikit Heart Center of the Northeast and physiotherapists who worked at nearby hospitals. The Index of item-objective congruence (IOC) > 0.8 was considered as valid.


Results: The IOC score of all items in the pre-operative and post-operative cardiac rehabilitation questionnaires was > 0.8, except post-operative rehabilitation item 4 which IOC was 0.5. The IOC of item 4 after adjusting  was  > 0.8.


Conclusions: Questionnaires for determining knowledge and comprehension in pre-operative and post-operative cardiac rehabilitation for patients with open heart surgery were valid.
