Abstract
Objective To translate the English version of the Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale (ESES) into Chinese and test the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of ESES in patients after stroke. Methods Totally 214 patients after stroke were recruited and were investigated by the Chinese version of ESES. Results The internal consistency coefficient of the Chinese version of ESES was 0.879. The split half reliability coefficient was 0.858(P <0.01). The test-retest reliability was 0.657. Item-total correlation coefficient ranged between 0.627 and 0.779 (P <0.01). Factor analysis got one factor, which explained 59.745% of the total variance, and the factor loading of each item was above 0.4. Using General Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) as an external criterion, the Pearson correlation coefficient of ESES with GSES was 0.496. Conclusions The Chinese version of ESES has been proved to be reliable and valid. It can be used as a valid tool for the measurement of exercise self-efficacy in patients after stroke. Key words: The exercise self-efficacy; Stroke; Reliability; Validity
