This study was undertaken to assess the correlation between a self-administered, adapted Six Minute Walk Test (the Home-Heart-Walk) and the standard Six Minute Walk Test based on the American Thoracic Society guideline. A correlational study was conducted at a university campus in Sydney, Australia. Thirteen healthy volunteers underwent the Home-Heart-Walk and the standard Six Minute Walk Test on a single occasion. The distance that participants walked during the two tests was assessed using Pearson's correlation. The correlation between the Home-Heart-Walk and the Six Minute Walk Test distance was 0.81. The Home-Heart-Walk distance was highly correlated to the standard Six Minute Walk Test distance in this study. This relationship provides confidence for further research in populations to facilitate monitoring and evaluation.
本研究旨在评估基于美国胸科学会指南的自我管理、适应性六分钟步行测试（家庭-心脏-步行）与标准六分钟步行测试之间的相关性。在澳大利亚悉尼的大学校园进行了一项相关性研究。13 名健康志愿者在一次测试中同时进行了家庭-心脏-步行和标准六分钟步行测试。使用 Pearson 相关系数评估参与者在两项测试中行走的距离。家庭-心脏-步行与六分钟步行测试距离之间的相关性为 0.81。在这项研究中，家庭-心脏-步行距离与标准六分钟步行测试距离高度相关。这种关系为在人群中进行进一步的监测和评估研究提供了信心。
