This study assessed the psychometric properties of the Arabic version of Exercise Self-Efficacy scale (ESE-A) among Jordanian outpatients with a variety of chronic diseases using descriptive cross-sectional design. Participants' scores of ESE-A significantly correlated with their reported weekly exercise frequency ( r = .23, p< .001), duration ( r = .31, p< .001), and evaluation of their physical exercise ( r = .39, p< .001). The construct validity was tested using exploratory factor analysis, which retained all items, and the scree plot showed one meaningful factor with an eigenvalue of 10.38 and an explained variance of 57.7%. Furthermore, Cronbach's alpha was .89 and split-half coefficient was .83 indicating that the ESE-A is a reliable scale. The ESE-A was found to be a robust measure to evaluate exercise self-efficacy among Arabic patients with chronic diseases. Arabic researchers interested in exercise self-efficacy are invited to utilize the ESE-A in their studies to confirm its psychometric properties.
本研究采用描述性横断面设计，评估了阿拉伯语版运动自我效能量表（ESE-A）在患有各种慢性病的约旦门诊患者中的心理测量特性。参与者的ESE-A得分与他们报告的每周运动频率（r = 0.23，p < 0.001）、运动时长（r = 0.31，p < 0.001）以及对体育锻炼的评价（r = 0.39，p < 0.001）显著相关。使用探索性因素分析对结构效度进行了检验，该分析保留了所有项目，碎石图显示一个有意义的因素，特征值为10.38，解释方差为57.7%。此外，克朗巴哈系数为0.89，分半系数为0.83，表明ESE-A是一个可靠的量表。研究发现，ESE-A是评估患有慢性病的阿拉伯患者运动自我效能的有效指标。邀请对运动自我效能感兴趣的阿拉伯研究人员在其研究中使用ESE-A，以确认其心理测量特性。
