We modified a general health fatalism instrument to examine cardiovascular disease (CVD) fatalism because there is no specific CVD fatalism instrument (CVD-FI).
Adults with two or more CVD risk factors completed a 20-item CVD-FI rated on a 5-point Likert scale. Higher scores indicated higher CVD fatalism. Reliability and construct validity of the CVD-FI were examined using Cronbach's alpha, factor analysis, and hypothesis testing using correlation respectively.
Cronbach's alpha was 0.89 supporting internal consistency. Hypothesis that individuals with lower adherence to healthy lifestyle will have high fatalism score was supported (Pearson's = -0.151; = .001), and factor analysis yielded a 4-factor solution.
CVD-FI is a reliable and valid measure of CVD fatalism. More research is needed to confirm the emergent 4-factor solution of CVD fatalism.
我们修改了一个通用的健康宿命论工具，以检查心血管疾病（CVD）宿命论，因为没有专门的 CVD 宿命论工具（CVD-FI）。
有两个或更多 CVD 危险因素的成年人完成了一项 20 项 CVD-FI，评分采用 5 点李克特量表。更高的分数表示更高的 CVD 宿命论。使用 Cronbach's alpha、因子分析和相关性假设检验分别检查 CVD-FI 的可靠性和构建效度。
Cronbach's alpha 为 0.89，支持内部一致性。个体对健康生活方式的依从性越低，宿命论得分越高的假设得到了支持（Pearson's = -0.151; p =.001），并且因子分析得出了 4 个因子的解决方案。
CVD-FI 是 CVD 宿命论的可靠和有效的衡量标准。需要进一步的研究来确认 CVD 宿命论的新兴 4 因子解决方案。
