Adaptation and validation of the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia for adolescents with cardiac arrhythmia disorders
Biography Overview Kinesiophobia (KP) is defined as an excessive, irrational, and debilitating fear of physical movement and activity resulting from a feeling of vulnerability to painful injury or re-injury. The purpose of this pilot study is to develop and determine the validity and reliability of a modified version of the TSK-Heart for adolescents (TSK-Heart-A) with cardiac arrhythmia disorders (CArD). Our aims are as follows: Aim 1: To establish content and face validity of the TSK-Heart-A. Aim 2: To provisionally establish construct and criterion validity of the TSK-Heart-A. Aim 3: To determine internal and test-retest reliability of the TSK-Heart-A. We hypothesize that, following establishment of face and content validity, the TSK-Heart-A will be associated with depression, anxiety, quality of life (QOL), physical activity (PA), and PA self-efficacy in adolescents with CArD. We also hypothesize that the TSK-Heart-A will have adequate internal and test-retest reliability.
