About

Research has reported that the reasons for low implementation of CR are multifactorial at the health system, physician and patient levels. It has also been found that patients are more likely to initiate CR if physicians strongly and positively promote the importance of CR participation. Unfortunately, there are insufficient and ineffective data on CR, referral to CR and both clinical and cost-effectiveness outcomes of CR in Turkey. In this context, it is important to examine more objectively from the perspective of physicians who play a key role in referring patients to CR. However, in our country, there is no relatively objective measurement tool to evaluate physicians' attitudes towards CR. Therefore, this study aims to adapt the original "Physician Attitudes towards Cardiac Rehabilitation and Referral Scale-Revised (PACRR-R)" into Turkish and to examine its psychometric properties.
