Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Not yet recruiting

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The use of telehealth in pulmonary rehabilitation, also known as telerehabilitation, is a novel approach in healthcare practice. In order to effectively implement telerehabilitation programs, it is important to evaluate how potential users perceive and accept this new type of program. Thus, the aim of this research was to create a measuring tool that could assess the level of acceptance of telerehabilitation among healthcare providers and patients. A group of experts in pulmonary rehabilitation, telehealth, information technology, and scale development have reviewed and confirmed the content validity of the Tele-Pulmonary Rehabilitation Acceptance Scale. This scale is significant because it offers a consistent means of collecting data to measure the level of acceptance towards telerehabilitation among potential users. This study aims to translate and show the consistency and validity of the Tele-Pulmonary Rehabilitation Acceptance Scale in Turkish.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Other: Turkish version of the Tele-Pulmonary Rehabilitation Acceptance Scale
The Tele-Pulmonary Rehabilitation Acceptance Scale is a measuring tool that assesses the level of acceptance towards telerehabilitation programs among healthcare providers and patients in the field of pulmonary rehabilitation. It is used to evaluate the attitudes, beliefs, and perceptions of potential users towards telerehabilitation, which is a form of healthcare delivery that utilizes telecommunication technology to provide remote rehabilitation services to patients. The scale is intended to provide a standardized data collection tool that can be used to measure the level of acceptance of telerehabilitation programs among different groups of potential users. This scale will be translated into Turkish by a researcher who has an advanced level of knowledge in English and whose native language is Turkish.
Other: Scale Evaluation Form
The healthcare providers and the patients will be asked about their opinions on the scale's construction, usefulness, and scope using a 100 mm visual analog scale.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Tele-Pulmonary Rehabilitation Acceptance Scale
Time Frame: 1 day
The primary outcome is the overall validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Tele-Pulmonary Rehabilitation Acceptance Scale. This scale is a Likert scale with a total of 13 questions and the score for each question ranges from 1 to 4. The total score is 52 and higher scores indicate that the patient is more inclined to adopt telerehabilitation. This will involve analyzing the responses of participants to the questionnaire to determine if it accurately measures the intended construct. The study will also assess the internal consistency of the responses to determine if the scale produces consistent results when administered multiple times to the same group of patients.
