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.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort	Intervention / Treatment
Patients in need of pulmonary rehabilitation or already receiving pulmonary rehabilitation.; Native Turkish-speaking patients in need of pulmonary rehabilitation or already receiving pulmonary rehabilitation.	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

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Tele-Pulmonary Rehabilitation Acceptance Scale	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.	1 day
