AB  - BACKGROUND: Heart failure (HF) is a chronic heart condition that requires 
      patients to adapt to the disease and maintain a high degree of self-management. 
      Patients with HF commonly feel loss of control, which has a negative effect on 
      their compliance to self-care, health-related quality of life, and health 
      outcomes. To promote self-care behavior and to develop healthy coping mechanisms, 
      it is important to understand individual HF patients' perceived control, a 
      self-generated belief that one has the ability to bring forth desired outcomes. 
      Currently, there is no valid and reliable Korean instrument available in 
      measuring perceived control among patients with HF. OBJECTIVE: The objective of 
      this study was to cross-culturally translate, adapt, and evaluate psychometric 
      properties of the Korean version of Control Attitudes Scale-Revised (KCAS-R) in 
      Korean patients with HF. METHODS: The KCAS-R was developed using a 
      translation/back-translation process and an examination of semantic and 
      conceptual equivalence. Reliability was assessed using Cronbach alpha to determine 
      internal consistency, and item-total and interitem correlations were assessed to 
      test item homogeneity. The construct validity was examined using exploratory 
      factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and testing hypotheses for known 
      associations with self-efficacy, self-care confidence, and self-care. RESULTS: A 
      convenience sample of 138 patients with HF were included for the psychometric 
      testing of an 8-item KCAS-R. The Cronbach alpha for internal consistency was 0.835, 
      and the item-total correlation was acceptable. The construct validity revealed a 
      2-factor structure accounting for 63.23% of the total variance. The KCAS-R was 
      associated with higher levels of self-efficacy, self-care confidence, and 
      self-care. In addition, patients with higher perceived control had less 
      depression and anxiety compared with those with lower levels of perceived 
      control. CONCLUSION: This study provided support for the satisfactory reliability 
      and validity of the 8-item KCAS-R in measuring perceived control in Korean 
      patients with HF.
