Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of the study was to create a “Development of the Japanese version of the acceptance of implantable cardiovascular devices scale” and to examine the reliability and validity of the scale. First, we translated and back translated the original scale with permission from the original developer and created a Japanese version after checking the contents with physicians and nurse. We subsequently conducted a questionnaire survey with patients who have an ICD, CRT-P or CRT-D implanted as the subjects and received valid responses from a total of 145 patients. Cronbach's α (0.88) was used to ensure internal consistency. Confirmatory factor analysis using covariance structure analysis was performed to evaluate the validity of the factor structure. The fit indicies were CFI = 0.927 and RMSEA = 0.070. This scale has the potential to allow for focused intervention by finding patients at an early stage that are unwilling to have an implantable cardiovascular device implanted.
