Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study is to translate and to verify the reliability and validity the Korean version of Stroke Rehabilitation Motivation Scale (K-SRMS), which was developed in Australia to evaluate the motivational level of stroke patient in rehabilitation.
Methods: The translation process followed the structural process, including translation, verification of conjugation of the Korean language, compromise process, reverse translation, feedback, final correction. The reliability was evaluated by using Internal consistency and test-retest analysis. The Validity was assessed by comparing the Korean version of the Behavior Inhibition System/Behavior Activation System (BIS/BAS) and using exploratory factor analysis.
Results: A reliability test was conducted for a total of 50 participants. The test-retest analysis result showed good reliability and the result of internal consistency was as good as the original version except for four items. With the exclusion of four items that made reliability insufficient, a total of 102 participants were enrolled for the validity test. Pearson correlation analysis demonstrated that BAS total result was significantly correlated with K-SRMS (Pearson’s r = 0.207, p < 0.05). In exploratory factor analysis result, the K-SRMS was categorized into 7 factors, and Factor 1 and Factor 4 showed mutual concordance with a subscale of K-SRMS such as Intrinsic motivational factors and Amotivation, respectively.
Conclusion: The K-SRMS was newly developed and showed good reliability and validity. The K-SRMS could be used as a tool to objectify the degree of motivation for the rehabilitation of stroke patients in clinical care and research.
