Objective To develop, pilot test and psychometrically validate a shorter version of the coronary artery disease education questionnaire (CADE-Q), called CADE-Q SV. Methods Based on previous versions of the CADE-Q, cardiac rehabilitation (CR) experts developed 20 items divided into 5 knowledge domains to comprise the first version of the CADE-Q SV. To establish content validity, they were reviewed by an expert panel (N = 12). Refined items were pilot-tested in 20 patients, in which clarity was provided. A final version was generated and psychometrically-tested in 132CR patients. Test-retest reliability was assessed via the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), the internal consistency using Cronbach’s alpha, and criterion validity with regard to patients’ education and duration in CR. Results All ICC coefficients meet the minimum recommended standard. All domains were considered internally consistent (a > 0.7). Criterion validity was supported by significant differences in mean scores by educational level (p < 0.01) and duration in CR (p < 0.05). Knowledge about exercise and nutrition was higher than knowledge about medical condition. Conclusion The CADE-Q SV was demonstrated to have good reliability and validity. Practice Implications This is a short, quick and appropriate tool for application in clinical and research settings, assessing patients’ knowledge during CR and as part of education programming.
