“…The sample size was estimated according to the requirement of 10–25 participants for each item to conduct factor analysis, that is 80–200 participants for this study [ 17 ]. Considering a rejection or loss-to-follow-up rate of 10%, our final N of 220 satisfies the sample size requirement.…”

Background Measuring health-related diet and exercise self-efficacy is an important first step in improving healthy behaviors and health outcomes. However, we did not find a self-efficacy measurement in Chinese that is specifically targeted at diet and exercise self-efficacy among healthy adults. Aim The present study aimed to translate the Health-Related Diet and Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale -simplified version into Mandarin Chinese (HRDESES) and evaluate its reliability and validity in Chinese healthy adults. Methods The HRDESES was translated and adapted to the Chinese context, with a good content validity of 0.86 among seven experts. The survey was then carried out in 216 adults in Hunan, China. Testing of the reliability included internal consistency reliability and test-retest reliability, while validity included content validity, construct validity, and criterion validity. Results The Cronbach's α of the HRDESES was 0.87 for the total scale, 0.86 for the diet subscale and 0.91 for the exercise subscale; the McDonald's ω of the HRDESES-SC was 0.85 for the total scale, 0.86 for the diet subscale and 0.91 for the exercise subscale, all demonstrating good internal consistency. The test-retest reliability was 0.88 for the total scale, 0.81 for the diet subscale and 0.82 for the exercise subscale, demonstrating good test-retest reliability. For construct validity, the scale effectively distinguished subjects by age, gender, education, occupation, marital status, and family income, showing good discriminant validity. The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) supported a two-factor structure of the scale: diet and exercise subscale. It was demonstrated that the HRDESES was highly associated with the General Self-Efficacy Scale and its two subscales, with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.83 to 0.86 (p < 0.05), showing high criterion validity. Conclusion The HRDESES had good reliability and validity and could be used as a simple and effective tool for assessing the health-related diet and exercise self-efficacy in Chinese healthy adults.

Background/Aims Although in Israel a physical and rehabilitation medicine doctor is not an integral part of neurology department team, their attendance can have a positive effect on the management of patients recovering from stroke and their optimal transfer to rehabilitation setting. The aim of this study was to investigate if the presence of a physical and rehabilitation medicine doctor in a neurology department can influence the length of stay for patients recovering from stroke. Methods A retrospective comparative electronic data analysis of periods with and without a physical and rehabilitation medicine doctor was undertaken in an inpatient neurology department of an urban, periphery, academic medical centre. Results A total of 118 patients with stroke were included in the study; 32 were treated 3 months before the physical and rehabilitation medicine doctor worked on the ward, 43 during, and 43 after the physical and rehabilitation medicine doctor left the department. Statistical comparative analysis showed that length of stay was significantly reduced when there is a physical and rehabilitation medicine doctor present among the neurology ward physicians (18.06 days before intervention, 12.39 days during and 14.12 days after). Conclusions Having a physical and rehabilitation medicine doctor in the neurology department can shorten the length of stay in patients with stroke. Were larger studies to confirm these findings, the authors would recommend incorporating a physical and rehabilitation medicine doctor in neurology departments.
