“…This is indicated by the correlation between TSK Heart and PA, mean TSK Heart results, and the percentage of people with TSK Heart results greater than the Vlayen criteria [ 23 ]. The presented data concerning the percentage of people with a high level of kinesiophobia are different from the results obtained by other authors [ 19 , 21 ]. It seems to be a natural consequence of the selection of respondents and lingual and cultural adaptation of the TSK Heart.…”

“…Pain complaints occur in many diseases and are often a barrier to the PA level desired for health. Therefore, a tool for the study of kinesiophobia—Tampa Scale (TSK) began to be applied to other diseases, including to CAD [ 19 , 20 , 21 ]. Theoretical aspects as well as practical needs prompted Polish language adaptation of TSK Heart.…”

Background and objectives: Recommendations for the control of stable patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) related to an adequate level of physical activity (PA). Practical experience shows that the PA level in most people with CAD is definitely too low in relation to the guidelines. The cause may be psychological factors and among them the fear of movement—kinesiophobia. The aim of this project was to examine the evaluation of psychometric features of the Polish version of the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia Heart (TSK Heart), used in people with CAD. Materials and methods: The study involved 287 patients with stable CAD: 112 women and 175 men. Age: 63.50 (SD = 11.49) years. Kinesiophobia was assessed using TSK Heart, physical activity (PA)—using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), and anxiety and depression was examined using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). The structure of TSK was examined using principal component analysis (PCA), internal cohesion (Cronbach’s alpha, AC), and content validity was calculated by linear regression. Results: PCA showed a three-factor TSK structure. One-dimensionality and satisfactory reliability were found: TSK Heart: AC = 0.878. Kinesiophobia as a predictor of PA: R2 = 0.162 (p = 0.000000). Anxiety and depression—TSK: R2 = 0.093 (p = 0.00000). Conclusions: The Polish version of TSK Heart for cardiac patients is characterized by good psychometric features. The use of it can improve the cooperation of rehabilitation teams for patients with CAD.

“…The research instrument to study this problem – TKS, which was originally used among patients with back pain, is used to examine patients with other medical conditions. It also applies to cardiac patients 11,13,17. The reason for conducting these tests is the prevalence of inactivity among people who are ill. Their goal, in addition to cognitive aspects, is to develop or modify both rehabilitation programs and recommendations regarding the lifestyle for people who are ill.…”

“…The TSK used in this study concerns psychological attitudes towards physical effort (activity) and psychological responses to the effort that was made 13. In the presented study, the sum of points assigned to individual statements was used – the higher the sum of TSK points, the higher the level of kinesiophobia.…”

IntroductionThe most commonly occurring diseases among the elderly people are cardiovascular system ones and among them the coronary artery disease (CAD). It is considered that the age and insufficient level of physical activity (PA) are the crucial risk factors of CAD. The key barrier which prevents elderly people from undertaking physical activity may be the fear of activity, called kinesiophobia.AimThe aim of this project was to examine the frequency of kinesiophobia among Polish elderly patients with CAD and its potential conditions: sex, age, CAD duration, other diseases and chosen socio-demographic variables.Reference and methodsThere have been 135 people examined: 59 women and 76 men in the 65–88 age range (average =71.88 years, SD=4.82). They were people diagnosed with stable CAD. The questionnaire form which was used collected information concerning the socio-demographical and physical activity data. And for kinesiophobia, there was Tampa Scale used, which is dedicated to examine cardiac patients – TSK heart.ResultsOver 76% of examined patients had a high level of kinesiophobia (TSK>37 pt). Sex, age, BMI, CAD duration and the number of other diseases did not have any connection with neither PA nor TSK. Education was the only one, among the socio-demographic variables, which differentiated the kinesiophobia. Better educated people had a lower level of it.ConclusionKinesiophobia is a common problem among the elderly people suffering from CAD. It is caused by a lack of physical activity which adversely predicts the progression of the disease. People with higher education are more rarely affected by kinesiophobia. CAD patients should be provided with knowledge and training concerning PA and there should be conditions created to enhance it.

“…The kinesiophobia scale prepared by the authors, contains 17 statements in which patients respond according to a four-point Likert scale, ranging from 1-4: "I do not agree completely", "I do not agree in part", "I agree partially", "I agree completely". Statements 4, 8, 11 and 12 were coded reversal [22]. In the presented study, the sum of points attributed to each statement was used -higher TSK Heart score meant a higher level of kinesiophobia [23].…”

of movement (kinesiophobia) -an underestimated problem in Polish patients at various stages of coronary artery disease. AbstractIntroduction. The importance of the problem of reduced motor activity in the prophylaxis and treatment of many diseases has resulted in numerous adaptations of a diagnostic tool, both for the disease and for linguistic and cultural versions. This also applies to cardiovascular diseases. The significance of the problem, and encouraging results of several studies, have led to a wider use of this tool. This also applies to people suffering cardiologically in Poland, where this problem is poorly understood. This was the inspiration to undertake research on the explanation of the reasons for the limitation in the activation of cardiac patients. Objective. The aim of the study was to determine the level of kinesiophobia in patients with CAD, and to assess its possible association with physical activity (PA), socio-demographic determinants and morbidity. Materials and method. The study was cross-sectional and included 217 hospitalized patients with CAD: 94 women and 123 men; aged 67.39 years. PA was assessed using the short version of IPAQ, and kinesiophobia was assessed using TSK Heart in Polish adaptation. TSK HeartIPAQ correlations were found. Results. More than 70% of the patients revealed high levels of kinesiophobia (TSK>37 points). There were no TSK associations with gender, BMI, socio-demographic variables, other conditions and duration of cardiovascular disease. The disease is the main cause of kinesiophobia and regardless of its nature, negatively affects the level of PA.Conclusions. The quality of life of patients with CAD at various stages and the effectiveness of cardiolog-ical rehabilitation are conditioned by PA.
