Purpose: This methodological study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Self-Care of Coronary Heart Disease Inventory version 3 (SC-CHDI v3) in a Korean context.
Methods: The SC-CHDI v3 was translated into Korean following a rigorous translation process. Participants were 452 patients who had experienced coronary heart disease (CHD), all recruited from a tertiary hospital in Korea. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed to test construct validity. Concurrent validity was examined by correlating scores from the Korean version of the SC-CHDI v3 with those from the Cardiac Self-Efficacy Scale. Internal consistency was analyzed using Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega.
Results: The Korean version of the SC-CHDI v3 consists of 21 items, excluding two from the original instrument. The self-care maintenance subscale identified a two-factor structure: "treatment adherence" and "health-promoting behaviors." The goodness-of-fit indices were satisfied: χ = 18.19, p = .110, comparative fit index (CFI) = .97, Tucker-Lewis Index (TLI) = .95, and standardized root mean square residual (SRMR) = .04. The self-care monitoring subscale consisted of a one-dimensional structure ("monitoring behaviors") and the goodness-of-fit indices were satisfied: χ = 19.19, p = .059, CFI = .99, TLI = .99, and SRMR = .04. The self-care management subscales had a two-factor structure of "consulting behaviors" and "problem-solving behaviors." The goodness-of-fit indices were satisfied: χ = 16.44, p = .037, CFI = .99, TLI = .98, and SRMR = .03. Scores from the Cardiac Self-Efficacy Scale showed a positive correlation with the Korean version of SC-CHDI v3 subscales. Reliability estimates were ≥ .80 for all subscales except for the self-care maintenance subscale.
Conclusions: The Korean version of the SC-CHDI v3 consists of 21 items in 3 subscales and is a valid and reliable instrument. Therefore, healthcare providers can effectively utilize it to assess the self-care levels of patients with CHD.

Background: Research on the relationship between physical activity and medical expenses among individuals with obesity has been sparse. This study investigates that association using nationwide data from Korea.
Methods: We analyzed data from the National Sample Cohort of the Korean National Health Insurance Service, including 112,531 adults with obesity who underwent at least two health screenings within a 2-year interval between 2009 and 2015.

Purpose: In this study, we aimed to develop and test the validity and reliability of the Korean version of the Novice Nursing Practitioner Role Transition (K-NNPRT) scale.
Methods: This scale was developed through forward translation, expert panel endorsement, and back translation and revised based on cognitive interviews. Data for the psychometric test were collected from 248 nurses who provide advanced care in Korea.

Purpose: To identify and explore the latent categories of self-control and clarify the relationship between self-control and self-management of stroke survivors under different categories.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted using a general information questionnaire, the Chinese version of the Dual-Mode Self-Control Scale, and the Stroke Self-Management Scale to measure sociodemographic data, self-control, and self-management. The questionnaires were administered face-to-face, and a convenience sampling method was used to collect the data.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore health literacy profiles in patients with heart failure and identify heterogeneous subgroups within the chronic heart failure population. Through investigating the health literacy of heart failure patients, we analyzed the factors influencing patients' health literacy levels, aiming to provide evidence-based guidance for improving health literacy in this patient population.
Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design.

Purpose: Although firefighters are likely to experience various types of personal growth following traumatic events, there has been a lack of reliable measurements to assess their positive changes. Therefore, this study aimed to develop and validate a posttraumatic growth scale considering the unique occupational characteristics of firefighters as first responders.
Methods: This is a methodological study to develop and validate the posttraumatic growth of first responders scale for firefighters (PTG-FIRSF).
