Purpose. To examine the psychometric properties of an Exercise Attitudes and Beliefs Questionnaire (RA-EAQ) for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods: 140 patients with RA aged 53.84±15.3 years were recruited from an arthritis clinic at a large teaching hospital. Data Analyses: Descriptive statistics were used to describe the sample. Cronbach's alpha was used to assess internal consistency of the RA-EAQ. A receiver operating curve (ROC) was used to determine the sensitivity and specificity, and spearman correlational coefficients were used to examine the associations between the RA-EAQ scale and past as well as current exercise behavior. Conclusion: The EAQ demonstrated good internal consistency and was able to discriminate between current exercisers and non-exercisers. The RA-EAQ has moderate to good specificity and moderate sensitivity indicating that the RA-EAQ may be a useful tool in evaluating RA patients' exercise attitudes, beliefs and social norms.
