Introduction The study aims to verify the reliability and validity of the Turkish versions of the Hopkins Rehabilitation Engagement Rating Scale (HRERS-T) for knee arthroplasty.Methods Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was used to assess internal consistency. The scores of 51 patients were evaluated, and test-retest reliability was determined using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used to assess the construct validity.Results Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was determined for the HRERS-T items and overall ratings. Internal consistency of all items and the total score of the HRERS-T was excellent (>0.90; ranged 0.93–0.97). HRERS-T showed excellent test-retest reliability (ICC2,k=0.94; ranged 0.93–0.97) and inter-rater reliability (ICC2,k=0.93; ranged 0.93–0.97). The correlation between HRERS-T and the Functional Independence Measurement was strong (r = 0.53, p < 0.05), and the Barthel Index was moderate (r = 0.36, p < 0.05). In addition, there was a moderate relationship between the HRERS-T and the European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions Questionnaire (r = 0.43, p < 0.05) and the European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions Questionnaire-Visual Analog Scale (r = 0.30, p < 0.05).Discussion Determining rehabilitation engagement is important in assessing the effectiveness of the patient’s rehabilitation program and identifying strategies to increase participation. HRERS-T is applicable for use with patients undergoing a rehabilitation program and has relatively high validity and reliability.
