Abstract

Introduction: There are significant GENDER DIFFERENCES in the epidemiology andpresentation of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), physiological aspects of CVDs, response to diagnostic tests or interventions, and prevalence or incidence of theassociated RISK FACTORS. Considering the independent influence of gender on early direconsequences of such diseases, this study was conducted to investigate genderdifferences in PATIENTS' BELIEFS about biological, environmental, behavioral, andpsychological RISK FACTORS in a CARDIAC REHABILITATION program.Materials and Methods: This study has cross sectional design. The sample wascomposed of 775 patients referred to CARDIAC REHABILITATION unit in Imam Ali Hospitalin Kermanshah, Iran. The data were collected using clinical interview and patients’medical records. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation, and chi-square test. To do the statistical analysis, SPSS version 20was utilized.Results: As the results indicated, there was a significant difference between thebeliefs of men and women about RISK FACTORS of heart disease (X2=48.36; P<0.01). Menconsidered behavioral (55.1%) and psychological (33.7%) RISK FACTORS as the maincauses of their disease, respectively. On the other hand, women regardedpsychological (38.2%) and behavioral factors (26.6%) as the most common causes ofcardiac conditions, respectively. Both men and women considered stress as the mostimportant heart disease risk factor (21% and 22.3%, respectively). Also, women wereless aware of the RISK FACTORS, compared to men.Conclusion: From the patients’ perspective, psychological and behavioral RISK FACTORSwere the most important causes of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs); moreover, stresswas the most influential risk factor for developing cardiac diseases. Thus, learning tocontrol and manage these RISK FACTORS can help to prevent the development of CVDsand reduce the occurrence of subsequent cardiac events.
