“…The truthfulness and trustworthiness of our qualitative findings from CHD participants with their discussion of first‐hand and detailed experiences are also verified by the previous studies. Risk perception, which refers to patients’ evaluation of their probability of dangerous events and the harm of the possible event in our study, was reported to enable patients to better understand the importance of reducing their risk for future cardiac events (Figueiras et al, 2017). Consequently, risk perception assists them in engaging in risk‐reducing intentions and behaviours.…”

Aims and objectives: To explore factors of health behaviour maintenance from the perspective of coronary heart disease (CHD) patients. Background:The majority of CHD patients do not achieve appropriate theory-based intervention to maintain health behaviours. Previous health behaviour change theories give little importance to behaviour maintenance. Design: A qualitative descriptive study. Methods: Thirty CHD patients were recruited purposively and interviewed from four hospitals in Beijing, China, during January 2017-August 2019. Data were analysed using template analysis methods. The COREQ checklist was used. Results: Perceived enjoyment and perceived effectiveness from the newly adopted behaviours emerged as vital factors for maintaining health behaviour; contemplationaction-maintenance (CAM) model to explain the behaviour change and maintenance of CHD patients was constructed. Conclusions: The CAM model provides insight into the factors of health behaviour action and maintenance among CHD patients. Professionals can develop interventions from the perspective of patients' experiences to promote maintenance of behaviour.Relevance to clinical practice: Professionals need to consider that the goal of behavioural intervention should initially and continuously target patients' perseverance.Interventions of health behaviour that bring enjoyment may aid long-term maintenance. Also, healthcare providers can enhance patients' perception of effectiveness to motivate their behaviour maintenance in lifestyle change programmes. K E Y W O R D Scoronary heart disease, health behaviour change, maintenance, nursing, qualitative approaches What does this paper contribute to the wider global clinical community?• Perceived enjoyment from the adopted health behaviour is vital for patients with CHD to maintain such behaviour.• Perceived effectiveness, the satisfactory feelings which provide positive feedback to the patients, is another contributor to behaviour change. | 1465 YUE Et al.

“…In addition, one item estimated absolute CVD risk: "What do you think the risk of your getting any kind of cardiovascular disease within the next 10 years is?" by selecting a number from 1 to 10, with 0 = no risk and 10 = very high risk, a question routinely used in CVD risk perception related studies 16,28 .…”

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of global mortality and disease burden. The perceived risk of CVD, a central psychological construct, may affect health behavior change and maintenance, such as lifestyle modification and medication adherence. Risk perception varies based on the knowledge of risk in the context of cultural health-world views. Little is known about CVD-related knowledge and risk perception in China. The aim of this study is to cross-culturally translate, adapt, and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Attitudes and Beliefs about Cardiovascular Disease (ABCD) Risk Perception Questionnaire in Chinese. The translation and cross-cultural adaptation process followed established guidelines. A cross-sectional study of 318 adults between April and May 2022 was conducted in Zhejiang province. The study evaluated the item- and scale-level psychometric properties and validity indices of the ABCD risk perception questionnaire. The exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses of the risk scale supported a three-factor solution that accounts for 69.63% of the total variance, corresponding to risk perception (F1), perceived benefits and intention to change physical activity (F2), and perceived benefits and intention to change dietary habits (F3). Adequate content validity (I-CVI = 0.852–1.00, S-CVI = 946) was ensured by expert panel. The internal consistency of the dimensions showed good results ranging from 0.801 to 0.940 for Cronbach's α, and 0.853 to 0.952 for McDonald’s ω. The item analysis of knowledge dimension indicated that the item difficulty index was 0.440 to 0.852, the item discrimination index was 0.572 to 0.707. This study confirmed that the Chinese version of the ABCD risk perception questionnaire has good psychometric properties in terms of measuring CVD-related knowledge and risk perception in the Chinese adult population, which can lead to the development of individually tailored CVD-risk reduction intervention programs or risk communication programs by health providers.

(1) Background: Breast cancer (BC) shows significant epidemiological differences between Eastern and Western countries. These may arise from socio-cultural factors influencing how healthy young women perceive this condition, their risk of getting cancer, and the implications for preventive screening behaviors. In this study, the illness perceptions, individual risk perception, compared risk, and beliefs about preventive behaviors for BC of female university students were compared using an anonymous online survey between a European country (Portugal) and the United Arab Emirates. (2) Method: A structural equation model (SEM) was developed to investigate the hypothetical relationship between illness perceptions and compared risk as predictors of perceived risk for BC. (3) Results: There were significant differences between the study variables. The SEM was invariant, but the differences between regression coefficients in both countries were highly statistically significant. Mediation analyses revealed a significant indirect effect of compared risk on individual risk and a significantly stronger direct effect for the Emirati sample. (4) Conclusions: These findings suggest that cultural research may help to explain factors that may shape social comparison of individual risk characteristics and influence perceived risk. Moreover, providing culturally appropriate strategies to be designed and implemented can promote early detection behaviors for BC.
