“…This finding supports the findings of Jafary and colleagues (2005) [7]. In addition Thanavaro and colleagues (2006) reported that women in the USA, with a positive family history of CHD, were more involved in healthy behaviours [8].…”

“…better knowledge and understanding of the symptoms of the disease may lead to earlier presentation of the patient for medical care, leading to better patient outcomes [6]. If members of the general public are unaware of the risks of CHD, it will be difficult for them to be proactive in reducing their own risk [7,8].…”

“…[4][5][6][7] Narrowing this gap in knowledge related to CVD prevention may be one step in reducing disparities in CVD morbidity because knowledge related to heart disease has been associated with health promotion behaviors. 8,9 Although racial and ethnic disparities in CVD outcomes and risk factors are well documented, few data have evaluated population differences in CVD knowledge in conjunction with preventive actions and barriers to prevention in women by racial=ethnic group. The purpose of this study was to assess differences in CVD knowledge, preventive actions, and barriers to prevention by racial=ethnic group in a nationally representative sample of women.…”

Background: Racial and ethnic disparities in cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes and risk factors are well documented, but few data have evaluated population differences in CVD knowledge, preventive action, and barriers to prevention. Methods: A nationally representative sample of 1008 women (17% Hispanic, 22% black, 61% white=other) selected through random digit dialing were given a standardized questionnaire about knowledge of healthy risk factor levels, recent preventive actions, and barriers to prevention. Analysis focused on predictors of knowledge and preventive action in the past year and proportion reporting select barriers to prevention. Logistic regression was used to determine if race=ethnicity was independently associated with knowledge and preventive action after adjustment. Results: No racial=ethnic differences in risk factor knowledge were identified except Hispanic women were 44% less likely than white=others to know the optimal high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level (odds ratio [OR] 0.56,95% confidence interval [CI] 0.35-0.91). Knowledge of blood pressure goal was lower among those with less than a college education (OR 0.59,95% CI 0.44-0.79). Hispanics were twice as likely as white=others to help someone else lose weight (OR 1.78,95% CI 1.17-2.71) or add physical activity (OR 1.95,95% CI 1.18-3.22) in the past year. Blacks were more likely than whites=others to report decreased unhealthy food consumption (OR 1.77,95% CI 1.08-2.93), trying to lose weight (OR 1.62,95% CI 1.06-2.47), and taking action when they experienced CVD symptoms (30% vs. 23%,p ¼ 0.03). Physician encouragement was cited as the reason for taking preventive action more often by black (59%,p ¼ 0.002) and Hispanic (54%,p ¼ 0.03) women than whites=others (43%). Conclusions: Continued initiatives to improve and translate knowledge into preventive action are needed, especially among less educated and Hispanic women who may activate others to reduce risk.

“…Literatürde de KABG ameliyatı sonrası egzersiz programlarına kadın hastaların katılım oranlarının erkeklerinkinden az olduğu belirtilmektedir. [10,[14][15][16] Bulgularımız literatüre paralellik göstermektedir. Bu farkın toplumumuzda egzersiz alışkanlığının yetersizliği ve kadınların bu programlara ulaşmada yaşadığı güçlük nedeni ile oluştuğu ve kadın-ların SYBD'yi erkeklere kıyasla daha az gerçekleştire-bildikleri söylenebilir.…”

ÖZAmaç: Bu çalışmada koroner arter baypas greft cerrahisi yapılan hastaların ameliyat öncesi ve sonrası sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları değerlendirildi.Ça lış ma pla nı: Çalışmaya Kartal Koşuyolu Yüksek İhtisas Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi'nde elektif koroner arter baypas greft cerrahisi yapılan ve iletişim sorunu olmayan toplam 208 hasta (170 erkek, 38 kadın; ort. yaş 57.1±8.5 yıl; dağılım 32-78 yıl) dahil edildi. Sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları ameliyattan önce ve altı hafta sonra Sağlıklı Yaşam Biçimi Davranışları Ölçeği ile değerlendirildi. Bul gu lar:Hastaların ameliyattan altı hafta sonraki ortalama Sağlıklı Yaşam Biçimi Davranış skorları, ameliyat öncesi skorlara kıyasla, anlamlı derecede artmış idi. Ölçeğin alt boyutlarından kendini gerçekleştirme ve kişiler arası destek skorlarında da anlamlı bir artış izlendi. Ameliyattan altı hafta sonra sağlık sorumluluğu, egzersiz ve stres yönetimi alt boyut skorları, ameliyat öncesine kıyasla, anlamlı olarak azaldı. So nuç:Koroner arter baypas greft cerrahisi, hastaların sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışlarını etkilemektedir. Ameliyattan altı hafta sonra hastaların kendini gerçekleştirme yetilerinde ve yakın çevresi ile olan iletişimde artış olduğu; kendi sağlık sorumluluğu, egzersiz düzeyi, öğünlerin düzenlenmesi ve stres ile baş etme durumunda azalma olduğu söylenebilir.Anah tarsöz cük ler: Koroner arter baypas greftleme; sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları; perioperatif dönem. ABSTRACTBackground: This study aims to evaluate pre-and postoperative health-promoting lifestyle behaviors among patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
