Abstract
Background:Cardiac risk perception in patients who had a heart event is unknown.Purpose:Evaluate the validity and reliability of the Post Event-Cardiovascular Risk Perception Survey (PE-CRPS).Methods:This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study with a convenient sample of 251 patients who experienced a heart event. Descriptive and exploratory factor analyses was used to analyze the data.Results:Nine of ten items with an oblique (direct oblimin) rotation resulted in two factors extracted, which explained 54% of the variance. The two factors represented perception of medical history variable and a stress/family history variable. Cronbach’s α reliability analyses indicated both factors were reliable; strongly related with a correlation of .69 and .81.Conclusion:Cardiovascular risk perception explained by two factors.
