Effectiveness of a self‐care intervention addressing social determinants of health in reducing cardiovascular disease risk in rural populations
PURPOSE: HeartHealth is a multi-component cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk reduction intervention developed for rural Appalachia participants. Its effectiveness in reducing CVD risk factors has been demonstrated, and although HeartHealth was developed to address the negative impact of social determinants of health (SDOH), it remains unclear whether its impact is modified by key SDOH. The aims of the study were to evaluate whether the interventio…
The relationship of health activation with risk of future cardiovascular disease among rural family caregivers of patients with chronic illnesses
BACKGROUND: Family caregivers are at higher risk for developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) than non-caregivers. This risk is worse for those who live in rural compared to urban areas. Health activation, an indicator of engagement in self-care, is predictive of health outcomes and CVD risk in several populations. However, it is not known whether health activation is associated with CVD risk in rural caregivers of patients with chronic illnesses …
Profile of informal rural Appalachian caregivers of patients with chronic illnesses
PURPOSE: Caring for a family member with chronic illness increases cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk by 82%, and rurality imparts additional CVD disparities. The purpose of this study was to describe a profile of rural caregivers of patients with chronic illnesses to determine the prevalence of CVD risk factors, and psychosocial and socioeconomic burden, as well as to compare these variables across gender. METHODS: Baseline data from a trial of C…
The association of deficiencies of water-soluble vitamin intake with health-related quality of life and prognosis in patients with heart failure
Body Mass Index Category Moderates the Relationship Between Depressive Symptoms and Diet Quality in Overweight and Obese Rural‐Dwelling Adults
Purpose This study was conducted to (1) compare diet quality among depressed and nondepressed overweight and obese rural‐dwelling adults and (2) determine whether body mass index (BMI) category moderates the relationship between depressive symptoms and overall diet quality. Methods Rural adults in Kentucky (n = 907) completed the 9‐item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ‐9) that assessed depressive symptoms and a food frequency questionnaire that …
Self-efficacy mediates the relationship of depressive symptoms and social support with adherence in patients with heart failure
Poor self-care is common among adults with heart failure and leads to poor health outcomes. Low self-efficacy, depression, and low social support are associated with poor self-care, but knowledge about these relationships in heart failure is limited. Secondary data analysis of cross-sectional data from 346 adults with heart failure measuring self-efficacy, depressive symptoms, social support, and self-care adherence was conducted. Tests of mediat…
Fatalism Moderates the Relationship Between Family History of Cardiovascular Disease and Engagement in Health‐Promoting Behaviors Among At‐Risk Rural Kentuckians
PURPOSE: In rural communities that experience high rates of cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality, family history education may enhance risk awareness and support engagement in healthy behaviors but could also engender fatalism. This study was conducted to assess if the relationship between family history and adherence to healthy lifestyle behaviors is moderated by fatalism. METHODS: Baseline data were obtained from 1,027 adult par…
Depressive symptoms, health-related quality of life, and cardiac event-free survival in patients with heart failure
Rural Appalachian Perspectives on Heart Health
Comprehensive intervention guided by a social ecological framework is needed to address CVD risk reduction in Appalachian Kentucky communities
The Relationship among Young Adult College Students’ Depression, Anxiety, Stress, Demographics, Life Satisfaction, and Coping Styles
Recent research indicates that young adult college students experience increased levels of depression, anxiety, and stress. It is less clear what strategies college health care providers might use to assist students in decreasing these mental health concerns. In this paper, we examine the relative importance of coping style, life satisfaction, and selected demographics in predicting undergraduates' depression, anxiety, and stress. A total of 508 …
Association of Physical Versus Affective Depressive Symptoms With Cardiac Event–Free Survival in Patients With Heart Failure
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether physical depressive symptoms inflate the association between depressive symptoms as measured with the nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and cardiac event-free survival in patients with heart failure (HF). METHODS: A total of 210 patients with HF were recruited from HF clinics affiliated with two academic medical centers. The PHQ-9 was used to assess levels of depressive symptoms. Cardiac event-free sur…
Comparison of Health-Related Quality of Life Between American and Taiwanese Heart Failure Patients
Few investigators have compared health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in heart failure (HF) patients from different countries. The purposes of this study were to compare HRQOL between American ( n = 87) and Taiwanese ( n = 88) HF patients and to determine factors associated with HRQOL in both groups. In this cross-sectional survey, HRQOL was measured using the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire. American patients rated their HRQOL…
