| Popis: | Purpose This study examined temporal patterns in causal attributions generated by patients with cardiovascular disease before and after cardiac rehabilitation (CR). Design Qualitative, descriptive survey. Methods Eighty-six participants were asked what they believed was the primary cause of their cardiac events. Cardiac attributions were collected at the beginning of CR, at the end of CR, and 15 months after baseline. Findings Content analyses showed that heredity and behavior were the most commonly generated causes. Most participants showed stability in attributions over time, although we found a trend for more participants endorsing behavioral attributions at the end of the study. Conclusions Cardiac attributions remain relatively stable across time. Clinical relevance Cardiac rehabilitation staff should approach patients differently, depending on their causal narratives. Some patients enter CR understanding that behavior played a causal role, whereas some do not. Encouraging appreciation of the importance of behavior in cardiovascular disease onset and recurrence is vital. |
