Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCardiac Patients’ Causal Attributions for Coronary Heart DiseaseLeila Gholizadeh, Yenna Salamonson, Mehrdad Heydari, Patricia M. DavidsonAccurate casual attributions for CHD have been associated with more congruent risk reduction behaviours and improved health outcomes. This article aimed to assess causal attributions for Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) of Middle Eastern women diagnosed with heart disease using different risk targets and compare these attributions with participants’ actual. Using a survey methodology, 121 female patients in cardiac units of … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 20 Jul 2013 · 6,907 accessesView PDFCite
