Key result
The Post Event-Cardiovascular Risk Perception Survey was validated using exploratory factor analysis, identifying 16 latent factors that explained 68% of the variance in cardiovascular disease risk perception.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to cross-validate the Post Event-Cardiovascular Risk Perception Survey (PE-CRPS) among cardiac rehabilitation patients who experienced a cardiac event.
Is the Post Event-Cardiovascular Risk Perception Survey (PE-CRPS) valid for assessing cardiac risk perceptions among cardiac rehabilitation patients?
Cross-Sectional (n=261)
No
Is the Post Event-Cardiovascular Risk Perception Survey (PE-CRPS) valid for assessing cardiac risk perceptions among cardiac rehabilitation patients?
The Post Event-Cardiovascular Risk Perception Survey (PE-CRPS) is a valid instrument for assessing cardiovascular risk perception in cardiac rehabilitation patients.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Supports PE-CRPS for research on post-event risk perception; leaves open clinical adoption pending prospective validation.
Background: By 2035, nearly half of U.S. adults will have some form of heart disease. COVID-19 altered the delivery of care for cardiac rehabilitation patients who experienced a cardiac event.Objective: To cross-validate the Post Event-Cardiovascular Risk Perception Survey (PE-CRPS).Methods: A cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted to validate CVD risk perception survey. Explorative factor analysis (EFA) was utilized to explore the factors, validate the scale, and measure variance in the data.Results: Of the 261 individuals, majority were males (71%, mean age: 65.77 years), Caucasian-Non-Hispanic origin (94%) with co morbidities (hypertension, hyper-lipidemia and diabetes). EFA identified 16 latent (eigenvalues >1) with 45 observed variables to measure CVD risk perception. Factors explained 68% of the variance. Bartlett’s test of sphericity was significant (p=.001), indicating variances not significant and the factors correlated.Conclusions: PE-CRPS was valid and can be used to assess cardiac risk perceptions among cardiac rehabilitation individuals.

Prue-Owens et al. (2024) conducted a cross-sectional in Known heart disease (post cardiac event) (n=261). Post Event-Cardiovascular Risk Perception Survey (PE-CRPS) was evaluated on Validity of the PE-CRPS measured by Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) (p=0.001). The Post Event-Cardiovascular Risk Perception Survey was validated using exploratory factor analysis, identifying 16 latent factors that explained 68% of the variance in cardiovascular disease risk perception.
