项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of death in patients infected with HIV. HIV-infected patients experience higher rates of acute myocardial infarction and at younger ages compared to individuals without HIV infection. To date, no studies have examined whether HIV-infected patients are aware of this increased risk. In addition, no studies have explored the level of risk factor knowledge in this population. Research in adults without HIV infection suggests that knowledge of cardiovascular risk factors significantly influences perception of risk. Additionally, individuals who perceive themselves to be at high risk may be more willing to change negative health behaviors. Therefore, knowledge and risk perception are important factors influencing an individual's willingness to adopt healthy behaviors and reduce their risk of developing heart disease. Thus, the purpose of this study is to describe cardiovascular risk factor knowledge and CVD risk perception in a cohort of HIV-infected adults. The specific aims of this study are to: 1.) examine the influence of cardiovascular risk factor knowledge on perceived risk of cardiovascular disease in a sample of HIV-infected patients; 2.) describe, a.) the actual risk of cardiovascular disease using the Framingham Risk Assessment Tool, b.) the perceived risk of cardiovascular disease, and c.) the level of cardiovascular risk factor knowledge in HIV- infected adults; and 3.) describe the relationship between actual and perceived risk of CVD in HIV-infected persons. A sample of 90 HIV-infected men and women will be recruited from two hospital-based HIV clinics in the Northeast. The Health Belief Model will be used to guide this study. Descriptive statistics, linear regression, and correlation statistics will be used to examine these relationships. It is hoped that the knowledge gained from this study will lead to the development of targeted interventions that will help reduce heart disease in HIV- infected individuals.

描述（由申请人提供）：心血管疾病（CVD）是感染HIV的患者的主要死亡原因。与没有HIV感染的人相比，感染HIV的患者的急性心肌梗死和年轻年龄较高。迄今为止，尚无研究检查感染HIV的患者是否知道这种风险增加。此外，没有研究探讨了该人群中风险因素知识水平。没有艾滋病毒感染的成年人的研究表明，对心血管危险因素的了解会显着影响对风险的看法。此外，认为自己处于高风险的个人可能更愿意改变负面的健康行为。因此，知识和风险感知是影响个人采用健康行为并降低其心脏病风险的重要因素。因此，这项研究的目的是描述一组HIV感染的成年人中的心血管风险因素知识和CVD风险感知。这项研究的具体目的是：1。）检查心血管危险因素知识对感知的HIV感染患者样本中感知的心血管疾病风险的影响； 2.）描述，a。）使用Framingham风险评估工具，b。）心血管疾病的实际风险。）感知的心血管疾病的风险，以及c。）艾滋病毒感染成年人中心血管危险因素知识水平； 3.）描述在感染HIV的人中CVD的实际风险和感知风险之间的关系。将从东北两个基于医院的HIV诊所招募90个HIV的男性和女性样本。健康信念模型将用于指导这项研究。描述性统计，线性回归和相关统计将用于检查这些关系。希望从这项研究中获得的知识将导致有针对性的干预措施的发展，这将有助于减少受HIV感染的人的心脏病。
