Abstract
Background: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) predispose a woman to maternity-related cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, there is limited literature on HDP among women of African descent in Canada.
Methods and design: A convergent mixed-method study will be used to investigate the intersection of self-reported HDP risks in women of African descent in Canada with a history of a HDP (quantitative, cross-sectional survey) and explore the perception and experiences of women of African descent living in Canada with a history of a HDP in relation to the intersection of risk factors (critical qualitative inquiry, interviews). Quantitative analysis will use SPSS V. 27.0 and thematic analysis will be conducted using NVivo V. 12. A joint display will be used to combine the quantitative and qualitative results.
Discussion: Through the lens of intersectionality, the proposed study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the intersection of risks for HDP among women of African descent in Canada with a history of HDP. Furthermore, results could inform future strategies to reduce cardiovascular disease risks.

背景:妊娠期高血压疾病(HDP)使妇女易患与妊娠相关的心血管疾病和死亡率。然而,关于加拿大非裔妇女HDP的文献有限。方法和设计:一项融合混合方法研究将用于调查有HDP病史的加拿大非洲裔妇女自我报告的HDP风险的交集(定量、横断面调查),并探讨生活在加拿大有HDP病史的非洲裔妇女的感知和经历与风险因素的交集(关键定性调查、访谈)。定量分析将使用SPSS V. 27.0,专题分析将使用NVivo V. 12。将使用联合显示器将定量和定性结果结合起来。讨论:通过交叉性的视角,拟议的研究旨在全面了解有HDP病史的加拿大非洲裔妇女患HDP风险的交叉点。此外,研究结果可以为未来降低心血管疾病风险的策略提供信息。试验注册号:在开放科学框架中注册如下:https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/R6CKY。
期刊介绍:
Frontiers? Which frontiers? Where exactly are the frontiers of cardiovascular medicine? And who should be defining these frontiers?
At Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine we believe it is worth being curious to foresee and explore beyond the current frontiers. In other words, we would like, through the articles published by our community journal Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, to anticipate the future of cardiovascular medicine, and thus better prevent cardiovascular disorders and improve therapeutic options and outcomes of our patients.
