Data were analysed using linear regression to compare personality constructs between patients with and without BICs. Logistic repression and receiver operating characteristic curves were used to predict patients with BICs based on other PROs. A total of 330 patients completed the survey. Five patients were excluded due to re-operations leaving 325 patients in the analyses. A total of 20% reported BICs at the recommended cut-off at 36 points.

The PRO instruments were not able to predict patients with BICs, indicating that the ICD-BICQ provides independent relevant clinical information.

Migration, coupled with changes in dietary habits, socio-economic factors, and cultural adjustments, contributes to a heightened risk of CVD among African immigrants. This risk is compounded by a lack of targeted preventive interventions and culturally tailored programmes, as well as challenges related to language barriers, health literacy, and digital literacy. Addressing CVD prevention access gap among African immigrants requires a multifaceted approach that includes culturally tailored programmes, improved community engagement, and targeted policy development. Such intervention programmes and policies can address health challenges faced by various migrant populations, not only African immigrants. Future research should focus on understanding the impact of migration on health behaviours overtime and developing effective interventions strategies to reduce the risk of CVD in this underserved population.</p>","PeriodicalId":93997,"journal":{"name":"European journal of cardiovascular nursing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143054147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
