Most studies have thereby emphasized acculturation in social and medical contexts after serious cardiac events. However, interactions between acculturation and religious coping are some of the least studied. Limited knowledge exists regarding how these influence CVD patients’ lifestyle behavioursand religious?coping approaches from the Arabic community in Ottawa.  \nAim: To explore and understand the experiences of Arab individuals diagnosed with CVD regarding the impact of acculturation and religious coping.  \nMethods: A mixed-method approach with three studies: qualitative interviews with 17 Arab health promoters, a cross-sectional survey of 63 individuals from Arab communities who had either had a cardiac event or who were at high risk for CVD, and in-depth interviews with 10 male Arab individuals from Study 2, who reported experiencing cardiac events while living in Canada.  \nThe results: Arab health promoters described how acculturation and religious beliefs were intertwined and affected Arab immigrants’healthy lifestyles. The major themes included: “Culture First!”;“Religiosity Alone Does Not Make You Healthy!”; “It Is Not Easy!”; and “We Are Not Young!”  \nThe findings showed that participants were more aligned with Arabic than Canadian culture. They tended to be religious; indeed, their nutritional behaviour was healthier than exercise.  \nFrom 10 participant interviews, five major themes emerged:“Stressful Events or Cardiac Events!”; “It Was a Dreamlike Event!”; “Recognizing Risk Factors Is Not Enough to Avoid Them,”; “Religious Coping on Outcomes,” and “Cardiac Rehabilitation Programs: Who Refers, Who Participates?”  \nConclusion: Acculturation level plays an essential role in Arab immigrants’ beliefs and behaviours regarding their health status and their experiences in preventing CVD risk factors or in recovery after cardiac events. Religious coping seems to be a way to manage stress and mental burdens.","cbCaie2nF1FihyJZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaie2nF1FihyJZ","pdf",46055,"English","# Background\n# Aim\n# Methods\n# Results\n# Conclusion","[{\"question\":\"What question does the study investigate?\",\"answer\":\"How acculturation level and religious coping impact the experiences of Arab individuals diagnosed with CVD, including recovery-related and lifestyle behaviors.\"},{\"question\":\"What methods are used in the study?\",\"answer\":\"A mixed-method approach uses qualitative interviews with Arab health promoters, a cross-sectional survey of Arab community members, and in-depth interviews with male Arab participants who reported cardiac events in Canada.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the key findings about acculturation and religion?\",\"answer\":\"Participants were more aligned with Arabic than Canadian culture, tended to be religious, and showed patterns where nutritional behavior was healthier than exercise; acculturation and religious beliefs were intertwined in shaping healthy lifestyles.\"}]","The complex roles of acculturation and religious coping in shaping recovery experiences after cardiac events among Arab individuals in Ottawa | PDF",1790728570]
