  • Associations of Immigration Transition to Cardiovascular Symptoms Experienced in Menopausal Transition
    Family & Community Health, 2017
    Co-Authors: Eunok Im, Young Ko, Eunice Chee, Wonshik Chee
    Abstract:

    The purpose of this study was to explore the associations of immigration transition to Cardiovascular Symptoms among 4 major racial/ethnic groups of 1054 midlife women in the United States. This was a secondary analysis of the data from 2 large national survey studies. The instruments included questions on background characteristics and immigration transition and the Cardiovascular Symptom Index for Midlife Women. The data were analyzed using inferential statistics including hierarchical multiple regressions. Immigrants reported fewer numbers (t = 5.268, P < .01) and lower severity scores (t = 5.493, P < .01) of Cardiovascular Symptoms compared with nonimmigrants. Self-reported racial/ethnic identify was a significant factor influencing Cardiovascular Symptoms (P < .01).

  • Racial/Ethnic Differences in Cardiovascular Symptoms in Four Major Racial/Ethnic Groups of Midlife Women: A Secondary Analysis
    Women & Health, 2015
    Co-Authors: Eunok Im, Eunice Chee, Wonshik Chee
    Abstract:

    Ethnic minority midlife women frequently do not recognize Cardiovascular Symptoms that they experience during the menopausal transition. Racial/ethnic differences in Cardiovascular Symptoms are postulated as a plausible reason for their lack of knowledge and recognition of the Symptoms. The purpose of this study was to explore racial/ethnic differences in midlife women’s Cardiovascular Symptoms and to determine the factors related to these Symptoms in each racial/ethnic group. This was a secondary analysis of the data from a larger study among 466 participants, collected from 2006 to 2011. The instruments included questions on background characteristics, health and menopausal status, and the Cardiovascular Symptom Index for Midlife Women. The data were analyzed using inferential statistics, including Poisson regression and logistic regression analyses. Significant racial/ethnic differences were observed in the total numbers and total severity scores of Cardiovascular Symptoms (p < .01). Non-Hispanic Asian...

  • problems with the measures of gastrointestinal and Cardiovascular Symptom frequency in the standard shiftwork index
    Work & Stress, 2002
    Co-Authors: Christian Nicholas Pitsopoulos, Kenneth M Greenwood
    Abstract:

    The measures of gastrointestinal and Cardiovascular health in The Standard Shiftwork Index (SSI; Barton, Costa, Smith, Spelten, Totterdell, and Folkard, 1995) purport to measure the frequency of 19 related Symptoms using a 4-point rating scale, with response categories expressed in terms of a relative frequency: 'almost never', 'quite seldom', 'quite often', and 'almost always'. The present pilot study examined the relationship between frequency ratings of 11 gastrointestinal and 8 Cardiovascular Symptoms made on the SSI 4-point scale, and ratings of the same Symptoms made on an alternative 9-point rating scale, which had response categories that were expressed in terms of an absolute value of Symptom frequency (e.g. 'once a week'). Results obtained from a sample of 56 non-shiftworkers showed that the correlations between the two response formats were not high for any of the 11 gastrointestinal or 8 Cardiovascular Symptoms. Three of the relationships were non-significant. In addition, substantial variabil...
