Abstract
Aim. The purpose of the present study was to examine the predicting role of worry, anger rumination and social loneliness in to coronary artery disease.
Background. Adjustment to heart disease, as an stressful experience, is a difficult process and involves the patient in serious issues.
Method. A total of 327 people with coronary artery disease (138 women, 189 men) participated in this descriptive correlational study. Participants were asked to complete the Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ), Anger Rumination Scale (ARS), Social Loneliness Scale (SLS), and Adjustment to Illness Scale (AIS). Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and stepwise regression.
Findings. Worry, anger rumination and social loneliness was found to have a statistically significant and negative correlation with adjustment to coronary artery disease; that is, with an increase in worry, anger rumination and social loneliness, the level of adjustment to coronary artery disease is reduced. According to Regression analysis, of the three analyzed variables, worry and social loneliness were predictors of adjustment to coronary artery disease, so that worry and worry with social loneliness predicted 35 and 41 percent of the variance of adjustment to coronary artery disease, respectively (p<0.01) .
Conclusion. Taking worry and social loneliness into consideration when planning preventive programs is a necessity. At an interventional level, together with the routine medical treatments, psychological interventions for worry and social loneliness has a great necessity as well.

Abstract
Aim. The aim of this study was to determine the moderating role of affective temperament in the relationship between biomarkers (troponin, white blood cell count, and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio) and the severity of coronary artery disease.
Background. Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death among adults worldwide and is considered as an inflammatory disease. Recent studies, in addition to biological factors, have focused on the role of psychological factors in the incidence and severity of this disease.
Method. In this study, 200 patients (145 males, 55 females) with coronary artery disease admitted to Shahid Rajaei Hospital in Tehran in 2018-2019 were selected by continuous sampling. Participants were asked to complete the positive and negative affectivity scale (Besharat, 2014). Also, the number of biomarkers was assessed through blood tests and the number of involved vessels was assessed through angiography and diagnosis by a specialist physician.
Findings. The results of hierarchical multiple regression showed that in the first step, 62 percent of the variance of coronary artery disease was predicted by biomarkers, and by entering the interaction between predictor variables (severity of coronary artery disease) and moderating variables (positive affectivity and negative affectivity), explanation of variance of the coronary artery disease increased by 9 percent and reached to 71 percent.
Conclusion. Based on the findings of the study, affective temperament affects the relationship between biomarkers and the severity of coronary artery disease, and therefore, as a psychological factor, could plays an important role in preventing coronary artery disease and decrease the number of deaths and the annual cost of this disease.

Abstract
Abstract
Aim. This study was conducted with the aim of identifying different educational approaches to self-care and their outcomes in elderly patients with hypertension.
Background. The increase in life expectancy and decrease in fertility rates have led to a growth in the elderly population worldwide. High blood pressure, one of the most common chronic diseases among the elderly, is on the rise. Engaging patients in self-care activities is considered as an effective way to control high blood pressure, requiring a shift in patient understanding, attitude, and education.
Method. This review was conducted using searching out the keywords, self-care, elderly, high blood pressure, hypertension, and patient education in databases, Web of Science, Scopus, SID, MagIran, PubMed, and Google Scholar from 2010 to 2024. Inclusion criteria consisted of articles published in Farsi and English with full-text availability, resulting in the evaluation of 14 articles.
Findings. The study revealed that education based on various approaches such as health belief, common sense, interactive and blended, Leventhal, multimedia, and virtual space had a positive and significant impact on blood pressure control. However, the specific approach with the most impact remains unclear, though studies suggest the health belief model has a greater influence.
Conclusion. Based on these findings, it is recommended that patient education is conducted based on educational approaches and self-learning models. This recommendation should be considered by hospital patient education units and nurses.
