Abstract
Aim. This study was conducted to examine the relationship of marital satisfaction and self-care behavior in people with chronic heart failure
Background. Chronic heart failure is one of the most important problems in public health and it would impose heavy costs on society and family. Self-care plays an important role in managing heart failure and can be influenced by social support. The patients receive the highest level of social support from their families.
Method. In this descriptive study, 251 patients were selected by convenience sampling method. The instruments were Enrich marital satisfaction questionnaire, and The European Heart Failure Self-care Behavior  (EHFSCB). Collected data were analyzed in SPSS version 16 using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Findings. The results showed that 58.8 percent of participants were male, with a mean age of 59.66 years. The mean score of marital satisfaction was 145.6±41.98. Most participants (46.9 percent) had partial marital satisfaction. The mean score of self-care was 34.5±12.24 and most participants (41.2 percent) reported good self-care. There was a statistically significant negative correlation between the marital satisfaction and self-care scores.
Conclusion. Due to the positive effect of self-care behaviors on marital satisfaction and because most people with chronic heart failure have partial marital satisfaction, it is recommended to study factors influencing these components. It is suggested to support and teach patients and their families in order to improve marital satisfaction and promote self-care behaviors in these patients.

Abstract
Aim. This study was conducted to examine the effect of self-management program on major advers cardiac complications of coronary angioplasty in patients referred to Tohid Hospital in Sanandaj, Iran, in 2018.
Background. Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death in people over 35 years of age in Iran. Coronary angioplasty is one of the most successful treatment techniques in people with coronary artery disease with some unwanted cardiac complications. Reducing these complications is one of the important goals of health care systems.
Method. This was a quasi-experimental study that was conducted on 101 people with coronary artery disease undergoing angioplasty. The samples were selected by convenience sampling method based on inclusion criteria, and then randomly assigned to the experimental (n=51) and control (n=50) group. Data collection tools included a demographic information questionnaire and a checklist of coronary angioplasty complications. The intervention was implemented in sessions of 45 to 60 minutes duration three times per week in the presence of a family member and a copy was handed in. This intervention was continued for six months in the experimental group. During intervention period, the patient’s condition and the implementation of the self-management program were followed up by phone. The control group received only routine care and the experimental group received both routine care and self-management program. Cardiac complications were assessed in the first, third and sixth months following intervention. Data were analyzed in SPSS version 21 using Chi-square, t-test and generalized estimation equations.
Findings. The groups were homogenous in terms of age, gender, marital status, level of education, place of residence, employment status, body mass index, number of children, history of hyperlipidemia, history of diabetes, history of hypertension, history of alcohol consumption, history of heart attack, and type of artery involved. Generalized estimation equations showed that after intervention, the rate of complications of target vessel revascularization (P=0.04), second coronary angioplasty, (P=0.005) and coronary artery bypass graft surgery (P=0.003) were significantly different between the control and experimental groups. However, there were no statistically significant difference between groups in terms of recurrent angina complications (P=0.066), myocardial infarction (P=0.069) and death (P=0.019).
Conclusion. The implementation of self-management program can reduce complications after coronary artery angioplasty. It is recommended for nurses to apply self-management programs and follow-up after discharge  for this group of patients.

Abstract
Aim. The purpose of this study is to review studies that have investigated the effect of CardioPulmonary Cerebral Resuscitation (CPCR) training on nurses' knowledge and performance.
Background. CPCR is a systematic procedure and a set of targeted measures have been used by nurses to restore the vital functions of the body's central organs, such as the heart, lungs, and brain. The application of teaching is a suggested method for improving the knowledge and skills of nurses PCPR in most published articles. 
Method. In this r eview study, a comprehensive search of scientific databases and sear ch engines such as Science Direct, PubMed, Cochrane, Medline, SID, Scopus, CINAHL, OVID, Iran Doc and Magiran using the keywords cardiopulmonary resuscitation, nurses, practice, knowledge in both Persian and English languages was done to find articles published between 2010 and 2022.
Results: CPCR training in both face-to-face and virtual form can be effective on the knowledge and performance of nurses, and in all studies there was a significant relationship between the scores before and after the training. The implementation of these trainings should be repeated for nurses permanently and every six months.
Conclusion: Basic training can lead to increasing the knowledge of nurses in the field of basic and advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Based on this, regular theoretical and practical workshops and training courses are recommended.

Abstract
Aim. This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of family-centered self-care program based on home visits on adherence to physical activity of patients with acute coronary syndrome
Background. Coronary artery disease is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases. The importance of physical activity as an important factor in controlling and preventing the recurrence of the disease in these patients. Adherence to physical activity in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) has a significant effect on preventing re-hospitalization and reducing complications.
Method. In this semi-experimental study conducted in 2021-2002, 72 people with ACS were randomly divided into experimental and control groups (32 people in each group). For the control group, routine interventions, and for the experimental group, family-centered self-care was delivered. Data collection tools were demographic questionnaire and Beck's physical activity level questionnaire.
Findings. Before intervention, there was no statistically significant difference between groups in the mean score of adherence to physical activity. Immediately after the intervention, the mean score in the experimental and control group was 6.31±2.01 and 5.98±1.21, respectively, indicating a statistical significant difference between groups. One and half month after the intervention, the mean score in the experimental and control group was 9.14±1.44 and 78±0.9, respectively, showing a statistical significant difference between groups.
Conclusion. Family-centered self-care in patients with acute coronary syndrome is effective on adherence to physical activity of these patients. Therefore, it is recommended to use this educational method as one of the effective and non-pharmacological methods for people with ACS in medical centers and at home to improve the quality of life among these patients.
