Abstract
Abstract Aim. This study aimed to examine the effect of education by video self-assessment on nurses’ knowledge and performance about cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Background.Cardiopulmonary arrest is one of the main medical emergencies and one of the major causes of death around the world. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is the critical components of basic life support in response tocardiopulmonary arrest. The success ofcardiopulmonary resuscitationrequiresproficiencyandperformance of resuscitation group. Method. This was a clinical trial study conducted on 80 nurses that were randomly divided into experimental and control group. Participants in control group received traditional training and experimental group experienced video self-assessment after traditional training. Knowledge on CPR was evaluated with a valid questionnaire including multiple choice questions. Psycho-motor skills were measured through a visual checklist observing CPR performance of the participants on a manikin. Outcome variables were measured three times (before, immediately after, and two months after training). Data were analyzed by the SPSS through repeated measures analysis. Findings. Comparing the mean score of knowledge between the groups at before, immediately after, and 2 months after training did not show any statistical significant difference. Immediately, and two months after intervention, the mean score of performance of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of control group. Conclusion.Education by Video self-assessment is an effective method to improve nurses’ performance in CPR.

Abstract
Abstract
Aim. This study aimed to investigate the effect of clinical follow-up by a nurse on improving self-care behaviors in people with heart failure.
Background. People with heart failure are frequently hospitalized. One of the main reasons for hospitalization of these patients is the individual's inability to perform self-care behaviors. One of the ways that can help to improve self-care is clinical follow-up of these patients by nurses.
Method. This study was a randomized clinical trial which was conducted between October 2015 to May 2016 in Cardiovascular Medical and Research Center in Tehran. Eighty patients were recruited from the patients hospitalized in cardiac intensive care units and randomly assigned to control and experimental groups. Patients in experimental group received clinical follow-up by a nurse every two weeks by phone or in person. The control group received routine follow-up after discharge. Self-care behaviors were assessed by the checklist before intervention and three month after intervention. The data were analyzed in SPSS using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Findings. The mean score of self-care behaviors, before intervention was 2.64±1.62 in control group and 2.02±1.62 in the experimental group, and there was no statistically significant difference between groups. After intervention, the mean score of self-care behaviors in control and experimental group were 2.38±2.50 and 0.93±7.82, respectively and a statistically significant difference was found between the groups (p≤0.0001).
Conclusion: Clinical follow-up by a nurse can improves self-care behaviors in people with heart failure and help to lessen the burden.

Abstract
Aim. This study aimed to examine the effect of education about anti-platelet drugs consumption through telephone follow-up on medication adherence in patients with coronary angioplasty.
Background. Regarding the necessity of proper use of antiplatelet drugs after coronary angioplasty, adherence to treatment is of great importance, and it is considered as one of the major concerns.
Method. This quasi-experimental study was conducted on 392 patients with percutaneous coronary intervention. The patients were divided into two experimental (telephone fallow-up) and control (without telephone fallow-up) group for one year. Adherence to treatment was assessed using the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale before and after percutaneous coronary intervention. Data were analyzed using t-test, chi-square and linear regression model in SPSS software.
Findings. The mean age of patients was 61.71±10.28 years in the experimental group and 60.72±11.14 years in the control group. Changes in the mean score of medication adherence was 53.09±1.37 in the experimental group and 18.09±1.30 in the control group, indicating a statistically significant increase in medication adherence in the experimental group compared with the control group (P=0.001). Non-use of anticoagulants in the experimental group increased until the end of the sixth month of telephone follow-up and then, decreased until the end of the twelfth month of follow-up.
Conclusion. Since changes in the mean score of adherence to medication in the experimental and control groups was significant, it is recommended that follow-up interventions in patients be continued continuously for at least one year.
