Abstract
Aim. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the eight-week concurrent training on quality of life in patients with myocardial infarction.
Background. Myocardial infarction is a major cause of mortality around the world. Myocardial infarction affects patient's quality of life significantly, and it is important to find modalities to reduce harmful effects of the disease.
Method. A randomized clinical trial was conducted. Thirty patients referred to Taleghani hospital, located in Tehran, Iran were recruited and randomly assigned to either experimental (n=15) or control group (n=15). Patients in experimental group trained three times a week for eight weeks in cardiac rehabilitation department of Taleghani hospital. Quality of life was evaluated before and after training by SF-36 questionnaire. In order to analyze the data, SPSS version 18 was used.
Findings. The results showed that when compared with control group, the quality of life in experimental group has increased significantly.

Abstract
Aim. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of social capital in healthy lifestyle promotion among people with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD).
Background. Social capital, one of the social determinants of health, plays an important role in promoting healthy lifestyle among people. Due to increasing incidence of CAD, research is needed about social capital and its relationship with healthy lifestyle among people with CAD.
Method. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 412 patients with CAD, including 239 men and 173 women, in 4 different wards (i.e. men and women internal wards, Diplomat and VIP wards) in Shahid Rajaie Cardiovascular, Medical and Research Center from January 2015 to June 2015. Data were collected by demographic characteristic form, Miyamoto et al. social capital questionnaire and researcher-made questionnaire of healthy lifestyle. Validity and reliability were confirmed by content analysis and Cronbach's alpha methods. The data were analyzed using SPSS with appropriate statistical tests.
Findings. There was a statistically significant difference between social capital in terms of gender (p=0.015). A statistically ssignificant correlation was found between social capital and healthy lifestyle (r=0.418, P<0.01). The highest correlation was observed between social capital and “health responsibility” component (r=0.384, P<0.01) and the lowest correlation was observed between social capital and “abstain from tobacco and alcohol’’ (r=0.107, P<0.01). Among social capital components, “social relationships” had the highest correlation with healthy lifestyle (r=0.511, P<0.01).
Conclusion. Social capital and its components have positive and important effects on healthy lifestyle and its subscales. It is necessary to emphasize community-based programs, such as strengthening social capital in the society to prevent and control chronic diseases, especially heart disease.

Abstract
Aim. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the implementation of clinical surveillance model on the amount of education provided to cardiac patients.
Background. Clinical supervision is a relationship between nurse and observer that promotes the development of nursing professional skills.
Method. This is a quasi-experimental before-after study without control group. The stratified sampling method was used to recruit 300 patients based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The researcher used the data-gathering form to record teachings provided to patients by nurses and also, the rate of their registration in the medical record. Clinical surveillance model included planning, monthly meetings with health education volunteers, classified teaching, daily clinical supervision, follow-up, identifying the weaknesses of nurses in providing training to cardiac patients and corrective actions in a regular and continuous basis for one year. After the intervention, teachings provided to patients by nurses and also, the rate of their registration in the medical record were re-evaluated. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics in SPSS version 19.
Findings. After intervention, the amount of teaching provided by nurses at the time of admission, during hospitalization and at the time of discharge was significantly increased (P<0.001). The findings also showed that the patients were more satisfied with the received teaching after intervention (P<0.001).
Conclusion. Continuous and regular monitoring has a significant role in the amount of education provided to patients by nurses. It is recommended to plan management and supervisory programs to be implemented for nurses involved in patient education.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
Aim. This study aimed at investigating the obstacles to the implementation of evidence-based care from the perspective of the staff nurses in Rajaie Cardiovascular Medical and Research Center, Tehran, Iran
Background. Evidence-based care plays a crucial role in enhancing the nursing care quality due to the up-to-date care measures and procedures, and the cost-effectiveness for patients. However, there are some obstacle to implement it that should be addressed.
Method. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted on 215 nurses from different departments of Rajaie Cardiovascular Medical and Research Center, Tehran, Iran. They were selected using simple random sampling method. The data collection tool was a questionnaire measuring the obstacles to the implementation of evidence-based care. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics in SPSS version 20.
Findings. According to the nursing staff, the obstacles to the implementation of evidence-based care in the management dimension were the insufficient number of staff (80 percent), the large number of patients (71 percent), and the lack of motivation in the staff (68 percent) and in the individual-care dimension the obstacles were the lack of enough time for nurses to study the conducted research (72 percent).
Conclusion. The obstacles to the implementation of evidence-based care are in both individual and managerial areas, so it is suggested to correct arrangement of human resources, holding training workshops and meetings, creating interaction with the centers implementing evidence-based care, and using their life experiences considering the available facilities.
