Abstract
Abstract Aim. This study was done to assess coronary artery angiography results in ACS patients referred to KashanShahidBeheshti hospital. Background.Coronary artery disease is one of the most common diseases with the highest mortality rates in developed and developing countries. Method. This is a cross-sectional study, which was conducted using existent data through convenience sampling of 435 patients. The data were gathered using patient's records using tools including questionnaires and checklist. Variables include age, sex, diagnosis, physician name, left ventricle ejection fraction, dominant side of perfusion of cardiac muscle, type of physician recommendation and involved vessels. Finally, data was statistically analyzed using SPSS software, 16.0. Findings. The results of this study showed 56.1% of cases had mild (non-pathological) disorder and others (43.9%) had a severe stenosis in their coronary arteries. Also, 21% of cases had three vessel disease. Also, left anterior descending artery (LAD) was more stenoticthan the other arteries. Conclusion.According to the results of this study and high frequencies of non pathologic cases, it is recommended that cheaper diagnostic methods such as accurate clinical examination get used for patient selection

Abstract
Aim. This study aimed to examine the
effect of damask rose on sleep
quality of patients undergoing angiography admitted to cardiac care unit.
Background. Sleep is one of the basic human
needs and determine the health and recovery. Most patients hospitalized in
cardiac care unit experience some degrees of sleep disorder.
Method. In this double-blind clinical trial,
90 patients were randomly allocated to experimental (n=45) and control (n=45)
group. Data collection instrument consisted of demographic data and St. Mary's
Hospital Sleep Questionnaire (SMHSQ). In experimental group, damask rose
extract was given by oral route, 15 drops every 8 hours. The patients in
control group received placebo by oral route, 15 drops every 8 hours. Data were
collected, before and after intervention and were analyzed in SPSS 16 using descriptive and
inferential statistic.
Findings. Both groups were homogeneous in
terms of demographic characteristics. There was no statistically significant
between groups in terms of sleep quality, but, a statistically significant
difference was found between sleep quality, before and after intervention, in
each group.
Conclusion. A significant difference before and
after treatment in both groups can show that any effort by the nursing staff
even drop placebo may have an effect on sleep quality. Damask rose extract was
not found to have a significant effect on quality of sleep in control group compared
with the control group. It is recommended to replicate the study with longer
duration of intervention and/ or changing the method of damask rose
administration.

Abstract
Aim. The aim of this study was to review studies about advantages and disadvantages of transradial and transfemoral coronary angiography. Transradial coronary angiography procedure is newer than transfemoral approach and inadequate knowledge and experience in this area needs to be considered for minimizing possible complications. Background. An increasing trend of cardiovascular diseases is of great importance. Although any different methods have been suggested for diagnosing coronary artery diseases, but coronary angiography remains as the best diagnostic and therapeutic method. Transradial and transfemoral coronary angiography as two approaches for diagnosing coronary artery diaseses have their own advantages and disadvantages. Method. In this review study, various databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, AHA journal and Elsevier were searched out by Persian and English forms of the keywords “Transradial coronary angiography”, “Transfemoral coronary angiography”, “Nursing care in coronary angiography” and “complications of coronary angiography”. Findings. The findings are presented as follows: Comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of both radial and femoral approach, nursing care in radial angiography procedures and comparing patients’ satisfaction of experiencing radial or femoral angiography. Conclusion. If the preparation and care before, during and after coronary angiography is properly settled and there is trained staff and physicians, it is suggested to use transradial approach for coronary angiography because of its fewer side effects and greater convenience the patients have with.

Abstract
Aim. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of changing position on back pain after cardiac catheterization.
Background. Prolonged bed rest after coronary angiography produces back pain.
Methods. This was a quasi-experimental study conducted on 98 patients who had been admitted for coronary angiography in Shahid Beheshti Hospital of Kashan, Iran, in the year 2014. Patients were randomly allocated to intervention and control group. In this study, data collection form consisted of three sections including demographic information, numerical pain scale, and bleeding and hematoma control checklist. Patients in the control group received routine care after coronary angiography including bed rest for 6 hours without movement of effected limb. However, patients’ position in the intervention group was intermittently changed during the first 6 hours after catheterization. Patients in the intervention and control group were assessed in terms of severity of pain, and bleeding and hematoma, immediately after moving to the ward, and then two, four and six hours after angiography. The data were analyzed in SPSS version 11.5 using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Findings. The result showed that there were statistically significant differences between the intervention and control group in terms of mean score of back pain immediately after moving to the ward (p≤0.0001), and 4 hours (p≤0.0001) and 6 hours (p≤0.0001) after angiography.
Conclusion. In this study, changing position of patients after angiography reduced back pain in patients without causing any complication like hematoma and bleeding; therefore, it can be concluded that applying this intervention could be considered as a convenient way to relieve back pain in patients after coronary angiography.

Abstract
Aim. This study aimed to assess knowledge and practice of nurses about nursing care before and after cardiac catheterization
Background. The most common cause of death in most countries around the world is cardiovascular disease. Coronary angiography is an invasive procedure that is used to diagnose and/or treatment of coronary artery disease. Considering complications of cardiac catheterization, nursing care is of great importance in preventing and identifying complications. Standards are the least acceptable, expected and achievable levels of performance based on which it is possible to evaluate performance. Nurses and health care providers should work according to standard protocols.
Method. This descriptive analytical study was conducted on 65 nurses who were selected by census sampling method and based on inclusion criteria from cardiac catheterization wards of selected hospitals in Tehran, Iran. Data were collected by a questionnaire and a checklist prepared in accordance with the standards provided by the Ministry of Health and the Iranian Nursing Organization. The data were analyzed in SPSS version 21 using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Findings. Most of participants were female (63 percent). The mean score of knowledge about nursing care before and after angiography were 10.95±1.30 and 15.23±1.88, respectively. The mean score of performance about nursing care before and after angiography were 26.16±2.92 and 25.77±4.78, respectively; according to these findings the knowledge and practice of nurses about nursing care before and after angiography were evaluated as good. There was no statistically significant difference between female and male nurses in terms of knowledge and practice. Also, no statistically significant relationship was found between the knowledge and practice, before and after angiography.
Conclusion. Although most nurses had good scores of knowledge and practice about nursing care before and after angiography, but due to lack of some principles of care in their performance, further studies is recommended. Also, it is necessary for managers to provide nurses with care protocols.

Abstract
Aim. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of bed angle on back pain, urinary retention and vascular complications after coronary angiography.
Background. To minimize the severity of low back pain and urine retention after angiography, modalities such as changing position, changing bed angle, and early out of bed have been used, but there is still controversy about the appropriate bed angle that reduces cardiovascular complications and at the same time provides patient comfort.
Method. This study was a randomized clinical trial conducted on 120 patients after angiography in cardiology and angiography wards of Shahid Sadoughi Hospital, Yazd, Iran, in 2018. A total of 120 patients who were candidates for angiography were randomly divided into control and experimental group. After angiography, for the control group, the bed angle was zero, and for the experimental group, the bed angle was set at 30 degrees, from entry to the ward for 4 hours. Data collection tools included demographic and clinical information questionnaire, numerical scale for measuring severity of pain, hematoma and hemorrhage recording form and urinary retention observation and recording form. Data analysis was performed in SPSS Version 20 using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Findings. The mean score of back pain in the experimental group, immediately and four hours after angiography was 0.166±0.767 and 0.216±55.0, respectively, which was lower than that of control group (0.233±0.615 and 0.433±0.927, respectively), but the difference was not statistically significant. Also, there was no statistically significant difference between groups in terms of urinary retention, immediately and 2 hours after angiography. There was no statistically significant difference between groups in terms of vascular complications (hematoma and hemorrhage).
Conclusion. The results of this study did not show any evidence that 30 degrees bed angle adjustment have any different effect on pain severity, urinary retention, and vascular complications of the zero degree bed angle. It is recommended that after angiography, the angle of the bed be set to zero or 30 degrees according to the patient's comfort and preference.

Abstract
Aim. This study aimed to compare the effect of spaced and mass education on stress and anxiety in candidates for angiography.
Background. Regarding the role of education in reducing stress and anxiety before angiography, comparison of the effect of spaced and mass education seems to be important in managing stress and anxiety in people experiencing this procedure.
Method. In this interventional study, statistical population consisted of candidates for angiography referred to selected hospitals of Isfahan in 2018. Sixty candidates for non-emergency angiography were selected by convenience sampling and were randomly divided into two groups of 30. The data collection instruments were the questionnaires demographic information, Cohen`s Perceived Stress (PSS14) and Spielberger`s Anxiety Inventory. Initially, all three questionnaires were completed by the participants. Then the education was provided by the researcher to the participants of the mass education group individually and face to face for 25 to 45 minutes (according to the participants tolerance) and in the end of the session, a 5 to 10 minutes time were given for answering participants’ questions. In the spaced education group, the educational content was provided by the researcher in three stages of 10 to 15 minutes and in groups of 3 to 6 participants. After the training of both groups, stress and anxiety were measured again by the questionnaires. Data were analyzed in SPSS version 16 using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Findings. Before and after intervention, there was no statistically significant difference between two groups in terms of mean scores of stress, state anxiety and trait anxiety. After intervention, a statistically significant decrease in mean scores of stress, state anxiety and trait anxiety were found in each group compared with before intervention.
Conclusion. Regarding the similar effect of spaced and mass education on stress and anxiety in candidates for angiography, it is recommended to use mass education method for candidates before angiography, since it is more cost effective and time saving than spaced education method.
