Background. patient’s family members experience high levels of depression, anxiety and stress during coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Informational and emotional support of family members during surgery may have significant effect on reducing their psychological distress and enabling them to better support of the patient. Method. This semi-experimental study was conducted on 104 relatives of patients. They were recruited in the study with regard to the inclusion criteria and assigned to either experimental (n=52) or control (n=52) group. The experimental group received supportive nursing program including informational and emotional support. The control group only received routine interventions. Data were collected by demographic form and modified Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS). The data were analyzed by Chi-squire and T-test using SPSS software, version 21. Findings. There were no statistically significant differences between control and intervention group regarding the mean scores of depression, anxiety and stress before surgery. After intervention (at the end of surgery) experimental group reported significantly lower levels of depression, anxiety and stress (P<0.0001). Conclusion. According to the finding, supportive nursing program could reduce depression, anxiety and stress of family members of patients during coronary artery bypass graft surgery so, we suggest this program as an effective intervention to support family members during coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Abstract
Aim. This study aimed to examine the effect of intraoperative progress report on anxiety of family members of patients under cardiac catheterization.
Background. Diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for CAD produce considerable anxiety in family members of the patient. Simple and clear explanations about physical and emotional status of the patient may decrease family members’ anxiety.
Method. This quasi-experimental study was conducted on 90 family members (45 in control and 45 in experimental group) of patients referred to angiography department of Imam Khomeini Hospital, Tehran. Intraoperative progress report was implemented for experimental group. Data collection tools were demographic form and Spielberger questionnaire. The data were analyzed in SPSS version 17, using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Findings. Before intervention, there was no statistically significant difference between anxiety scores for experimental (57.64±6.52) and group (50.11±8.32). After intervention, anxiety score in experimental group (46.22±5.18) was significantly lower than that of control group (57.48±7.20) (P<0.0001). Within-group comparisons showed that changes in anxiety score was statistically significant in both groups, it is to be noted that changes in anxiety score in experimental group was decreasing, while for the control group was increasing.
Conclusion. According to the findings, intraoperative progress report during angiography in a simple and clear manner that is understandable for family members may decrease their anxiety. It is suggested to include this supportive intervention as part of nursing care delivered by nurses in angiography departments.

Abstract
Aim. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship of family members’ health literacy and performance in face of myocardial infarction.
Background. Myocardial infarction is one of the most important causes of death and disability in developed and developing countries. Proper performance of patients' attendance in early hours of myocardial infarction event plays an important role in reducing mortality and morbidity. Health literacy is also known as one of the major determinants of understanding information about health.
Method. In this descriptive-correlational study, 286 family members of patients experiencing myocardial infarction that witnessed the vent were recruited in the study by convenience sampling method and based on inclusion criteria of reading and writing literacy and age over 18 years old. Data were collected using a demographic form, Iranian adult health literacy questionnaire (HELIA) and the questionnaire performance during myocardial infarction. Data were analyzed in SPSS version 22 using descriptive statistics (frequency distribution, mean, standard deviation) and inferential statistics (mean comparison, correlation and regression tests).
Findings. Health literacy mean score (61.49±21.05) showed an adequate level. “Assessment skills” and “decision making and application of health information” had, respectively, the lowest (52.68±25.30) and the highest (68.07±19.87) mean score among health literacy dimensions. There was a statistically significant relationship of health literacy with age, education and medical profession in the family (P≤0.0001). Only 17.98 percent of the participants had a good level of performance (Scores 6.8 to 10). The history of myocardial infarction in patient and the duration of the patient transition from the onset of pain to arrival to the hospital showed a statistically significant relationship with performance, meaning that family members of patients with a history of myocardial infarction were able to transfer their patient to the hospital in less than half an hour (P≤0.0001). A statistically significant relationship was found between health literacy and performance; those with higher level of health literacy had better performance. Of the health literacy domains, only understanding had a significant relationship with performance (P=0.004).
Conclusion. Although the mean score of health literacy was adequate, the participants hadn't good performance. Therefore, improving the performance of community and family members by health service providers including nurses, mass media, practitioners, and health promotion planners for educational interventions is recommended. Proper planning to increase specific health literacy can prevent adverse outcomes in this area.
