Abstract
Abstract
Aim. This study was conducted with the aim of
determining the effect of peer education on quality of life in people with
heart failure.
Background. Heart failure is one of the most common
chronic diseases and is associated with decreased quality of the patients'
life. Considering the positive role of education in improving the quality of
life, it is important to find a suitable learning method to improve the quality
of life of these patients.
Method. In this quasi-experimental study, 60 heart
failure patients were selected using convenience sampling method during 2016.
Four peer to peer training sessions were conducted during one month. A Persian
translation of the Ferrans and Powers’ quality of life questionnaire was used for evaluating
the quality of life of the patients, before and one month after the
intervention. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the
data.
Findings. The mean score of the quality of life in heart
failure patients was 134.5±2.4 before the intervention and 163.2±8.7, one month
after intervention. Paired t-test showed that peer education had a
statistically significant effect on quality of life in people with heart
failure patients (P≤00001).
Conclusion. Peer education can improve and enhance the
quality of life of heart failure patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Aim. This study was performed with the aim of determining the effect of peer education on self-efficacy in people with heart failure.
Background. Heart failure is a clinical syndrome which may have negative effects on self-efficacy. Given the positive role of education in improving self-efficacy, probing a suitable educational method to improve the self-efficacy of these patients is important.
Method. In this clinical trial study, 60 people with heart failure were recruited and randomly allocated to experimental (n=30) and control group (n=30). After preparing the peer group, four peer to peer training sessions were conducted during one month. Persian translation the self-efficacy questionnaire was used for data collection, which was completed by both groups, before, just and one month after the intervention. Data were analyzed in SPSS, version 21 and P values less than 0.05 were considered significant.
Findings. No statistically significant difference was observed between groups in overall self-efficacy score before the intervention. The mean score of self-efficacy, immediately after the intervention was 50.3±7.21 and24.9 ±1.7, in the experimental and control group, respectively, and a statistically significant difference was seen between the mean scores of the groups (P≤0001). The mean score of self-efficacy, one month after the intervention was 48.8±1.2 and 23.4±4.6, in the experimental and control group, respectively and paired t-tests showed a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the groups (P≤0001)
Conclusion. Based on this study, Peer education intervention can be a beneficial educative-supportive approach and enhance the self-efficacy life of heart failure patients. Therefore, using this method is recommended in patients with heart failure patients.

Abstract
Aim. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of peer education on the anxiety - of post Coronary Artery Bypass Graft patients and caregivers
Background. Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery experience moderate to high anxiety, which has also been reported among their family members. Studies have shown that educating patients and their family caregivers has in many cases reduced their anxiety. Peer education and research on the effect of peers is of great importance in promoting therapeutic and caring goals.
Method. This randomized clinical trial study was performed in year 2018 in surgery wards of Rajaee Cardiovascular Medical and Research center. In this study, 60 family caregivers of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery and their respective patients were recruited at the time of discharge from intensive care unit and entering into the surgical ward. The subjects were randomly assigned to experimental and control group. Data collection tools included demographic information questionnaire and Spielberger's "State and trait anxiety" form. Initially, patients' family caregivers who were selected as peers were trained by the researcher in three stages. Before visiting the patients by family caregivers, their anxiety and also, patients' anxiety was measured in both groups. Thereafter, the patients’ family caregivers in the control group received routine training, and the patients' family caregivers in the experimental group received peer training in two sessions by their peers. In the third step, the anxiety of patients and their family caregivers in both groups were measured on the second and fifth days after intervention. The data were analyzed in SPSS 20 software.
Findings. Before intervention, the mean scores of anxiety in the experimental and control groups were not statistically different in both patients and their family caregivers, and the mean anxiety scores in both groups were moderate to high. After intervention, the mean score of anxiety in the experimental group was significantly lower than the control group (P≤0.0001). Also, in the second and fifth days after the intervention, there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in the mean score of anxiety of the patients and their family caregivers (P≤0.0001).
Conclusion. Peer education seems to reduce anxiety in patients and their family caregivers after discharge from ICU. It is suggested that peer education be used as effective and low cost education to reduce patient and family caregiver anxiety.

Abstract
Abstract
Aim. This study was conducted with the aim of determining the effect of peer education on outcome in people with heart failure.
Background. Heart failure is a complex clinical syndrome that is considered as a public health problem due to its chronic, progressive and irreversible nature.
Method. In this review study, a comprehensive search of scientific databases and search engines such as Science Direct, Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Medline using the keywords heart failure and peer education in both Persian and English language was done to find literature published between 2000 and 2018.
Findings. Studies about the effect of peer education on outcomes of heart failure patients in the country showed that these trainings have examined three outcomes of self-care, quality of life and self-efficacy in people with heart failure, and that this method has had a positive effect on all three components.
Conclusion. Peer education improves self-care, self-efficacy, and quality of life in people with heart failure. It is recommended to use this training program as an effective, cost-effective method without the need for specialized equipment.
