Abstract
Aim.This study aimed to determine the relationship between lifestyle and cardiac self efficacy among people with heart failure.
Background. As a common disease, heart failure is a major cause of death and disability in the world. In the treatment of heart failure patients, there is a special emphasis on lifestyle modification. In order to improve the lifestyle of patients with heart failure, cognitive-behavioural factors such as cardiac self-efficacy can be considered.
Method. This descriptive correlational study was conducted on 227 patients with heart failure referred to cardiology clinics of hospitals affiliated to Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. The data gathering tool consisted of three sections: demographic form, Sullivan's cardiac self efficacy questionnaire and health-promoting lifestyle profile. The data were analysed in SPSS, version 16.
Findings.The mean score of cardiac self-efficacy was 58.45±25.92 and the mean score of total lifestyle was reported 54.45±16.27. A statistically significant direct relationship was found between the mean score of total lifestyle and the mean score of cardiac self-efficacy (r=0.463, p≤0.0001). The Pearson correlation coefficients showed a direct correlation between the scores of all dimensions of lifestyle and score of cardiac self-efficacy (In all cases, p≤0.0001).
Conclusion: There is a positive and significant correlation between lifestyle and cardiac self efficacy of patients with heart failure.

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 aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of perceived stress in the relationship between self-efficacy and quality of life in people with cardiovascular patients.
Background. Cardiovascular disease as a chronic and debilitating physical condition is one of the most common causes of death and can affect the quality of life. In this regard, it is necessary to identify variables related to quality of life in these patients.
Method. The present study was a descriptive-correlational study using structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the present study included all patients with cardiovascular disease referring to hospitals for cardiology and heart surgery, and cardiac rehabilitation centers in Tehran, Iran in 2019, of which 151 people were recruited based on inclusion criteria. Data collection tools included the Sullivan Cardiac Self-Efficacy Questionnaire, Cohen's Perceived Stress Questionnaire, and Quality of Life Scale (SF-36).
Findings. The results showed that negative perception of stress and positive perception of stress had a statistically significant negative and positive relationship with dimensions of quality of life, respectively. Self-efficacy had a statistically significant positive relationship with dimensions of quality of life. Perceived stress also mediated the relationship between self-efficacy and quality of life dimensions.
Conclusion. In planning necessary measures to improve the quality of life in people with cardiovascular patients, it would be helpful to develop programs to strengthen self-efficacy and reduce stress.

Abstract
Aim. This study aimed to address whether spiritual intelligence was correlated with self-efficacy in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
Background. Patients experiencing acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are often required to enhance their empowerment skills to manage their signs and symptoms in an effective manner. In this sense, self-efficacy has been considered as a useful factor to develop self-care practices and minimize the risks of coronary artery disease (CAD).
Method. Using a descriptive-correlational research design, a total number of 136 patients admitted to cardiac care units (CCUs) of the hospitals affiliated to Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran, were selected through the convenience sampling. The data were further collected via the demographic characteristics information questionnaire, King’s Spiritual Intelligence Self-Report Inventory (SISRI, 2008), and the Cardiac Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (CSEQ) developed by Sullivan et al. (1998), and then analyzed using the SPSS version 22.
Findings. Most patients in this study (61.8 percent) were male, married (69.1 percent) with a mean age of 58.85. Moreover, the score of spiritual intelligence was 47.18. The patients received a mean score of 13.72 in the “critical existential thinking” subscale and a mean score of 10.19 in the “personal meaning production” subscale. The mean scores for the “transcendental awareness” and “conscious state expansion” subscales were also 9.70 and 9.47, respectively (p=0.01).
Conclusion. It was concluded that higher levels of spiritual intelligence could improve self-efficacy in patients affected with ACS; therefore, adopting strategies to boost this type of intelligence could augment resilience in such individuals.

ABSTRACT
Aim. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of education by Teach Back method and group education on self-efficacy of patients with myocardial infarction.
Background. Cardiovascular diseases are among the leading causes of death worldwide. Effective education of patients requires the use of educational methods whose effectiveness have been identified.
Methods. The present study was a clinical trial conducted at Rajaie Cardiovascular Medical and Research Center in Tehran during 2020 and 2021. Sampling was performed continuously until 105 people were completed. Patients were randomly divided into three groups of 35, including group (Teach Back, group training, and Control), based on blocking randomization (size=6). The training sessions were conducted in two one hour sessions for two consecutive days. The control group received routine ward training. Data were collected using demographic information form and Sullivan Cardiac Self-Efficacy Questionnaire that completed before training by patients and two weeks after training by telephone by the researcher. Finally, data on 93 patients admitted to cardiac care unit were analyzed using SPSS software version 24.
Findings. Groups were homogenous in terms of demographic characteristics and disease history. The mean and standard deviation of self-efficacy score before training was 8.03±1.84 in teach back group, 7.58±2.16 in the group training and 6.90±1.40 in the control group. One-way analysis of variance showed that the mean score of self-efficacy before the intervention in the study groups was not statistically different, but two weeks after training, the mean and standard deviation of self-efficacy score was 51.6±7.85 in the teach back training, 45.77±8.39 in the group training group, and 23.16±9.13 in the control group. Increase in self-efficacy mean score in patients under teach back training was significantly higher than patients under group training and control group (P≤0.0001), and in patients under group training was significantly higher than patients in control group (P≤0.0001).
Conclusion. Teach Back training and group training increase the self-efficacy of patients with myocardial infarction. Due to the role of nurses in patient education, this educational methods can be used.

Abstract
Aim. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of treatment based on choice theory (reality therapy) on self-efficacy of people with hypertension.
Background. Hypertension and its complications leads to high mortality and therefore, is considered as a major health problem affecting individual self-efficacy. In addition to drug therapy, psychological treatments can be a significant and important prerequisite for behavior change and self-care promotion in people with hypertension.
Method. The present study was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design and control group. The statistical population of the study included all people with high blood pressure under coverage of the health centers of Meybod city Yazd province) in the fall-winter 2018, who were recruited in the study based on convenience sampling (n=30) and were randomly allocated to experimental and control group. The samples responded to the self-efficacy questionnaire of hypertensive patients (DMSES) before and after intervention. The treatment program based on choice theory was carried out in 8 sessions. The data were analyzed by covariance analysis according to the research hypothesis.
Findings. The results showed that after controlling for the pre-test effect, there was a statistically significant difference between the post-test self-efficacy scores of the group. After the treatment based on the selection theory, the scores of the dimensions of diet, physical activity, drug consumption and blood pressure control of patients with hypertension increased significantly in experimental group compared with the control group.
Conclusion. Implementation of treatment based on choice theory can be a suitable method for increasing self-efficacy in people with hypertension. It's suggested that by applying the theory-based treatment of choice for people with hypertension, an effective step can be taken to improve their self-efficacy.
