Abstract
Aim. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of supportive interventions on resiliency components and quality of life among family caregivers of people with advanced heart failure.
Background. Advanced heart failure is a costly, progressive and chronic disease that reduces resilience and quality of life among family caregivers.
Method. In a randomized clinical trial study that was conducted as a before-after design with control group and follow-up one month after intervention. One hundred family caregivers of people with advanced heart failure, admitted to Shahid Rajaie Cardiovascular and Medical Research Center, were randomly assigned into experimental and control group. The family support interventions package included participation in group training workshops for 6 sessions (2 sessions/week in three consecutive weeks) for the experimental group. Resilience Scale (Connor-Davidson) and Quality of Life (SF-36) questionnaire were used to collect the data, before, after and one month after intervention. Data were analyzed in statistical software SPSS 23 using statistical tests related to the distribution of variables including Chi-square, Fisher, Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney test, and independent and paired t-test.
Findings. At baseline, the mean score of resilience and the overall score of quality of life showed no statistically significant difference between the groups. After intervention, there was a statistically significant difference in terms of the mean score of resilience between the experimental (64.06±11) and control (48.34±16.23) group (P<0.05). Also, the overall score of quality of life after intervention was statistically significant between the experimental (70±12.91) and control (50.82±17.73) group (P<0.05). The results of paired t-test showed that one month after the end of the intervention, in the experimental group, the mean score of resilience (63.08 ± 10.15) and the overall score of quality of life (69.82±12.70) remained constant, indicating the sustainability of the effect of interventions after one month (P>0.05).
Conclusion. As part of a holistic program, the results of this study can be a guide to setting up a centralized unit for the education and support of family caregivers of people with chronic heart disease, a unit in which, in addition to social support and mental health education, their needs in terms of knowledge of the disease and participation in the care of their patients would be met.

Abstract
Abstract
Aim. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of acceptance and commitment therapy on chronic pain, resilience and self-care in women with coronary artery disease.
Background. Women with cardiovascular disease have many problems in the field of physical and mental health and one of the effective methods to manage these problems is treatment based on acceptance and commitment.
Method. The study was conducted based on a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest with a control group design. The statistical population included all women with coronary artery disease who referred to Tabriz Heart Hospital within six months in late 2019 and early 2020. After reviewing the clinical interview, women were selected to enter the study based on inclusion criteria and randomly assigned to experimental (n=15) and control group (n=15). Data were collected using the Van Korf et al. Chronic Pain Scale, the Connor and Davidson Resilience Questionnaire, and the Rigel et al. Self-Care Scale. Data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance in SPSS version 19.
Findings. The results showed that acceptance and commitment therapy had a statistically significant effect on chronic pain, resilience and self-care of women with coronary artery disease. Acceptance and commitment therapy reduces chronic pain and improves and increases resilience and self-care in women with coronary artery disease.
Conclusion. Acceptance and commitment therapy improved resilience and self-care and reduced chronic pain in women with coronary artery disease. It is recommended that therapists and health professionals use acceptance and commitment therapy along with other educational and therapeutic methods to improve health-related characteristics.
