Abstract
Aim. The aim of this study was to investigate percpectives of patients with cardiovascular disease about barriers and benefits of health promotion behaviors. Background. Based on Pender’s health promotion model, certain emotional behaviors such as perceived benefits and barriers have effect on changing health behaviors. Method. In a descriptive cross sectional study, 260 patients with cardiovascular disease were selected from exercise tolerant test ward of Shahriar social security hospital in 2009. In this study, sampling method was simple. Data were collected through interview. The instruments included demographic form, Benefits Assessment Scale and Barriers Assessment Scale. The data were analyzed by using SPSS software and descriptive statistics, T-test, ANOVA and Pearson coefficient correlation. Findings. The findings showed that mean score of perception of health promotion behaviors benefits was 41.14±3.82, and 83.7% of patients had high scores of perception about benefits of health promotion behaviors. There was statistically significant correlation of perception of benefits with education level (P=0.024) and job (P= 0.021). Mean score of perception of health promotion behaviors barriers was 26.81±6.31 and 66.3% of patients had moderate scores of perception about barriers of health promotion behaviors. Perception of barriers was significantly associated with gender (P=0.034) and marital status (P= 0.047).There was negative significant correlation between perception of benefits and perception of barriers (p=0.001). Conclusion. Regarding the results of this study, seems that increasing perception of patients with cardiovascular disease about benefits of health promotion behaviors is associated with decreased barriers of health promotion behaviors. Educational interventions by professional nurses for patients with cardiovascular disease may help the patients to adherence to health promotion behaviors.

Abstract
Aim. The present study aims to determine the relationship between family performance indices (cohesion, expressiveness, and conflict) and the risk of myocardial infraction.
Background. Cardiovascular diseases, especially myocardial infraction, is the first factor of fatality in the world and also in Iran. The etiology of myocardial infraction is a very complicated. One of the risk factors overlooked in the studies associated with the etiology of cardiovascular disorders is family and performance indices of the family.
Method. The present research was conducted by a case-control cross-sectional design. The data were collected from two groups, a group of 50 patients with myocardial infraction symptoms (case group) referring to Heshmat Specialized Hospital for Cardiology in Rasht and Tehran Specialized Heart Center, and a group of 50 healthy persons (control group) with no symptoms of myocardial infraction. The data gathering tool included Family Relationships Index. The data were analyzed by SPSS version 16 using MANOVA method.
Findings. There was a statistically significant difference between case and control groups in terms of control variables: history of myocardial infarction, education, history of smoking, history of cholesterol and hypertension (p<0.01), and history of diabetes (p<0.05). There was also a statistically significant difference between groups in terms of cohesion, and conflict indices (p<0.01).
Conclusion. Deficiency in family performance indices, including cohesion, and conflict in family relationships, are among the main risk factors of myocardial infarction. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare and implement social, behavioral and educational interventions in order to prevent negative effects of inadequacies in family performance indices.

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 aimed to review indications, benefits, limitations and procedure of continuous ST segment monitoring in critical care unites.
Background. Although the 12-lead electrocardiography is a standard and reliable tool to detecti ischemia in Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) patients, but it provides only a static snapshot. The American Heart Association (AHA) and American Association of Critical Care Nurses (AACCN) practice standards for ECG monitoring recommend continuous ischemia monitoring for all patients at risk of myocardial ischemia.
Method. This was a review study. International databases such as Proquest, CINAHL, PubMed, Scopus and one national database (SID) were searched out using the keywords; ST-segment Monitoring, Cardiac Monitoring and Acute Coronary Syndrome to find out materials published between years 2000 and 2015. About 189 citations were evaluated, out of which 15 citations were recruited in the final review.
Findings. Although continuous monitoring of ST segment has been introduced many years, but this technology is not widely used.Continuous monitoring of ST segment provides a frequent and dynamic assessment of changes associated with ischemia.Continuous ST segment monitoring as an effective method can be used to provide continuous and dynamic snapshot of ischemia, to evaluate response to reperfusion and anticoagulant therapy and also, can be used for prognostic or research purposes.
Conclusion. Despite some limitations, the use of continuous ST segment monitoring is recommended for patients with ACS, besides routine assessment.

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. 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.
