Abstract
Aim. The purpose of the present study was to examine the predicting role of worry, anger rumination and social loneliness in to coronary artery disease.
Background. Adjustment to heart disease, as an stressful experience, is a difficult process and involves the patient in serious issues.
Method. A total of 327 people with coronary artery disease (138 women, 189 men) participated in this descriptive correlational study. Participants were asked to complete the Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ), Anger Rumination Scale (ARS), Social Loneliness Scale (SLS), and Adjustment to Illness Scale (AIS). Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and stepwise regression.
Findings. Worry, anger rumination and social loneliness was found to have a statistically significant and negative correlation with adjustment to coronary artery disease; that is, with an increase in worry, anger rumination and social loneliness, the level of adjustment to coronary artery disease is reduced. According to Regression analysis, of the three analyzed variables, worry and social loneliness were predictors of adjustment to coronary artery disease, so that worry and worry with social loneliness predicted 35 and 41 percent of the variance of adjustment to coronary artery disease, respectively (p<0.01) .
Conclusion. Taking worry and social loneliness into consideration when planning preventive programs is a necessity. At an interventional level, together with the routine medical treatments, psychological interventions for worry and social loneliness has a great necessity as well.

Data were analyzed in SPSS by descriptive and inferential statistics.
Findings. The results showed that caregiver burden and marital stress had a statistically significant negative correlation with psychosocial adjustment. Among mindfulness subscales, only “describe” subscale had a statistically significant positive correlation with psychosocial adjustment to illness (P=0.04). The stepwise regression analysis showed that the research model was able to explain 57% of psychosocial adjustment to illness. These findings suggest that caregiver burden and marital stress play an important role in psychosocial adjustment of patients with disease.

Aim. The aim of the present study was to predict adjustment to the disease in patients with cardiovascular disease based on psychological well-being with the moderating role of health beliefs.
Introduction. Health beliefs are directly related to an individual's adaptation and behavior, and the outcome of this adaptation affects the patient's perception of disability and quality of life. Effective assessment and understanding of illness involves understanding the individual's ability to demonstrate adaptive behaviors and estimating their success in regulating symptoms of the disease, and subsequently, seeking psychological well-being.
Method. This was a descriptive correlational study. Three hundred patients with cardiovascular disease referring to Martyr Dr. Qolipour Medical Center in Bukan, Iran were recruited by purposive sampling. To collect the data, Health Beliefs Questionnaire, Psychosocial Adjustment to Illness Scale, and Psychological Well-being scale were used. Inclusion criteria included cardiovascular disease, having at least a high school education, no acute physical illness other than cardiovascular disease, no acute mental illness, and willingness to participate in the study.
Findings. According to the results, in patients with cardiovascular disease, adjustment to the disease had a statistically significant positive relationship with psychological well-being and health beliefs (P≤0.01). Psychological well-being and health beliefs had the ability to predict adaptation to the disease, and health beliefs had a moderating role in the relationship between psychological well-being and adjustment to the disease.
Conclusion. In general, it can be concluded that in patients with cardiovascular disease, psychological well-being and health beliefs predict adjustment to the disease, and health beliefs can moderate the relationship between psychological well-being and adjustment to the disease.
