Abstract
Abstract Aim. This paper reviews staff nurses roles in diagnosing and stabilizing neonates with congenital heart disease. Background. Nowadays, development in managing congenital heart defects has increased survival and quality of life among neonates suffering these defects. Many attempts has been made to detect neonatal congenital heart disease before or immediately after birth, but a large number of neonates with heart problems remain undiagnosed before developing severe signs and symptoms. Although mild forms of the disease may subside spontaneously, severe conditions needs prompt management. Method. In this literature review, papers published during the last 15 years, were searched out through search engines and data bases: Science Direct, Google Scholar, Ebsco, Pub Med, Ovid, Proquest by the keywords nursing care, congenital heart disease, neonatal, cardiac, and management. Findings.Twenty three English papers about diagnosis and stabilization of neonatal congenital heart disease and a textbook were selected. The findings are presented within four domains: 1) physical examination, 2) symptoms of disease, 3) management in delivery room and neonatal stabilization, and 4) communication with the parents. Conclusion. Nurses are the first health care members encounter neonates with congenital heart diseases. Early recognition and stabilization of congenital heart disease is the cornerstone of nursing care of neonates suffering this problem.

Abstract
Abstract Aim.The present study aimed to examine the relationship of perfectionism with procrastination and coping styles in people with coronary heart diseases (CHD), compared with healthy controls. Background. Psychological factors may increase the risk of CHD by influencing physiological risk factors. Although psychological factors play an important role in development of CHD, more research in this area is necessary. Method. In this descriptive correlational study, 218 male people (107 people with CHD as case group, and 111 people without CHD as their controls) were selected by convenience sampling. Data were collected by Mann’s Decisional Procrastination Scale, Lay’s Behavioral Procrastination Scale, coping styles Scale by Endler and Parker and Tehran Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale. Pearson correlation coefficient and linear regression were used for data analysis. Findings.According to the findings, other-oriented perfectionism was directly associated with behavioral and decisional procrastination in case group, while in the control group, other-oriented perfectionism was negatively associated with decisional procrastination, however, the association was not significant. The effect of other-oriented perfectionism on decisional procrastination was significant in both groups. In case group, other-oriented perfectionism had a significant effect on behavioral procrastination, however other-oriented perfectionism had a significant effect on problem solving style in control group. Conclusion.Other-oriented perfectionism had positive, but not strong relationship with both aspects of procrastinations in case group. In regression models of different aspects of perfectionism on procrastination, only the effect of other-oriented perfectionism was significant. Although the regressions were significant, fitted models had low predictive power. Only the other-oriented perfectionism could somewhat predict behavioral and decisional procrastination.

Abstract
Aim. The aim of this study was to analyze the concept of heart risk perception from healthcare staff perspective using hybrid method of concept analysis.
Background. In the discussion of behavior, awareness of risk factors for cardiovascular disease is very important in helping individuals to make informed decisions about continuing certain behaviors that increase the risk of the disease, but what matters more is the perception of a person at risk of a disease that affects his or her health functions.
Method. Hybrid model of concept analysis was used to clarify the meaning of perception of risk of heart disease. Three phases of a hybrid concept analysis include theoretical, fieldwork, and final analysis. In theoretical phase, different databases including PubMed, CINAHL, Science Direct, Google Scholar, SID and Magiran were searched for related articles published from 1990 to 2018). The search keywords were perception of risk; heart disease in titles and abstracts of the papers. In the fieldwork phase, semi-structured in -depth interviews were conducted with 18 nurses who were selected by purposive sampling. In next step, by combining the two previous stages the final analysis was performed.
Findings. The combination of theoretical and fieldwork findings resulted in definition of heart risk perception from healthcare staff perspective: “Understanding the risk of heart disease is a form of acquiring awareness of the risk of heart disease that is influenced by beliefs, values, culture and attitudes of individuals, and it stimulates learning and changing self-care behaviors for efficacy in promoting heart health and avoiding risk factors.”
Conclusion. The results of this study will help to clarify the concept of perception of risk of heart disease among healthcare system staff. This clarification may lead to offering comprehensive view and better understanding for use in the research and practice.

Abstract
Aim. The aim of this review was to investigate the effects of Crocus sativus (Saffron) on cardiovascular diseases from Iranian traditional medicine to modern phytotherapy.
Background. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) presently accounts for almost half of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and causes deaths of 17.3 million per year. Crocus sativus is one of the various traditional herbs that have been demonstrated to have therapeutic effects on cardiovascular disease. Crocus sativus, commonly known as Saffron, is a species of flowering plant of the Crocus genus in the Iridaceae family.
Method. Data were obtained from searching the scientific databases including Pubmed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar and related Iranian traditional medicine books. The keywords included "Crocus sativus", "saffron", "cardiovascular diseases", "heart disease" and "therapeutic properties of saffron". Finally, searching in databases detected 58 records that 37 sources had the inclusion criteria and their full texts were carefully reviewed.
Findings. Crocus sativus shows antispasmodic, eupeptic, gingival sedative, anticatarrhal, nerve sedative, carminative, diaphoretic, expectorant, stimulant, stomachic, aphrodisiac, and emmenagogue activities. In addition, it is effective in treating cardiovascular disease. Crocus sativus extract has an anti-arrhythmic effect, vascular smooth muscle relaxant, blood pressure reducing effect and protective role on ischemic heart disease. Also, it can play an important role in stopping ischemic heart damage and be used as a new preventive tool for ischemic heart disease.
Conclusion. Many studies confirm that Crocus sativus has a wide range of pharmacological activities, but it seems more research is needed to evaluate these mechanisms.

Abstract
Aim. The present study aimed to compare the effect of schema therapy and dialectical behavior therapy on lifestyle of women with coronary artery heart disease.
Background. Given that an unhealthy lifestyle is one of the main determinants of early onset of coronary heart disease in adulthood and its resulting mortality, the need for therapeutic interventions in this group of patients seems necessary.
Method. This experimental study (pre-test-post-test with control group and follow-up) was conducted on women with coronary heart disease in Tehran in 2019-2020. A total of 45 female patients were selected by available sampling method and randomly allocated to two experimental group and one control group (15 people in each group). Experimental and control groups were assessed during the pre-test, post-test and one-month follow-up stages by Lali et al. (2012) lifestyle questionnaire. Eight sessions of group schema therapy (for one experimental group) and eight sessions of group dialectical behavior therapy (for another experimental group) were held (two sessions per week for 4 weeks). The data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance in SPSS V.23.
Findings. Both interventions were effective in promoting lifestyle in women with coronary heart disease (p≤0.0001). Also, group dialectical behavior therapy had a greater effect on lifestyle promotion in women with coronary heart disease compared with group schema therapy (p≤0.0001).
Conclusion. Training of the use of group dialectical behavior therapy is recommended as an effective intervention method for improving lifestyle of women with coronary heart disease.
