Abstract
Abstract
Aim.
This
study aimed to determine the relationship of spiritual experiences with the
life expectancy and death anxiety in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass
grafting (CABG).
Background.
The
patients undergoing CABG experience a critical situation that requires taking
into account such factors as life expectancy, spiritual experience, and death
anxiety. During taking care of these patients, nurses must consider these
experiences and their relationship.
Method.
In this descriptive-analytic study, 150 patients undergoing coronary artery
bypass surgery in hospitals located in Kerman city, Iran, were recruited within
an 8 months period in 2015. Data were collected using a questionnaire including
demographic data, Templer Death Anxiety Scale, Adult Hope Scale and the Scale
of Daily Spiritual Experiences (DSES). Data were analyzed in SPSS version 20
using Pearson correlation test, Independent T-test, ANOVA and multiple linear
regression.
Findings.
There
was a statistically significant negative correlation of daily spiritual
experiences with death anxiety (p=0.004) and death anxiety with life expectancy
(p≤0.0001). There was also a statistically significant positive correlation
between spiritual experiences and life expectancy (p≤0.0001). Multiple linear
regression analysis showed that age and life expectancy predicted 61 percent of
changes related to spiritual experiences.
Conclusion. The
findings suggest that paying attention to spiritual experiences of patients may
increase life expectancy and reduce the death anxiety. It is suggested to
include supporting, facilitating and attending to the spiritual needs of
patients in nursing care plans for these patients.

Abstract
Aim. This study was conducted to compare self-efficacy, life expectancy and death anxiety in people with and without heart disease.
Background. Cardiovascular diseases are the most common cause of mortality in many countries including Iran. This chronic disease may affects self-efficacy, life expectancy and death anxiety.
Method. The present study was a comparative study in which 75 people with heart admitted to Seyyed Al-Shohada hospitals, Urmia, Iran were compared with 75 individuals without heart disease in terms of self-efficacy, life expectancy and death anxiety. To collect the data, the Snyder Life Expectancy Questionnaire, General Sherer's Manual, and Thompson's Death Fear was used. Data were analyzed in SPSS software using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Findings. This study showed a statistically significant difference between people with and without heart disease in self-efficacy (51.36±9.11 against 66.30±10/60) (P≤0.0001) and life expectancy (39.66±8.78 against 46.12±6.87) (P≤0.0001). No statistical significant difference was found between the groups in terms of death anxiety.
Conclusion. It is recommended to take actions for improving self-efficacy and life expectancy in people with heart disease.

Abstract
Aim. The aim of this study was to determine the role of resiliency and life expectancy in predicting psychological well-being of heart failure patients.
Background. Regarding the importance of psychological well-being in improving the health of patients with heart failure, examining the affective variables such as resiliency and life expectancy are of great importance.
Method. This research was a descriptive correlational study. Statistical population consisted of all of Rasht heart failure patients in 2018. 265 heart failure patients were selected using convenience sampling. The data collection instruments were Ryff's psychological well-being, Connor and Davidson’s resilience, and Snyder et al's hope. Abstract

Background. Regarding the importance of psychological well-being in improving the health of patients with heart failure, examining the relationship of affective variables such as resiliency and life expectancy with psychological well-being is of great importance.
Method. This research was a descriptive correlational study. Statistical population consisted of all of heart failure patients in Rasht, Iran, in 2018. In this study, 265 heart failure patients were selected using convenience sampling. The data collection instruments were the questionnaires Ryff's psychological well-being, Connor and Davidson’s resilience, and Snyder et al.’s hope. The collected data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression.
Findings. There was a positive relationship of psychological well-being with resiliency (r=0.386) and life expectancy (r=0.396). The regression analysis showed that the meaning of life and subscales of factor thinking and spiritual influences can significantly predict 0.228 of psychological well-being in heart failure patients.
Conclusion. Regarding the determinants of psychological well-being in this research, psychological well-being and quality of nursing care in heart failure patients can be increased using interventions such as resiliency education programs and psychological treatments focusing on hope.
The collected data were analyzed using pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression.
