Article Synopsis
- CABG surgery helps improve blood flow to the heart, but patients often struggle with recovery, influenced by factors like self-efficacy and depression.
- This study compared the effects of telephone and WhatsApp follow-up interventions on self-efficacy and depression among CABG patients in a randomized controlled trial involving 99 participants.
- Results showed significant benefits from both follow-up methods, with WhatsApp showing greater improvements in self-efficacy and depression compared to telephone follow-ups, offering insights for better patient care.
Background And Objective: The HEART pathway serves as a tool for predicting major adverse cardiac events (MACE) among patients presenting with acute chest pain, aiding in early discharge of low-risk patients and reducing unnecessary cardiac investigations. This study aimed to evaluate physician-nurse reliability of the HEART pathway. Moreover investigates the efficacy of HEART pathway to predict 3-month MACE in patients with acute chest pain.

Background: Heart failure is the leading cause of readmission in all medical and surgical patients. Home care studies have reduced hospitalization in heart failure. This study aimed to investigate the effect of home care program on readmission in advanced heart failure.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Heart Failure (HF) is a chronic disease that appears to affect resilience. One of the important programs that may affect resilience is a spiritual care program. As a result, the present study was conducted to determine the effect of a spiritual care program on the resilience of patients with HF.

Materials And Methods: The present double-blind randomized clinical trial study was performed on 282 samples from 141 patients admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit. Insulin syringes with heparin (1000 IU/mL) and heparin (5000 IU/mL) and 1 cc of blood sample were taken from the peripheral vein, then distributed in two syringes and given to the analyzer.
Background: Chronic heart failure can lead to frequent hospitalizations. Improving the discharge planning is an approach to reduce hospitalization. Since there has not been enough structured and effective discharge plan in Iranian hospitals, the present study was designed to optimize this program.

Method: Ninety nurses were randomly assigned to three groups. Participants in the workshop group took part in a 2-day training course, participants in the multimedia group received educational content through video, and participants in the control group did not receive any training content.
Article Synopsis
- Needlestick and sharps injuries (NSIs) pose significant health risks for healthcare workers (HCWs) in Iran, with a study revealing a prevalence rate of 42.5%.
- The research analyzed data from various scientific databases, focusing on articles published between 2003 and 2016, and found that women experienced NSIs more frequently than men (47% vs. 42%).
- To mitigate NSIs and minimize the risk of bloodborne pathogen transmission, it’s essential to provide safer instruments, conduct training, uphold safety protocols, and improve reporting practices.
Background: Premature infants are subjected to many painful procedures during care and treatment. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of music therapy on physiological and behavioral pain responses of premature infants during and after blood sampling.
Materials And Methods: This study was a cross-over clinical trial conducted on 20 infants in a hospital affiliated to Tehran University of Medical Sciences for a 5-month period in 2011.
