Effects of the First Phase of Cardiac Rehabilitation Training on Self-Efficacy among Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery.

Heart surgery is vital for patients with coronary artery diseases that do not respond to drug treatments. We aimed to determine the effects of the implementation of the first phase of a cardiac rehabilitation program on self-efficacy in patients after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). This clinical trial study was conducted on 60 post-CABG patients by convenience sampling method in 2016.

Effect of Mealtime During Hemodialysis on Patients' Complications.

Food intake during hemodialysis increases the risk of problems such as hypotension, nausea, and vomiting in patients undergoing hemodialysis. This study aimed to determine the effect of mealtime during dialysis on the patients' complications. This is a quasi-experimental study consisted of all eligible hemodialysis patients in Hamadan teaching hospitals.

Comparison Between Effects of Home Based Cardiac Rehabilitation Programs Versus Usual Care on the Patients' Health Related Quality of Life After Coronary Artery Bypass Graft.

Background & Aim: To compare home-based cardiac rehabilitation with usual care on the patients' Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) after coronary artery bypass graft in patients with coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.

Methods: In a randomized controlled clinical conducted from March 2013 to June 2013, 110 patients with CABG surgery were randomly assigned into two groups. While patients in group I, were received usual care and patients in group II, in addition to the usual care were received home-based cardiac rehabilitation programs.
