The Objective of the present study is to determine social capital and its predictive role on QOL among elderly people living in Tabriz, East- Azerbaijan province, Iran. Methods The present cross-sectional study was accomplished in 2018 on 522 elderly people referred to the health centers in city of Tabriz. A multi-stage random cluster sampling was implemented. The data were collected, using a demographical questionnaire, Onyx-Bullen social capital, and WHOQOL-BREF QOL questionnaires. Then, they were analyzed by SPSS software version 15 and descriptive (frequency, percentage, mean (SD) and inferential statistics (Pearson, and Multivariate linear regression) were provided.  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/amenamevir.html  Results The mean age of the participants was 65.7 years, 58% were women, 85.5% were married, and 37.5% were illiterate. The mean )SD (of social capital score was 71.87 (10.51) (in the range of 36-144) and for QOL, it was 64.64 (10.81) (in the range of 0-100). Social capital had positive and direct relation with QOL. Out of all the variables studied; marital status, education, economic status, health status, the absence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), and joint pains had significant relation with QOL. By some modifications in context factors, social capital was considered to be a predictive factor for QOL [β (95%CI) 0.28 to 0.36)]. Conclusion For the promotion of QOL among the elderly, certain strategies must be implemented by health policy makers to enhance social capital among elderly people.Introduction Psychological factors including depression and anxiety are the most critical risk factors in the treatment and prognosis of heart failure which should be addressed in treatment and care programs. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of cognitive-behavioral training (CBT) on depression severity and self-care ability of patients with heart failure. Methods This study was a randomized clinical trial that carried out on 80 patients with heart failure who had been hospitalized in 2018. The participants were divided into the CBT group (n= 40) and the conventional training (CT) group (n= 40), randomly. Data were collected using Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the Self-Care of Heart Failure Index (SCHFI) version 6.2 before and 8 weeks after the educational interventions. Data were analyzed in SPSS 21 using paired t-test, independent t-test, chi-square test, and covariance analysis. Results The mean score of self-care in the CBT group turned out to be significantly higher than the CT group after receiving the intervention. Also, the mean depression score of the CBT group 26.95 (5.53) after intervention was significantly lower than the CT group 36.04 (8.45). Conclusion Cognitive-behavioral intervention, compared with conventional training, had a greater positive impact on improving self-care and alleviating the severity of depression symptoms. Therefore, it is recommended that the principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy be integrated into routine educational programs.Introduction Behavioral activation therapy (BAT) is designed to help individuals' approach and access sources of positive reinforcement in their life, which can serve a natural antidepressant function and efforts to help depressed people reengage in their life through focused activation strategies. Methods In this study, 60 individuals were selected and randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention group received behavioral activation treatment, including eight treatment sessions and 5 weeks later, a follow-up study was conducted. The data were collected, using a Beck Depression Inventory-II and behavioral activation system (BIS)/ behavioral inhibition system (BAS) Carver and White questionnaires, before the intervention and after the intervention and five weeks after the intervention. SPSS 23 and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used for data analysis. Results Results showed a significant increase in the two components of the BAS including reward seeking and response to reward in the intervention group, which indicates an increase in positive affect and appetitive motivation for reward seeking and decreases the risk of depression. Also, the results showed a significant decrease in the BIS and depression in the intervention group, which indicates a decline in experiencing negative emotions. Conclusion The implementation of BAT will cause depressed people to try to maximize future rewards and it's effective in improving the reward seeking and reward response in depressed people because this treatment will increase the positive reinforcement and lead to learning cues that predict possible rewards in environments.Introduction Angioplasty is widely used as a selective treatment for acute coronary syndromes. The complications of this procedure often lead to an increase in the length of the patients' stay and hospital costs. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of using sand and ice bags on hematoma and hemorrhage after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods In this randomized clinical trial, study was completed with participation of 60 patients with femoral angioplasty candidate, referring to Imam Reza hospital in Mashhad, were randomly divided into control and intervention groups. In the control group, a sand bag was placed on the location for up to 4 hours. In the intervention group, the ice bag and the sand bag were used simultaneously for 15 minutes, and then for 45 minutes, with the pressure of the sand bag only. This cycle was repeated four times. Hemorrhage (volume and weight) and hematoma (area and lump) were checked four times. The data were analyzed using SPSS software version 22. Results The rate of hemorrhage after intervention was significantly reduced in the intervention group compared to the control group.
