Abstract
Introduction: Patients after a heart surgery and spending a recovery period at home need to have an early cardiac rehabilitation program. The first phase of cardiac rehabilitation program is well known for improving long-term health of patients with heart surgery. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of the first phase of cardiac rehabilitation education on self- efficacy of men and women after the heart surgery.
Methods: This clinical trial study was conducted on 30 patients (14 females and 16 males) underwent the coronary artery bypass surgery. The patients were selected and randomly divided into two groups of men and women. Theoretical education and exercises of the first phase of rehabilitation were performed step by step under the supervision of a trained person using the pamphlets and educational booklets. Then, the self-efficacy questionnaire was completed in three stages before the intervention, at discharge time and one month after discharge by men and women. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance with repeated measures by the SPSS 16 software.
Results: Results of the analysis of variance showed that the total score of self-efficacy significantly increased in the two groups (men and women) compared to before the intervention (P < 0.001). However, no significant difference was found in the total score of self-efficacy between the two groups (P = 0.482).
Conclusions: The implementation of the first phase of cardiac rehabilitation improves the self-efficacy of men and women undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. This study reveals the individual capabilities of male and female patients in recovery period after the surgery. Also the findings show that their intensive participation in physical activity can increase self-efficacy and reduce the need for help.

They completed the frost. The samples were allocated to two test groups (35 people) and control (35 people) through the random block allocation process. The test group received 20 sessions of 60 minutes, two sessions per week, schema therapy as a group. Frost's perfectionism dimensions scale was completed at the start of the intervention, immediately after the intervention, and one month later by both experimental and control groups. To analyze the data, descriptive statistics and analysis of variance with repeated measurements were used using SPSS software version 25.
Results: The average age of the participants in the test group was 31.23±4.61 and in the control group was 30.77±3.75; 21.4% of participants were male, and 78.6% were female (control group: 17.1% male and 82.9% women, intervention group: 25.7% men and 74.3% women), The perfectionism score at the time points immediately and one month after the end of the intervention compared to their level at the beginning of the study in the intervention group was significantly reduced compared to the control group (P<0.05)
Conclusion: Group schema therapy can be suggested as a valuable and effective intervention in improving the dimensions of perfectionism in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
