Objective: Quality of life compared to health or illness has a special position for policymakers and health-care specialists. The goal of this study was to evaluate the expanded model of health-related quality of life in patients with coronary artery disease. Method: This is a descriptive correlational study that is based on structural equation modeling. The statistical population includes all patients with coronary artery disease who referred to Tehran and Karaj medical centers and received a diagnosis by a specialist. 650 persons were selected by available sampling method and responded to Illness Perception Questionnaire, Quality of Life Questionnaire, Self-Care of Heart Failure Index, Emotional Well-being Scale, Psychological Well-being Questionnaire of Reef, Social Well-being Questionnaire of Keyesand Seattle Angina Questionnaire. Findings: The results of this study showed that the developed model of Wilson has a good fit. That is, by adding self-management and psychological, social, and emotional well-being, this model can be adopted to explain the quality of life. However, compared to the original model of well-being indices, due to the multidimensionality and the multiple relationships, it should be considered as a comprehensive well-being construct. Self-management can also explain comprehensive well-being. Conclusion: Self-management and positive indicators of well-being can have a special role in the process of health-related quality of life in patients with coronary artery disease.

Objectives: During the pandemic COVID-19, numerous studies displayed an increase in anxiety and depression in pregnant women. This present study aimed to investigate the effect of neurofeedback therapy on pregnancy anxiety and prenatal depression in pregnant women. Methods: The study was a single-case experimental study with multiple baseline design with a follow-up period. Three pregnant women were selected according to purposive sampling method and entered the study gradually in fixed intervals. The research tools included the neurofeedback therapy, Pregnancy Related Anxiety Questionnaire (PRAQ) and Beck Depression Inventory Second Edition (BDI-II). Results: The findings showed that the neurofeedback reduced the severity of pregnancy anxiety and prenatal depression symptoms in both post-treatment and follow-up stages, so that the percentage of improvement for the first, second and third participants in the symptoms of pregnancy anxiety was 72%, 74% and 71% in post-treatment and 75%, 80% and 73% in follow-up stage, respectively. The percentages of improvement for the first, second and third participants in the symptoms of prenatal depression were also 72%, 77% and 77% in post-treatment and 79%, 77% and 83% in follow-up stages, respectively. Moreover, the overall percentages of improvement in post-treatment and follow-up stage in the symptoms of pregnancy anxiety were 72% and 79% and in the symptoms of prenatal depression was 75% and 80%, respectively. In addition, at the end of the intervention sessions and at the 1-month follow-up, all the three patients scored less than 14 on BDI-II, which indicated the clinical significance of the reduction of their depression symptoms on this scale. The visual analyses and the results of inter-positional and intra-positional analyses showed a significant difference between baseline and intervention stage for all subjects (PND>70, PAND>50). The percentages of non-overlapping data (PND) as a measure of effect size for the first, second and third participants in the symptoms of pregnancy anxiety were 83%, 100% and 83% respectively. The percentages of all non-overlapping data (PAND) as the second effect size criterion for the subjects were also 87.5%, 100% and 90%, respectively, which shows the effectiveness of the intervention for all the three subjects in the symptoms of pregnancy anxiety. The percentages of non-overlapping data (PND) for the first, second and third participants in the symptoms of prenatal depression were 83%, 83% and 67% respectively. The percentages of all non-overlapping data (PAND) for the subjects were 87.5%, 89% and 800% respectively, which shows the effectiveness of the intervention for all the three subjects in the symptoms of prenatal depression.
