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.

Introduction: Identifying factors associated with psychological well-being of the elderly, is one of the topics of interest to aging psychology. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of lifestyle, psychological capital and self-care behaviors in predicting mental well-being in elderly peoples with type 2 diabetes. Method: This research is descriptive and correlational. In this study, 350 in Kermanshah were selected from various parts of the city using randomized sampling and clustering method to participate in the study. To collect information, the Basic Adlerian Scales for Interpersonal Success-Adult Form Kern and etal (1933), psychological capital Mac Gee (2011), Summary Of Diabetes Self – Care Activities (SDSCA) Tobert and etal (2000) and Adult Subjective well-being questionnaire Keyes & Magyar-Moe (2003) were used. The collected information was analyzed using software Spss21 and statistical tests such as Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise multivariate regression. Results: The bivariate relationship of life style with any component of social (r=0.412), emotional (r=0.427) psychological well-being (r=0.461), and mental well-being (r=0.403), is positive and significant (P ≤ 0.001) the relationship between psychological capital and mental well-being (r=0.410) is significant and positive (P ≤ 0.001), there is also a significant and positive relationship between self-care (r=0.497), and mental well-being (P ≤ 0.001). The results of multivariate regression showed that 78 percent of the variance in mental well-being of the elderly people is explained by social interest-belonging, responsibility, gentleness, self-efficacy, toleration, optimism, hope and self-care. Conclusion: The results of this study have important implications about the importance of lifestyle, psychological capital and self-care behaviors in maintaining emotional, social and psychological well-being of elderly people.
