Abstract
Abstract Aim. The aim of this study was to evaluate cardiac intensive care nurses’ performance in usingintravenous Streptokinase for acute myocardial infarction patients. Background. Acute myocardial infarction is a common disease. Use of thrombolytic drug includingStreptokinase reduce mortality rate in these patients. Nurses have an important role in injectingthis drug. Method. This descriptive study was conducted on 68 nurses who work in cardiac emergency room andcoronary care unit. Data were collected by observation check list of nurses’ performance. The data wereanalyzed by descriptive statistic and Chi-square. Findings. The findings showed that the manner of presenting nursing care in pre- Streptokinase infusionstage was moderate in 52.9% of observations, but during the injection in 55.4% of observations and afterinjection, in 45.6% of observations was poor. Conclusion. The care of patients was moderate and poor, therefore it is recommended to paymore attention to education of nurses about using intravenous Streptokinase for acute myocardial

Abstract
Abstract Aim. The aim of this study was to evaluate complications of intravenous Streptokinase therapy in acute myocardial infarction patients admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit. Background. Myocardial infarction is a common disease and the use of thrombolytic agents such as Streptokinase reduces its mortality, but there are some complications associated with streptokinase. Method. In this descriptive stud y 120, patients treated with streptokinase were evaluated in terms of complications of the drug. A checklist of Streptokinase complications was used to collect the data. The findings were presented in the form of descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings. According to the finding s, %33.3 of patients had cardiovascular complications, %23.9 developed allergic symptoms, and %17.5 suffered blood complications. Conclusion. The incidence of cardiac complications was the highest among patients. It is recommended to train nurses to avoid possible complications.

Abstract
Abstract
Aim. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of clinically-indicated replacement and routine replacement of peripheral venous catheters on catheter-related complications and satisfaction in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
Background. The insertion of peripheral vein catheter is one of the most commonly used minimally invasive measures in hospitalized patients. Catheters can be maintained until they are working well.
Methods. A randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted in intensive care units of Rajaie Cardiovascular Medical and Research Center in 2017. After ethical Approval, 104 Patients were randomly allocated to either clinically-indicated replacement or routine replacement of peripheral venous catheters (every 96 hours) (52 Patients in each group). Data collection tools included demographic form, catheter placement data sheet and a researcher-made patients’ satisfaction questionnaire. Data were analyzed in SPSS using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Findings. There were no statistically significant difference in terms of the incidence of complications between the groups. Also, there were no statistically significant difference between the scores of satisfaction of the patients of the control and experimental group.
Conclusion. No evidence was found of superiority of routine replacement of peripheral venous catheters over clinically-indicated replacement. Caregivers may consider changing the protocol of catheter replacement from routine replacement to clinically-indicated replacement. This would protects patients from the unnecessary pain of routine replacement in the absence of clinical indications.

Abstract
Aim. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of mindfulness training on Corona anxiety in patients with Covid-19 and underlying cardiovascular disease in Imam Ali Hospital, Amol, Iran.
Background. Since its outbreak, the corona virus has shown that it defeats more people with underlying diseases and puts them at risk of death than those who have a healthy body.
Method. This was a quasi-experimental study with control group. The accecible population of this research was all corona patients with a history of cardiovascular disease in Imam Ali Hospital, Amol, Iran, in 2021-2022. Sampling was done from the patients admitted to the hospital based on convenience sampling method. To collect information, the Corona Virus Anxiety Questionnaire developed by Alipour et al. (2018) was used. Mindfulness training based on Kabat-Zinn (2005) educational plan was implemented in experimental group in 8 sessions of 2-hour duration per week.
Findings. The results of multivariate covariance analysis showed that mindfulness training has an effect on reducing anxiety of Corona in patients with Covid-19 and underlying cardiovascular disease to the extent of 0.87 (p≤0.001). Univariate covariance analysis showed that mindfulness training has an effect on reducing the mental symptoms of Corona anxiety in patients with Covid-19 and underlying cardiovascular disease to the extent of 0.83 (p≤0.001). Also, mindfulness training has an effect on reducing physical symptoms of Corona anxiety in patients with Covid-19 and underlying cardiovascular disease by 0.79 (p≤0.001).
Conclusion. Mindfulness exercises can enable patients with Covid-19 and underlying cardiovascular disease to pause and reflect a little before responding, and these pauses provide them with an opportunity. It allows them to get rid of judgment in many situations that can lead to anger, fear and anxiety. This will provide conditions that patients, even in the worst and acute state of their illness, are more likely to be able to maintain their mental peace and thereby, reduce the physical signs and symptoms of anxiety.
