Abstract
Background and Objective: Because of high growth of elderly population and the role of life style in their problems, we aimed to investigate the elders’life style in Kashmar. 
Material and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted on 267 of over- 60- older people, who were covered by Kashmar health centers, selected by multi-stage sampling. We collected the data, using a valid and reliable questionnaire, via interview and analyzed them by SPSS 18 version using Chi- Square, ANOVA, independent t test, and correlation coefficient. 
Results: The Mean age of the elderly was 69.03±0.38. The life style was moderate in 180 (67.4%) and desirable in 87 (32.6%) of them. There was significant relationship between life style and the variables such as age, marital status and education level (P<0.001). In addition, there was significant negative relationship between age and preventive behavior (p<0.001 r=-0.453), physical activity (p<0.001 r=-0.226), tension (p<0.001 r= -0.252) and social relation (p<0.001 r=-0.311). 
Conclusion: A high percentage of elderly hasn't desirable life style therefore, we recommend appropriate measures, especially educational intervention for promoting elders’ life style.

Abstract
Background and Objective: There is an inevitable relationship between nurses' health and their lifestyle. Therefore, we intended to determin nurses’ lifestyle and its' relationship with some personal- professional characteristics.  
Material and Methods: This descriptive-analytical investigation was conducted on 391 nurses selected via multi-stage random sampling in the Hospitals affiliated to Golestan University of medical sciences. The data was collected by a nurses lifestyle questionnaire having 6 subscales (internal consistency α=0.87 and stability r= 0.897). The data was analyzed by SPSS16 soft ware using independent t test, Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U and chi-square tests( p<0.05). 
Results: Of 391 , 20.2% were male and 79.2% female, and 85.4% have worked in rotation shift. The nurses (36.3 %) working experience was 6-10 years. The majority (78.1%) had optimal lifestyle. The highest score belonged to competency subscale (92.17%) and the lowest to personal life management subscale (64.82%). There was a significant relationship between a number of lifestyle subscales and some personal-professional characteristics such as nurse position, Employing condition, work shift, overtime, night shift and holiday shifts (p≤ 0.05). 
Conclusion: There is a relationship between nurses' lifestyle and some of the personal-professional status. Given that some professional conditions can decrease the personal life management and the role management of healthy lifestyle, we recommend that managers should be careful about working programs to provide healthy lifestyle.

Abstract
Background: Telephone follow-up is one of the effective ways to improve lifestyle of cardiac patients. Discharge planning is the development of an individualized discharge plan for the patient prior to leaving hospital, with the aim of improving patient outcomes. This study was done to investigate the effect of telephone follow-up after discharge on the lifestyle of cardiac patients.
Methods: This randomized clinical trial was conducted on 154 cardiac patients in cardiac care units in Sari, Iran 2015-2016. Patients were recruited through convenient sampling, then they were allocated randomly in two experimental (n=77) and control (n=77) groups. Before registering, training was provided for both groups of patients. In next step, all the patients were followed up by telephone on the second, fourth and sixth days after the discharge. In addition, the experimental group was followed up by telephone weekly for a month and then monthly for five months. Data was gathered using questionnaire before intervention, as well as one and six months after intervention. Data was analyzed with repeated measures ANOVA, Chi-square and the independent t-test in SPSS-16.
Results: No statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in self-care, physical activity and exercise, diet and stress management score before intervention. However, significant differences were observed between the two groups in self-care (p<0.001), physical activity and exercise (p<0.001), diet (p<0.001), and stress management (p<0.001) score after intervention during 6 months.
Conclusions: Telephone follow-up program is effective method promoting the cardiac self- patients lifestyle. The structured telephone follow-up was important for a holistic approach care in patients.

Abstract
Background: Sustaining lifestyle modifications after discharge remains a major challenge in coronary artery disease (CAD) care because routine discharge planning often fails to support long-term self-management. Although the IDEAL (Include, Discuss, Educate, Assess, Listen) program improves transitional care, its specific effect on lifestyle behaviors among patients with CAD in cardiac care units (CCU) remains underexplored. This study evaluated the effect of an IDEAL Discharge Program incorporating the teach-back technique on the lifestyles of these patients.
Methods: In this single-blind randomized trial, 60 patients with CAD (Kashan, Iran, 2024) were allocated either to an intervention group that received the IDEAL Discharge Program incorporating the teach-back technique through daily 30-minute bedside sessions and four post-discharge calls or to a control group that received routine care and non-educational calls. Lifestyle behaviors were assessed at baseline and at 1 and 2 months after discharge using the Standard Lifestyle Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using repeated-measures ANOVA and t-tests.
Results: The groups were comparable at baseline (P>0.05). At baseline and at 1 and 2 months post-intervention, the total lifestyle scores in the intervention group were 238.03±30.57, 256.43±32.32, and 275.43±29.87, respectively. Scores in the control group increased transiently before declining below baseline. Repeated-measures ANOVA revealed significant effects of time, group, and time×group (all P<0.001), and post-hoc tests confirmed significant within-group improvements at 1 and 2 months (both P<0.001). At 2 months, total scores in the intervention group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.001), although the Psychological Health, Avoidance of Drugs, and Accident Prevention dimensions showed no significant between-group differences.
Conclusion: The IDEAL Discharge Program incorporating the teach-back technique significantly improved overall lifestyle behaviors in patients with CAD and provides a practical framework for supporting post-discharge self-management in cardiac care settings.
