Background:The main cause of mortality in the developed world is coronary artery disease. Low self-efficacy and self-esteem are associated with it. Self-efficacy is a critical, adjustable personal resource that influences rehabilitation adherence and disease outcomes including health-related quality of life in persons with cardiovascular disease. Aim: This study was aimed to determine the effect of social-platform educational instructions on self-efficacy and self-esteem of patients with coronary artery diseases. Subjects and method: Design: A quasi-experimental research design was utilized. Setting: The study was applied in the cardiology unit and outpatients' clinics at Port-Said University Hospital. Subjects: A Purposive sample of (80) adult patients diagnosed with coronary artery disease. Participants were equally and randomly allocated to an intervention and a control group, (40) patients for each one. Tools for data collection: Tool (1) a structured interviewing questionnaire, Tool (2) cardiac self-efficacy scale, Tool (3) cardiac exercise self-efficacy scale, Tool (4) Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory, and Tool (5) adult patients' satisfaction with socialplatform educational instructions. Results: The study result portrays that (82.5%) of the study group and (72.5%) of the control group were of the same age from 30-≤ 60 groups with a mean age (45.21 ± 7.02) (46.61 ± 10.43) respectively. The majority of the patients in the study group had satisfactory knowledge levels, and had high cardiac self-efficacy, self-esteem, and practice exercise self-efficacy post-social-platform educational instructions implementation. The mean score of selfefficacy in the intervention group significantly increased across the two measurement time points as well as self-esteem, while it remained significantly unchanged in the control group. Conclusion: Regarding knowledge, cardiac self-efficacy, cardiac exercise self-efficacy post, and after two months of social-platform educational instructions, there was a statistically significant difference between the study and control groups. Social-platform educational instructions were effective and significantly improved adult patients' knowledge, self-efficacy, and self-esteem. Recommendations: We recommend interventions to improve patient's compliance with treatment should be encouraged. Therefore, nurses can use this strategy to improve these patients' selfefficacy and self-esteem.

Methods: A quasi-experimental design was conducted for this study (experimental /control group). Setting: The study was conducted at Damanhur University Hospital, Egypt. Sample: A purposive sample of 100 patients with hypertension was divided randomly and assigned into two groups (50 intervention groups and 50 control groups) from the beginning of September 2021 to the end of February 2022.  Tools: two tools were used for data collection, tool I: A structured questionnaire designed based on the BASNEF model components. Tool II: checklist about patient's self-control behaviors concerning blood pressure control. Results: The mean total scores of all BASNEF Model components were significantly improved post-intervention in the experimental group compared to the control group (P < 0.001).
