“…Therefore, bibliotherapy played an important role in preventing the recurrence of depression and restoring the social function of the patients, which is consistent with the results of other relevant studies [22]. Some studies [23,24] indicated that the factor of social support was highly negatively correlated with depression. The current study showed that bibliotherapy improved the status of social support in the patients with depression during the rehabilitation period.…”

“…13 Six years after CABG, regular exercisers reported better perceived health. 14 Female CABG patients exhibited more depression and poorer functional status than male patients both preoperatively and postoperatively, 15 but both genders benefited similarly from the operation. 16 Low social support is often associated with depression, and it is important to consider the combined effects of depression and social support on the progression of the CHD.…”

“…Considering the outcomes of valve replacement, prolonged and repetitive hospitalization of these patients need a long-life care (8). The right use of oral anticoagulants decreases the complications of thromboemboli significantly (9). The annual risk ratio of thromboemboli among the warfarin users and non-users are 1% and 4%, respectively (10).…”

Background:Several reports, however, not comprehensive, have been presented about the experiences of patients with replaced heart-valve.Objectives:This study explores the experiences of the patients with heart valve replacement.Patients and Methods:A qualitative research with a content analysis approach was carried out on the patients with cardiac valve replacement during the year 2012 and 2013. A purposeful sampling using a semi-structured interview and open-ended questions (with the main question of "What problems did you have after the valve replacement?" followed by the exploratory questions) were performed until the data saturation. All interviews were recorded, then transcribed and typed. The data analysis was done according to Grancheim and Lundmen content analysis using the MAXQDA software.Results:Of 22 interviews taken from 13 participants, 430 codes were taken. Out of them, after deleting the similar items, 162 initial, 18 subcategory, and 5 subsidiary themes (problematic exposure with valve replacement, continuity of some difficulties, aggravation of life problems, insufficient support, and following a perceived care) were extracted. Based on the abstract and deep perception of the categories, the main theme of "difficult life" was explored.Conclusions:Aggravation and the continuity of some physical problems, and insufficient support after the valve replacement make the life difficult for the patients. Identification of these problems is necessary for planning and improvement of the patients' care, life quality, and survival through consultations, rehabilitation and education.
