Article Abstract
Background: Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases affecting quality of life and adherence to treatment. This study aimed at assessing the impacts of an educational program based on the Belief, Attitude, Subjective Norm, and Enabling Factors (BASNEF) Model on quality of life and adherence to treatment in patients with MI.
Materials And Methods: The present quasi-experimental study was conducted on eighty patients with MI admitted to hospitals affiliated to Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences in 2019, which were selected by the convenience sampling and then randomly divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received a BASNEF model-based educational-supportive intervention including three 45-min training sessions and three months' follow-up individually for each participant. Data were collected by Ferrans and Powers Quality of Life Index (QLI)-Cardiac Version, Modanloo Adherence to Treatment Questionnaire (MATQ) and questionnaire modified based on BASNEF model constructs. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version. 22 software using the descriptive and analytical statistical test.
Results: The total score of the MATQ and its subscales had significantly improved in the intervention group after the intervention ( < 0.001). The total score of the QLI and its subscales had significantly improved in the intervention group after the intervention ( < 0.001) In addition, the mean scores of the model constructs had significantly improved after the intervention in the intervention group ( < 0.001).
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that applying BASNEF model-based educational interventions can lead to improved quality of life and adherence to treatment in the patients with MI. Therefore, this model can be used to reduce the complications of MI.

Background: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a major clinical challenge, particularly among patients with refractory ulcers, that often lead to severe complications such as infection, amputation, and high mortality. Innovations supported by strong clinical evidence have the potential to improve healing outcomes, enhance quality of life, and reduce the economic burden on individuals and health care systems.
Objective: To describe the design of the concurrent optical and magnetic stimulation (COMS) therapy Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) study for refractory DFUs (MAVERICKS) trial.

Background: Health professions students may encounter a range of stressors during their clinical education that may impact their quality of life. This study aimed to explore how various health professions students perceive their quality of life and the environment in which they develop their clinical skills.
Methods: An online survey was administered among registered undergraduate students in the physiotherapy, speech-language pathology, nursing, or medical programs.
Monitoring Gait Recovery After Total Knee Arthroplasty Using Wearable Sensors: Responsiveness of Gait Accelerations.

Functional recovery after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) varies widely among individuals, and traditional assessments often fail to detect subtle changes in real-world walking ability. Wearable sensors offer continuous and objective tracking of gait outside of clinical settings. In this prospective, longitudinal study, thirty-one patients undergoing unilateral TKA wore thigh-mounted accelerometers continuously from 2 weeks before surgery through 90 days postoperatively.

Background: There is increasing interest in using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) to assess quality of life (QoL) following hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT). However, there is limited consensus on how such data should be collected within HCT services. This survey study investigated health professionals (HCPs) views towards QoL data collection and factors affecting the use of PROMs within HCT centres in the UK.

In the past century, the human Lifespan has doubled. However, this is not equivalent to Healthspan which refers to the number of years spent healthy and free from disease. Women have an additional level of complexity on the path to optimal healthspan where health resilience dramatically decreases following menopause and this is due to their ovaries aging by midlife.
