Patients allocated into control and intervention group randomly (n=32). Palliative care training was done for intervention group for six weeks. Data was gathered through the Cardiac Self-Efficacy Scale (CSES) on three time points (before, immediately, and one month after intervention). Data were analyzed in SPSS-18 using independent t-test, chi-squared, Fisher’s exact, and repeated-measures ANOVA with corrected Bonferroni post-hoc test. <strong>Results:</strong> Finding showed that before intervention the mean scores of self-efficacy in intervention and control group was 23.95±8.34 and 24.11±9.41, respectively. Immediate and one month after intervention it was 26.30±8.30 vs. 28.95±8.53 in intervention group and 24.68±9.32 vs. 25.53±10.39 in control group. In intervention group there was no significant difference between the mean scores of before with immediate and one month after intervention. However, there was a significant difference between the two time follow up in both intervention (p<0.0001) and control (p<0.003) groups. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Although the education of palliative care has increased the ability to care in elderly, it seems that self-managing in complex conditions is required follow-up over time.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Revista del Cuerpo Médico Hospital Nacional Almanzor Aguinaga Asenjo}, author={Modanloo, Mahnaz and Tazikeh-Lemeski, Ameneh and Kolagari, Shohreh}, year={2020}, month={ene.}, pages={201–207} }
