Abstract

he aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of anger management and relaxation skills training on decreasing of anxiety, depression and anger among heart patients after bypass surgery.
In this quasi- experimental design, 40 coronary heart patients aged 35-65 years, having first bypass, were selected and randomly assigned to experiment and control groups. To measurement of variables, Beck anxiety and Beck depression Inventories and Anger Scale of MMPI-2 were used. Data were analyzed using the one way analysis of covariance.  The findings revealed that skills training schedule of anger management and relaxation significantly decreased anxiety (p<0/001), depression (p<0/001) and anger (p<0/001) among patients.
 Regarding the effectiveness of training of anger management and relaxation on decreasing of negative emotions among patients, manipulating this method seems essential in all stages of prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease.
