Objective: The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of lifestyle-based stress management program on emotional problems and life satisfaction in patients with myocardial infarction. Method: This research was quasi-experimental with pre-test, post-test and control group. The statistical population of this research consisted of all patients aged 40-65 years old with myocardial infarction who were under treatment at Kasra Hospital in Karaj in the first six months of 2019. The study sample consisted of 90 patients with heart attack who were identified among the patients and selected by targeted sampling method and randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups. Data were collected using the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale as well as the Satisfaction With Life Scale. The collected data were analyzed using the method of Multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). Results: Multivariate analysis of covariance showed that the lifestyle-based stress management program significantly reduced emotional problems and increased life satisfaction in the experimental group (p Conclusions: The stress management program helped patients identify dysfunctional thoughts that trigger anxiety and depression and experience fewer emotional problems by feeling self-control, attention management, changing the assessment system and using cognitive strategies. Also, by identifying and correcting irrational attitudes and beliefs, the subjects were able to better cope with the physical effects of the disease or to deal with its negative psychological complications and have more life satisfaction. These findings have important implications for education and promoting mental health of patients with myocardial infarction.

Research has shown the existence of anxiety, depression, and poor quality of life among cardiovascular patients ( Moryś, Bellwon, Höfer, Rynkiewicz & Gruchała, 2016; Adebayo, Olunuga, Durodola & Ogah, 2017; Shad, Salari, Delvandi, Hassan Dokht, Khairkhah, Nouri Saeed & Javadzadeh Moghtadder, 2018).
Saleh (2017) in her study aiming at the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral stress management training on quality of life and clinical symptoms of cardiovascular patients showed that the difference between the overall mean of quality of life in the two experimental and control groups was significant.
Regarding the psychological problems of this group of patients and in order to determine the impact of these interventions, the present study seeks to answer the fundamental question of whether the lifestyle-based stress management is effective in reducing emotional problems and increasing life satisfaction of patients with myocardial infarction.
Results Table 2 shows the mean and standard deviation of emotional problems and life satisfaction in patients with myocardial infarction in both control and experimental groups based on pre-test and post-test.
Based on the results of the study, behavioral cognitive stress management training can increase the quality of life and reduce the clinical rate of patients with heart disease.
