Advanced nursing practice (ANP) is a high degree of knowledge, skill and experience that is applied within the nurse-consumer relationship to achieve optimal outcomes through critical analysis, problem solving and accurate decision-making [1]. ANP has always existed because nursing is continually evolving, and this might be reflecting on patients and community service needs [2]. Besides, the role of the advanced nurse has grown continuously over the last centuries due to pressures related to reimbursement and managed care, a growing patient advocacy, and changing attitudes about role of nurses. As a result, these phenomena were helpful in developing role of nurse [3].
Aims of study: The study aims to assess the information needed of patients with coronary artery disease and healthy individuals in terms of diet and exercise method in Erbil city.      Methods: A descriptive cross sectional design used to compare and assess knowledge of coronary artery disease patients to a healthy individual on diet and exercise pattern. Seventy-two participants answered questionnaires and took part in the present study; 36 coronary artery disease patients and 36 healthy individuals. The patients received advice from their doctors at their admission.Results: The current survey illustrates that the highest percentage 19 (52.8%) of coronary artery disease patients had fair level of knowledge on diet. In contrast, 26 (72.2%) of healthy individuals had poor knowledge on diet. 22 (61.1%) of coronary artery disease patients had fair knowledge on exercise and 21 (58.3%) of healthy persons had fair knowledge on exercise. 26 (72.2%) of coronary artery disease patients had fair knowledge on both diet and exercise compared with a healthy individual who had fair knowledge on diet and exercise 18 (50%) without any instruction program. Conclusion: As revealed in this study, a larger number of the patients with coronary artery disease had overall fair knowledge regarding diet and exercise than the healthy individuals, and this significant difference can be attributed to the fact that coronary artery disease patients are more careful about and pay more attention to their health and diet. Recommendations: Education program needs to be introduced for coronary artery disease patients by the nurse in teaching hospitals on diet and performing structured, planned and repetitive exercise. Furthermore, healthy persons should be encouraged to participate in performing regular exercise pattern and importance of diet in preventing coronary artery disease.Keywords: Coronary Artery Disease, Healthy person, Diet, Exercise.

Hypertension and diabetes mellitus (DM) are the two major inter-correlated risk factors of cardiovascular diseases, which considered as the major causes of morbidity and mortality. This study is set up to determine control rate, and the social demographic and health related behaviours risk factors in association with control rate in hypertensive and/or diabetes patients who are under treatment. Cross sectional study was carried out in this study. Data have been collected by well-trained paramedics through direct interviews using structured questionnaire with the participants. A conventional sampling which is one of the main types of non-probability method was used for collecting data. SPSS version 16 was used for analysing data. 338 patients were recruited into the study, 150(44.1%) of participants with hypertension,88(25.9%) with diabetes and the rest 100(29.4%) with both diseases. Patients who diagnosed with hypertension weremore under control 83 (55.3%) in comparison with diabetic23(26.1%) and patients who were diagnosed both conditions 18(18.0%). High control rate was observed in hypertension patients compared to diabetes and those diagnosed both conditions. Cor morbidity was the main cause of uncontrolled rate.
Background: Hypertension and diabetes mellitus are chronic diseases, therefore; they had negative effect on quality of life of affected patients. Aim: The aim of this study was to assess health related to quality of life of hypertensive and diabetes mellitus patients through measuring their socioeconomic status, medical conditioning and co-morbidity. Methodology: This is cross sectional study that has been carried out in Kurdistan- Iraq. Health Survey Questionnaire, Short form-12 was used for measuring health related quality of life.

Health related quality of life among hypertensive and diabetes mellitus patients were poor in Kurdistan. On the other hand, poor health related quality of life was less observed in hypertension patients 39.7±1.7 as compared with diabetic patients 41.9±1.6.Participants who were female, elder, did not have spouse and did not have job and/or retired were significantly and negatively associated with poor health related quality of life. Conclusions: Health related quality of life among hypertensive and diabetes mellitus patients were poor in Kurdistan as compared with other countries.
