Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Intervention	Patient education	The training program was applied by the researcher who also work as an academic nurse. The contact information of the patients was obtained and the contact information of the researcher was also given to the patients. In order to consolidate the information given, the training guide was given to the patients in the intervention group. After the training, the patients in the intervention group were contacted again in the 2nd week by using face-to-face interview and in the 4th-8th and 12th weeks by phone calls. During these interviews, the questions of the patients, if any, were answered and the problems they faced regarding the disease management were tried to be solved. In the last interview, an appointment day was determined to meet face-to-face at home, workplaces or hospital according to the preferences of the patients.

In the form allowing Likert-type evaluation, the participant is expected to select one of the options 0 (never), 1 (very rarely), 2 (sometimes), 3 (most of the time) or 4 (always) while expressing his/her compliance level for each adaptation area. The scores corresponding to the given expression are summed and Compliance Questionnaire score for each participant is determined. The score range that can be obtained for each subscale is 0-4. The Compliance Questionnaire total scores is between 0-44. High scores mean a better as it an increase in the compliance level to the disease.
