Abstract

2Abstract Aim. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of health literacy, knowledge of Heart failure and Social support with adherence to medical treatment in patients with Heart failure.

Factors influencing the prognosis include comorbidities, disease severity, age and sex differences, inadequate health literacy, poor adherence to medication, poor knowledge, and poor Social support.

Median (interquartile range) age of the samples was 55 (41-65) years, and 172 (57.33%) were male and 128 (42.66%) were female. In this study, there was a statistically significant relationship of health literacy (P=0.029, r=0.13) and knowledge of Heart failure (P=0.02, r=0.13) with adherence to medical treatment. But there was no significant correlation between Social support and adherence to medical treatment. Conclusion.
