In the intervention group, self-management training was provided by return training method, and in the control group, routine training was provided. To collect data, the Moriski medication adherence questionnaire and the Midas dietry compliance questionnaire were completed before and after the intervention. Data analysis was performed using SPSS statistical software (version 20), and Chi-square, Fisher, independent t-test, and paired t-test. Results: Based on the findings of the present research, the mean scores of the medication and nutritional adherence in the two groups before the intervention were not significantly different (P<0.05). However, after the intervention, medication and nutritional adherence of the intervention group was significantly increased compared to the control group (P<0.05).
