What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • effectiveness of educationBehavioural

    The education program will be prepared using power point presentations within the relevant scientific literature. The education program is planned to be given to each group as 1 session on 2 different days, between 09:30 and 13:00. Day 1 module 1; Module 2 will be shared on the 2nd day and all patients in the experimental group will participate in the education program. During and after the education, individuals will be provided with the opportunity to ask questions. In addition, after the education, the researcher's phone will be given and counseling will be provided by phone. The duration and subject of the telephone conversations will be recorded by the researcher.

    In order to evaluate the training, all patients will be invited to the hospital on the day of the control at the end of 12 and 24 weeks, and evaluations will be made again with data collection tools.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Medication Adherence Report Scale-5

    Medication Adherence Report Scale-5: Scores from the 5-point Likert-type scale vary between 5 and 25. An increase in the obtained scores indicates compatibility, and a decrease in scores indicates inconsistency.

    Measured: 24 weeks

  2. MedTake Test

    MedTake Test: It is used to evaluate the use of prescribed oral drugs and to numerically show patients' compliance with drug treatments. With the scale, the daily dose, time and frequency of taking the drug, its effect and reason for taking it, and its relationship with food (hungry-full) are evaluated for each drug. For these 4 parameters, patients score out of 25. In total, the level of knowledge for each drug is scored out of 100. Compliance score for all treatments is calculated with all scores of the patients. Compliance score of the participants in the study is calculated with the total compliance score obtained by each participant.

    Measured: 24 weeks

  3. Liver Disease Symptom Index 2.0

    Liver Disease Symptom Index 2.0: The scale is divided into two parts and includes 24 questions in total. The first part consists of a total of 18 questions, 9 main and 9 sub-questions, questioning the effects of the disease in the last 1 week, and the second part consists of 6 main questions questioning the effects of the disease from the time the patient learned about the disease to the present. The answer to each question in the scale receives a score between a minimum of '1' and a maximum of '5'. '1' is the lowest score; '5' represents the highest score. Higher scores from the scale indicate worse quality of life.

    Measured: 24 weeks

  4. Composite 12 İtem Short Form Health Survey

    Composite 12 İtem Short Form Health Survey: It has a physical and mental component. Both the Physical Component Scale-12 and the Mental Component Scale-12 scores range from 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating better health.

    Measured: 24 weeks
