There was no significant difference between the two study tracks ( > 0.05) in the demographic data and adherence to medication in the pretest. The differences between the two intervention groups throughout the one-month follow-up were statistically significant ( < 0.05). There were significant differences between the two intervention groups in pretest and post-test, and pretest and follow-up ( < 0.05).
