The diagnosis was determined to affect treatment adherence points insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(F=5.041, p<0.05);. RAS total points had a negative effect on treatment adherence insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(β= -0.011; p<0.050); but a positive effect on MSPSS points insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(β= 0.447; p<0.001);.
