The data collection process of the study was carried out in two stages using data collection tools. First stage: Personal Information Form and Compliance Questionnaire were applied to all patients in both groups. After anthropometric measurements, Framingham Risk Score was determined. The data collection forms were filled with the patients using face-to-face interview technique. The data collection process lasted for approximately 10-15 minutes. After the data collection, the patients in the intervention group were trained. No training was given to the patients in the control group but they received a "Coronary Artery Disease Management Guide". Second stage: 12 weeks after the first interview, the patients were interviewed again face-to-face interview technique and the forms and measurements applied initially were repeated.

Compliance Questionnaire Scores of the Participants

Compliance Questionnaire is a form allowing to investigate 11 different areas such as the use of medication causing maladaptation in disease management in individuals with chronic illnesses, diet, weight loss, limiting physical activity, exercise, coping with stress, alcohol use, smoking, sexual activity problems, caffeine intake and working/job life. In the form allowing Likert-type evaluation, the participant is expected to select one of the options 0 (never), 1 (very rarely), 2 (sometimes), 3 (most of the time) or 4 (always) while expressing his/her compliance level for each adaptation area. The scores corresponding to the given expression are summed and Compliance Questionnaire score for each participant is determined. The score range that can be obtained for each subscale is 0-4. The Compliance Questionnaire total scores is between 0-44. High scores mean a better as it an increase in the compliance level to the disease.
