Materials and Methods: This study was descriptive, cross-sectional, and relational. Data collection tools used were the ‘Patient Information Form’, ‘Morisky Medication-taking Adherence Scale (MMAS-4)’, ‘Recovery Assessment Scale (RAS)’, and the ‘Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS)’. Results: Of the participants, 22.3% had low treatment adherence. There were statistically significant correlations between the treatment adherence scale with the RAS personal confidence and hope, RAS willingness to ask for help subscales, and RAS total points between all dimensions of the multidimensional perceived social support scale and all dimensions of the RAS (p <0.05). The diagnosis was determined to affect treatment adherence points (F=5.041, p <0.05). RAS total points had a negative effect on treatment adherence (β= -0.011; p <0.050) but a positive effect on MSPSS points (β= 0.447; p <0.001). Conclusion: In the study, it was found that as recovery status increased, the patient’s adherence to treatment decreased, and as the perceived social support increased, the level of recovery (RAS) increased.}, number={3}, publisher={Oğuz KARABAY}
