Why the study?
The study was conducted to determine the effect of medication and dietary compliance on rehospitalization and quality of life in patients with HF.
Does medication and dietary compliance correlate with reduced rehospitalization and improved quality of life in patients with heart failure?
Does medication and dietary compliance correlate with reduced rehospitalization and improved quality of life in patients with heart failure?
Higher perceived benefits of medication and dietary compliance are significantly associated with better quality of life and fewer rehospitalizations in patients with heart failure.

Compliance with medication and diet was linked to fewer HF readmissions and better QoL; observational data leaves causal effects open for trials.
Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of medication and dietary compliance on rehospitalization and quality of life of patients with heart failure (HF). Method: This descriptive correlational study comprised 170 patients with HF. The Patient Identification Questionnaire, Beliefs about Dietary Compliance Scale, Beliefs about Medication Compliance Scale, and Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire were used to collect data. Numbers, percentages, mean, independent t-test, analysis of variance, and Pearson correlation analysis were used in the evaluation of the data. Results: The benefit perception scores of patients in the medication and dietary compliance were at a higher level, and the quality of life total score was at a moderate level. As the number of hospitalizations increased, the quality of life decreased. In addition, medication and dietary compliance affected the rehospitalization and quality of life. Conclusion: On the basis of the obtained results, this study recommended to impart training to the patients by the nurses about medication and dietary compliance and also to increase the counseling programs.
