  Figure 1. Hypothetical model of perceived adherence to treatment and related factors. Abbreviations: AMI, acute myocardial infarction; CABG, coronary artery bypass crafting; CHD, coronary heart disease; LDL, low‐density lipoprotein; PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention

  Figure 2. Testing covariances and correlations between the instruments used in the study. Note: *p < .05, **p < .01, ***p < .001. Abbreviations: ACDI, adherence of people with chronic disease instrument; A‐VAS, adherence visual analogue scale; EQ‐VAS, EuroQoL visual analogue scale; SSCHDI, social support for people with coronary heart disease instrument

  Figure 3. Testing the hypothetical model including the factors directly and indirectly associated with adherence to treatment among patients with coronary heart disease after percutaneous coronary intervention. The effects of the standardized estimates were evaluated as follows: the estimates had a weak effect if the values were <0.10, medium effect if the values were ~0.30 and they had a major effect if the values were >0.5. Covariances: informational support–support from physicians***, physical activity—informational support*, consumption of vegetables—physical activity***, consumption of vegetables—gender*** (Note: *p < .05, **p ≤ .01, ***p ≤ .001).
