Data were collected using Broadbent's Illness Perception, Zimet's Perceived Social Support, coping with the stressful situations of Endler & Parker, and Modanloo's Adherence questionnaires. then, through the Pearson correlation coefficient, bootstrap and Sobel were analyzed using SPSS and AMOS (version 24).
Results: The results showed Perceived social support (p<0.05), Illness perception, and coping strategies (p<0.001) have a direct, positive, and significant effect on Treatment Adherence. Also, Illness perception on coping strategies (p<0.001) and perceived social support on coping strategies (Problem-Focused and Avoidance strategies, p<0.001; Emotion-Focused, p<0.01), have a direct, positive, and significant impact. The results of the Sobel test showed that the Illness Perception through coping strategies (Problem-Focused Strategy, p˂0.001; Emotion-Focused and Avoidance, p˂0.01) had an indirect, positive and significant effect on treatment adherence. Perceived social support is also due to coping strategies (Problem-Focused Strategy, p˂0.001; Emotion-Focused, p˂0.05; Avoidance, p˂0.01) having an indirect, positive and significant effect on treatment adherence.
Conclusions: According to the research findings, planning and goals can be designed to promote Illness Perception and the necessity of social support, and training the use of effective coping strategies in cardiovascular patients.
