BACKGROUND: Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the most common cardiovascular diseasesaffecting quality of life and adherence to treatment. This study aimed at assessing the impacts of aneducational program based on the Belief, Attitude, Subjective Norm, and Enabling Factors (BASNEF)Model on quality of life and adherence to treatment in patients with MI.MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present quasi‑experimental study was conducted on eightypatients with MI admitted to hospitals affiliated to Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences in 2019,which were selected by the convenience sampling and then randomly divided into intervention andcontrol groups. The intervention group received a BASNEF model‑based educational‑supportiveintervention including three 45‑min training sessions and three months’ follow‑up individually foreach participant. Data were collected by Ferrans and Powers Quality of Life Index (QLI)‑CardiacVersion, Modanloo Adherence to Treatment Questionnaire (MATQ) and questionnaire modified basedon BASNEF model constructs. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version. 22 softwareusing the descriptive and analytical statistical test.RESULTS: The total score of the MATQ and its subscales had significantly improved in the interventiongroup after the intervention (P < 0.001). The total score of the QLI and its subscales had significantlyimproved in the intervention group after the intervention (P < 0.001) In addition, the mean scores of themodel constructs had significantly improved after the intervention in the intervention group (P < 0.001).CONCLUSION: The results of this study showed that applying BASNEF model‑based educationalinterventions can lead to improved quality of life and adherence to treatment in the patients with MI.Therefore, this model can be used to reduce the complications of MI.
