The patients of observation group received routine nursing and the patients of observation group received positive psychological intervention. After intervention, the treatment adherence, behavior of self-management and quality of life were investigated.

The scores of SF-36 in the observation group were all higher than those of the control group except the dimension of body pain (P<0.05). The medical adherence of the observation group was obviously higher than that of the control group (P<0.01).
