Methods Totally 154 patients were recruited. The social support scale, the modified Chinese Version Morisky Medication Adherence Scale( MMAS-8) and belief about medicine scale were used and the information on patients were collected through clinic and telephone interviews. Results The social support was correlated with belief about medicine (r=0.441, P<0.05). The belief about medicine was correlated with adherence to anticoagulation treatment (r=0.441, P<0.05). The social support was correlated with adherence to anticoagulation treatment (r=0.300, P<0.05) . The mediator effect of the belief about medicine was tested between social support and adherence to anticoagulation treatment. In the result, with the influence of belief about medicine .The social support was not correlated with adherence to anticoagulation treatment ( B=0.020,P>0. 05).
