N2 - The study aimed to assess pharmacotherapy knowledge, drug related problems, treatment effectiveness and satisfaction and quality of life among chronic cardiovascular patients. A single-centered cross-sectional study was conducted among cardiovascular patients. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to examine association of different clinical and sociodemographic correlates with therapy knowledge, drug related problems, treatment effectiveness, and therapy satisfaction. Data from 387 cardiovascular patients were collected with 33.6% males and 66.4% females. Regarding therapy knowledge and occurrence of DRPs, comorbidities other than CVDs and disease duration were observed statically significant (p = 0.015 and p = 0.007, respectively) in univariate analysis. In multivariate analysis, both of variables (correlates) were also reported statistically significant (p = 0.036 and p = 0.029, respectively). Regarding treatment effectiveness and therapy satisfaction, in univariate analysis, gender (p = 0.003) and comorbidities other than CVDs (p = 0.005) were statistically significant and in logistic regression, both of them were also statistically significant (p = 0.033 and p = 0.039, respectively). Gender, comorbidities other than CVDs and disease duration were observed as clinical and sociodemographic correlates of therapy knowledge, drug related problems, treatment effective-ness, and therapy satisfaction among chronic cardiovascular patients.
