Results before intervention there was no significant difference between intervention and control groups regarding family support (Asymp. Sig. = 0.853), as well as regard level of adherence (Asymp. Sig. = 0.785). After intervention, there were significant differences regarding family support (Asymp. Sig. = 0.000) and level of adherence (Asymp. Sig. = 0.000). There were significant differences regarding family support and adherence, before and after the intervention, both in intervention and control groups (Asymp. Sig. = 0.000). Video is effective increasing family support (average 47.23%) and compliance (average 53.07%), with moderate effectiveness. The Randomized controlled trials (RCTs), the larger sample sizes, longer follow-up periods, and objectives and outcomes measurements face limitations in the study.
