The collected data was analyzed for frequency, percentage, average, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA and Pearson's correlation coefficient. with the help of SPSS 21.0 program. Results: The subject's knowledge on chronic hepatitis C expressed as percentage was 67.1%. Compliance of the research participants gained $3.96({\pm}0.76)$ points in general on a 5-point scale. Learned compliance was higher when the patients were 45 years old and over. female and with spouse. There was a statistically significantly positive correlation between knowledge and compliances.
