Adherence to compression garment wear and the associated factors were examined. These factors were compared between patients who were wearing and who were not wearing compression garments as recommended. The study was completed with 60 patients. Twenty-five percent of the patients used custom-made compression garment. The rate of patients wearing compression garments as per recommendation was 51.7% (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200931). The most common reasons for not wearing\/discontinuation included functional difficulties in daily life (33%) and discomfort (28.8%). Compared according to the factors with potential impact on wearing, the rate of garment wear as per recommendation was statistically significantly higher in patients who had modified radical mastectomy than in those who had breast-conserving surgery (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.038).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although standard information was provided to the patients, the adherence to compression garments was nonoptimal. The economic status of the patients is one of the main factors affecting the choice of compression garments and thus their adherence. To improve the adherence to this method, which is the basis of maintenance treatment of lymphedema, training programs to reduce patient beliefs and anxiety that are tailored to individual needs can be useful.
