A transversal descriptive study of 738 patients with celiac disease was carried out. A series of questionnaires were answered related to their HRQoL, adherence to a gluten-free diet (GFD), and self-efficacy beliefs among other relevant variables. Regression analyses were carried out in order to explore the predictive variables in adherence to the GFD and HRQoL. A total of 61.2% showed a good HRQoL, and the main predictors of HRQoL were specific self-efficacy, adherence to the diet, risk perception, time since diagnosis, and age. While 68.7% of participants showed good or excellent adherence to the GFD, and the main predictors of adherence were specific self-efficacy, perceived adoption of recommended behaviors, HRQoL and gender. The HRQoL of patients with CD, and adherence to the GFD in Spain, are good. It is the self-efficacy expectation, measured specifically and not generally, which is the best predictor of both adherence and HRQoL. It is necessary to develop programs to improve the HRQoL of patients with CD that focus on improving specific self-efficacy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu12092672","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,2]],"date-time":"2020-09-02T09:29:28Z","timestamp":1599038968000},"page":"2672","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Influence of Compliance to Diet and Self-Efficacy Expectation on Quality of Life in Patients with Celiac Disease in Spain"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Ricardo","family":"Fueyo-D\u00edaz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology and Sociology, Universidad de Zaragoza, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain"},{"name":"Aragon Institute of Health Science IACS, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain"},{"name":"Aragon Health Research Institute IISA, Group B21-17R, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain"},{"name":"RediAPP Primary Care Prevention and Promotion Network RD16\/07\/05, Institute of Health Carlos III, 28029 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Miguel","family":"Montoro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aragon Institute of Health Science IACS, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain"},{"name":"Unit of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition, Hospital General San Jorge, 22004 Huesca, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rosa","family":"Magall\u00f3n-Botaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aragon Health Research Institute IISA, Group B21-17R, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain"},{"name":"RediAPP Primary Care Prevention and Promotion Network RD16\/07\/05, Institute of Health Carlos III, 28029 Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Department of Medicine Psychiatry and Dermatology, University of Zaragoza, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3723-0673","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Santiago","family":"Gasc\u00f3n-Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology and Sociology, Universidad de Zaragoza, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain"},{"name":"Aragon Institute of Health Science IACS, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"\u00c1ngela","family":"Asensio-Mart\u00ednez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology and Sociology, Universidad de Zaragoza, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain"},{"name":"Aragon Institute of Health Science IACS, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain"},{"name":"Aragon Health Research Institute IISA, Group B21-17R, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain"},{"name":"RediAPP Primary Care Prevention and Promotion Network RD16\/07\/05, Institute of Health Carlos III, 28029 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9408-1280","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guillermo","family":"Palacios-Navarro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronic Engineering and Communications, University of Zaragoza, 50018 Zaragoza, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1272-7365","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan J.","family":"Sebasti\u00e1n-Domingo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aragon Institute of Health Science IACS, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain"},{"name":"Department of Medicine Psychiatry and Dermatology, University of Zaragoza, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain"},{"name":"Department of Digestive Diseases, Hospital Royo Villanova, 50015 Zaragoza, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Killewo, J., Heggenhougen, H., and Quah, S.
