This descriptive study was conducted between January 2014 and September 2014 on 126 patients with cardiovascular disease and 109 relatives. Data were collected by the researcher using questionnaire form, Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors Knowledge Level (CARRF-KL) scale and Healthy Living Style Behaviors Scale-II (HLSBS-II). It has been determined that the total CARRF-KL and HLSBS-II score average of patients and their relatives were 18.7¡À4.1, 19.3¡À5.8 and 117.9¡À19.1, 119.7¡À23.2, respectively. There was a positive, moderate, and statistically significant relationship (r=0.551, p<0.01) between the CARRIF-BD and the HLSBS-II scales of the patients and a positive, weak, and significant relationship (r=0.398, p<0.01) between KARR£¿F-BD and HLSBS-II scales of the patients' relatives. It is recommended that nurses be given education about cardiovascular disease risk factors, prevention and management to patients and their relative %K Kardiyovask¨¹ler hastal£¿k risk fakt£¿r¨¹ %K hasta %K hasta yak£¿n£¿ %K sa£¿l£¿kl£¿ ya£¿am bi£¿imi %K hem£¿irelik %U http://dergipark.org.tr/eujhs/issue/44573/553197
