The aim of this study was to investigate follow-up compliance behavior and related factors for hepatitis carriers. 150 carriers with chronic hepatitis were selected by convenient sampling at a medical center. A structured questionnaire was used for data collection. A total of 126 patients (84%) responded effectively. Data were analyzed using independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Schaffer's method, and Pearson's Correlation. Of these patients, 53.2% had a poor adherence to follow-up. Characteristics associated with better knowledge regarding hepatitis included a higher level of education (F=6.52, p<0.05), full-time work (F=4.04, p<0.05), and young age (r=0.263, p<0.0l). Greater knowledge of hepatitis was significantly correlated with a better adherence to follow-up (t=5.78, p<0.05). These findings might help medical professionals understand the factors associated with hepatitis knowledge and adherence to follow-up in chronic hepatitis carriers, providing a reference for following patients in clinical practice.
