This exploration reveals provider insights on improving medication adherence in adolescent transplant patients, highlighting critical intervention needs.
Solid organ transplantation is viewed as a chronic illness that requires strict adherence to a complex post-transplant medical regimen. Adolescent transplant recipients are most at risk for serious and potentially fatal outcomes as a result of poor medication adherence. There are several psychosocial and behavioral factors that contribute to nonadherence, but few well-studied psychological interventions exist. Provider perspectives are crucial to understanding the unique needs of this population to inform effective and acceptable interventions.
