Description of Project:
Kidney transplantation has improved survival for patients with end-stage kidney disease. However, non-adherence to treatment regimens is a major risk factor for acute rejection and graft loss. Little is known about the perspectives of kidney transplant recipients on medicine taking.
What this project involves
- Systematic review of qualitative studies on the experiences and perspectives of kidney transplant recipients on medicine taking
- Semi-structured face to face interviews with adult kidney transplant recipients
