ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Nonadherence to medical treatment in transplant recipients is a major risk factor for graft rejection episodes, and it has significant financial implications. Despite its importance, there is a lack of common understanding across the disciplines involved of the key issues driving nonadherence.METHODS:
A qualitative study, comprising a multidisciplinary workshop, followed by a consultation exercise to validate its outcomes, was initiated to gain further insight into nonadherence behavior and to identify priorities for optimizing adherence to posttransplantation regimens.RESULTS:
Eight statements relating to actions necessary to maximize adherence to posttransplantation medication were developed and offered for validation. All but one of these attracted a median score of 9 on an agreement scale of 1 to 10, where 10 was the highest level of agreement.CONCLUSION:
The outcomes generate a structure that will facilitate communication and understanding and informing clinical practice and future research.
