Evaluation of Anxiety, Self-Management and Compliance with Immunosuppressive Therapy in Kidney Transplant Recipients

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate anxiety, self-management and treatment adherence in kidney transplant recipients. Materials and Methods: The participants consisted of 29 people who applied to the Organ Transplant Center at Gaziantep University between April and June 2023 and were voluntary to participate in the study. Results: Severe anxiety was observed in all participants. The self-management of kidney transplant recipients had a direct correlation with early detecting and coping with abnormalities after kidney transplantation, self-care behavior in daily life and stress management, and finally self-monitoring. Also, their self-management had a direct correlation with early detecting and coping with abnormalities after kidney transplantation in terms of adherence to immunosuppressive therapy (p<0.001). Conclusion: This study revealed that all participants suffered from severe anxiety and that kidney transplant recipients on immunosuppressive therapy lacked medication adherence and self-management.
