This study was conducted in a descriptive and correlational type to determine the relationship between depression, anxiety, stress levels and compliance with immunosuppressive therapy in kidney transplant patients. Research data were collected between November 20 and December 10, 2021. At the end of the study, 95 patients were reached. Data analysis was performed by using SPSS 25 and all legal and ethical permissions were obtained. At the end of the study, the depression, anxiety, stress, DASS-21, and SAITTP total scores of the patients were determined as; 5.15±3.61, 5.16±3.78, 9.62±4.93, 19.94±10.37, and 11.42±3.29, respectively. It was determined that the mean depression scores of female patients were higher than that of male patients. It was concluded that self-employed patients had a higher depression score average than patients working as civil servants. It was determined that the mean SAITTP rank of patients with extended family structure was higher than patients with nuclear family structure. In this study, no statistically significant relationship could be found between the SAITTP scores of the patients and their depression, anxiety, and stress scores. No correlation was found between depression, anxiety, stress levels and compliance with immunosuppressive therapy in kidney transplant patients. It may be recommended to conduct similar studies with larger sample groups.
