Abstract:
Objective To assess compliance in liver transplant recipients,ascertain related factors,and help clinical nunrses take measures to improve compliance. Methods Questionnaires including social demo-graphic variables and questionnaire about compliance after liver transplant,were used to investigate 54 liver transplant recipients whose post transplant time>6 months.Results Liver transplant recipients had good compliance to immunosuppressive medication,scored(3.67±0.51),and health lifestyle,scored(3.30±0.44),but relatively poor compliance to follow-up.scored(3.05±0.89)and self-monitoring,scored(2.00±0.89).The main factors influencing the compliance were average monthly per capita family income(P<0.01)and post trans-plant time(P<0.01).Conclusions The importance of compliance to follow-up and self-monitoring should be emphasized in health education to the recipients and more attention should be paid to those re-cipients with lower income or longer post transplant time.
