Abstract

Background

What is known about how the level of social support, which is among the factors affecting medication adherence, affects medication adherence is limited.

Objectives

This study investigated the relationship between perceived social support and immunosuppressive medication adherence among kidney recipients.

Design

This study was conducted using a descriptive correlational research method.

Participants

The study conducted research with 168 kidney transplant recipients who agreed to participate between April and June 2021. Participants completed the Immunosuppressive Medication Adherence Scale (IMAS) and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS).

Measurements and Results

Participants had a mean IMAS and MSPSS score of 50.24 ± 3.71 and 57.21 ± 13.96, respectively. Participants' MSPSS total (r = 0.209, p = 0.006) and ‘family’ (r = 0.248, p = 0.001) and ‘friends’ (r = 0.226, p = 0.003) subscale scores were weakly and positively correlated with their IMAS total score.

Conclusion

Understanding the effect of perceived social support on immunosuppressive medication adherence is important for designing future interventions to increase immunosuppressive medication adherence.

确定肾移植后感知社会支持与免疫抑制药物依从性之间的关系：一项描述性相关研究

社会支持水平作为影响药物依从性的因素之一，其对药物依从性的影响机制尚不明确。目的探讨肾受体感知社会支持与免疫抑制药物依从性的关系。设计本研究采用描述性相关研究方法。该研究对168名同意在2021年4月至6月期间参加的肾移植受者进行了研究。参与者完成免疫抑制药物依从性量表（IMAS）和多维感知社会支持量表（MSPSS）。参与者的平均IMAS和MSPSS评分分别为50.24±3.71和57.21±13.96。被试的MSPSS总分（r = 0.209, p = 0.006）、“家人”（r = 0.248, p = 0.001）和“朋友”（r = 0.226, p = 0.003）分量表得分与其IMAS总分呈弱正相关。结论了解感知社会支持对免疫抑制药物依从性的影响，对设计未来干预措施提高免疫抑制药物依从性具有重要意义。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice aims to promote the evaluation and development of clinical practice across medicine, nursing and the allied health professions. All aspects of health services research and public health policy analysis and debate are of interest to the Journal whether studied from a population-based or individual patient-centred perspective. Of particular interest to the Journal are submissions on all aspects of clinical effectiveness and efficiency including evidence-based medicine, clinical practice guidelines, clinical decision making, clinical services organisation, implementation and delivery, health economic evaluation, health process and outcome measurement and new or improved methods (conceptual and statistical) for systematic inquiry into clinical practice. Papers may take a classical quantitative or qualitative approach to investigation (or may utilise both techniques) or may take the form of learned essays, structured/systematic reviews and critiques.
