Effects ofWeChat-based peer supports upon medication adherence in liver transplant recipients
Objective
To explore the effects of WeChat-based peer supports upon medication adherence and quality-of-life in liver transplant recipients.
Methods
A total of 63 patients with liver transplantation were conveniently divided into intervention group (n=32) and control group (n=31) depending upon their different follow-up periods. In control group, routine outpatient health guidance was offered while intervention group received 6-week WeChat-based peer supports. Medication compliance and quality-of-life of two groups were evaluated at Month 3/6/12 post-intervention.
Results
At Month 3 post-intervention, as compared with control group, only non-punctual medication improved significantly in intervention group (P 0.05). However, inter-group quality-of-life was not statistically significant at Month 3/6/12 post-intervention.
Conclusions
WeChat-based peer supports may partially improve the immediate compliance of patients with liver transplantation. However, long-term outcomes and effects on quality-of-life are worth further researches.
