Adesão ao tratamento pós transplante de fígado nos adolescentes: uma revisão integrativa

Abstract

Liver transplantation is the only effective therapeutic option in the treatment of patients with advanced liver disease. Scientific advances have optimized immunosuppressive treatment, but treatment compliance by patients is not always achieved. This research aims to analyze the reasons for non-adherence to treatment by adolescents after liver transplant and what strategies used to promote adherence to treatment in adolescents. To achieve the objectives proposed in the research question this is a quantitative study, as theoretical, used the integrative review as methodological framework and the evidence-based practice advocated by Stetler. At the end we conclude that there is need for future studies of literature free lined with goals to improve the prediction of risk of noncompliance and theses interventions to reduce risks.
