Investigation of adherence to immunosuppressive therapy and perceived social support in organ recipients

The importance of social support in the post-transplant period should not be overlooked; in particular, the involvement of family, friends, and other significant individuals should be systematically integrated into patient care. In this context, perceived social support is a practical and feasible strategy for improving adherence to immunosuppressive therapy. Healthcare professionals should routinely assess patients' levels of social support and implement targeted psychosocial interventions for individuals with inadequate support.
