Beyond medication: Understanding child and caregiver perspectives on multifaceted adherence in pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
This study contributes a nuanced understanding of adherence in pediatric HCT, emphasizing the need for tailored interventions that transcend traditional medical frameworks and enable clear communication between families and the medical team. Findings underscore the importance of providers adopting a comprehensive and patient-centered approach. Healthcare providers should consider the psychosocial aspects of HCT, implement tailored family-centered strategies to optimize adherence, and prioritize comprehensive communication to improve outcomes.
