What is known about how the level of social support, which is among the factors affecting medication adherence, affects medication adherence is limited.
This study investigated the relationship between perceived social support and immunosuppressive medication adherence among kidney recipients.
This study was conducted using a descriptive correlational research method.
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).
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.
Understanding the effect of perceived social support on immunosuppressive medication adherence is important for designing future interventions to increase immunosuppressive medication adherence.
在影响药物依从性的因素中，社会支持水平如何影响药物依从性，目前所知有限。
本研究调查了肾移植受者感知到的社会支持与免疫抑制药物依从性之间的关系。
本研究采用描述性相关性研究方法。
该研究对2021年4月至6月间同意参与的168名肾移植受者进行了研究。参与者完成了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IMAS和MSPSS平均得分分别为50.24±3.71和57.21±13.96。参与者的MSPSS总分（r = 0.209，p = 0.006）以及“家庭”（r = 0.248，p = 0.001）和“朋友”（r = 0.226，p = 0.003）子量表得分与他们的IMAS总分呈弱正相关。
了解感知到的社会支持对免疫抑制药物依从性的影响，对于设计未来提高免疫抑制药物依从性的干预措施很重要。
