Abstract:
The aim of this study was to determine the level of engagement with medication among kidney transplant recipients in South Africa. A descriptive cross-sectional study design with random sampling was used. Data were collected through structured face-to-face interviews. Total engagement with medication scores among kidney transplant recipients ranged from 60% to 100%, with a mean score of 80%. Although over half of the participants (55%) scored above the mean, only 19% had high levels of engagement with medication. Engagement with medication was significantly associated with race (Chi-square value = 66.225, df=42, P=0.010) and years post-kidney transplantation (Chi-square value = 415.423, df=364, P=0.032).
