“…Considering the transition as a medical and nursing phenomenon, nurses should analyse the present and predictable effects of the transition to transplantation. Transplant recipients have many tasks to perform: taking medication (according to medical prescription), changes in lifestyle, including diet, physical exercise, monitoring of signs and symptoms of organ rejection, monitoring of complications (infections), monitoring of fluid intake and elimination, monitoring of blood pressure and blood glucose, performance of complementary diagnostic tests, visits to Therapeutic Regimen Adherence and Risk of Renal Graft Loss: Nurse Interventions DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.110879 consultations, smoking cessation, management of stress and emotions, and performance of other self-care activities essential to a good health status [6][7][8].…”

“…Adhikari and colleagues consider that lifestyle modifications have a high weighting in the success of kidney transplantation, however, the levels of adherence achieved by participants for all lifestyle dimensions assessed were low (64.1%), although with strong expression in some dimensions, particularly with regard to self-monitoring (89.54%), medical appointments (88.23%), infection prevention (93.46%), and dietary compliance (83.66%) [8].…”

Kidney transplantation is considered the best therapeutic option and survival is dependent on adherence to the drug regimen. Adherence to the therapeutic regime thus becomes the key to success. However, the literature shows that not all patients are adherent, and readmission due to graft dysfunction is a reality. Although a direct relationship between adherence to the therapeutic regimen and graft dysfunction cannot be attributed, the issue of adherence is far from not deserving the attention of health professionals. This text aims to identify the importance of nursing interventions in promoting adherence to the therapeutic regimen. In an exploratory approach to the process of adherence, and reflecting on concordance and its relevance to adherence, given the heterogeneity of both definitions, we aimed to study the nurses’ role and the type of interventions to promote adherence to the therapeutic regimen in transplanted renal patients. We conclude that education and counselling are the predominant interventions and that concordance is part of this practice, where the expected outcome is kidney graft survival as a consequence of adherence to the therapeutic regimen.
