Background: Illness perceptions refer to cognitive appraisals that help patients understand and make sense of their condition. Although their importance in health behaviour and outcomes has been evidenced, less is known about cultural influences on mental representations of kidney failure amongst patients receiving haemodialysis in different settings.
Objective: To explore the illness perceptions of Turkish patients receiving haemodialysis in North Cyprus (Turkish Cypriots).
Introduction: Nonadherence is common in both hemodialysis (HD) and kidney transplant recipients and is a major risk factor for poor clinical outcomes. This retrospective study explored whether nonadherent HD patients become nonadherent transplant recipients.
Methods: Data were collected for 88 patients from the electronic patient system at a subregional renal unit about adherence to HD regimens in the 6 months before transplantation, and for 1 year posttransplantation following return transfer to the posttransplantation clinic from the transplanting center.
Introduction: Adherence to immunosuppressant medication is essential for renal transplant recipients. This review aims to summarise what is known about non-adherence, with a view to providing comprehensive evidence to inform strategies aimed at advancing adherent behaviour.
Methods And Analysis: A systematic review of quantitative studies that report adherence to immunosuppressants in adult (over 18 years) renal transplant recipients.
Background: Labour market disengagement among youths has lasting negative economic and social consequences, yet is poorly understood. We compared four types of work-related self-perceptions, as well as vulnerability to mental health and substance abuse problems, among youths not in education, employment or training (NEET) and among their peers.
Methods: Participants were from the Environmental Risk (E-Risk) longitudinal study, a nationally representative UK cohort of 2,232 twins born in 1994-1995.
