Background: Kidney transplant involves profound psychological, relational, and social changes for both the patients and their family context. Occasionally, the family or social support can be deemed "dysfunctional" as it fails to fully comprehend the patient's needs and requirements. Attachment style, which pertains to the motivation to seek proximity and care in relationships with caregivers, has a significative role in the social support system for transplant, therapeutic adherence, and maintenance of the transplanted organ.
