Özet

Objective: The monitoring of immunosuppressive medication adherence is an important issue for solid organ transplant patients. In Turkey, there has been no valid and reliable measurement tool specific to transplantation for evaluation of medication adherence. The aim of this methodological study was to develop and psychometrically test Immunosuppressive Medication Adherence Scale.
