Transplant recipients take medications to preserve graft function, but dependence on medications jeopardizes their sense of normality. From 119 studies ( n = 2901), we identified six themes: threats to identity and ambitions (impaired self-image, restricting goals and roles, loss of financial independence) navigating through uncertainty and distrust (lacking tangible/perceptible benefits, unprepared for side effects, isolation in decision-making) alleviating treatment burdens (establishing and mastering routines, counteracting side effects, preparing for the unexpected) gaining and seeking confidence (clarity with knowledge, reassurance through collective experiences, focusing on the future outlook) recalibrating to a new normal posttransplant (adjusting to ongoing dependence on medications, in both states of illness and health, unfulfilled expectations) and preserving graft survival (maintaining the ability to participate in life, avoiding rejection, enacting a social responsibility of giving back). Electronic databases were searched to July 2020, and thematic synthesis was used to analyze the data. This study aimed to describe the perspectives and experiences of medicine-taking in adult solid organ transplant recipients. Medicine-taking among transplant recipients is a complex and ubiquitous task with significant impacts on outcomes. ![]()
