MOTA, Liliana; BASTOS, Fernanda Santos  y  BRITO, Maria Alice Correia. The liver transplant patient: characterization of the therapeutic regimen management style. Rev. Enf. Ref. [online]. 2017, vol.serIV, n.13, pp.19-30. ISSN 0874-0283.  https://doi.org/10.12707/RIV17006.

Background: The characterization of the therapeutic regimen management style may help predict how individuals will manage their therapeutic regimens after liver transplantation. Objectives: To describe liver transplant recipients' therapeutic regimen management style and identify its impact on success indicators. Methodology: Quantitative, descriptive, and exploratory study using the instrument for therapeutic regimen management style characterization. Results: A style close to the responsible style (51.35) and the undefined style (47.4%) are the predominant therapeutic regimen management styles, with characteristics of the 4 theoretical styles. No statistically significant correlation was found between qualitative indicators of success, intensity of alteration in analytical values and therapeutic regimen management styles. Conclusion: The predominant style in this sample is the responsible style. Therapeutic regimen management styles have a weak impact on the alteration of intensity in analytical values and qualitative indicators. The identification of each style allows anticipating difficulties and implementing nursing interventions targeted at individual characteristics.
