Abstract

The purpose of this quasi-experimental research was to study the effects of a self-efficacy program, using the LINE application, on medication adherence among post kidney transplant patients. The sample consisted of fifty patients with post kidney transplant more than six months visiting the out-patient clinic at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital. The participants were divided equally 25 persons for each group into experimental and control groups. The control group received the usual care program while the experimental group received an intervention regarding a self-efficacy program based on the Bandura Model using the LINE application to promote medication adherence. The program was conducted for eight weeks. The questionnaires included demographic information, the Medication Adherence Report Scale: MARS, and a Thai version of the Self-efficacy for Appropriate Medication Use Scale (SEAMS). Data were analyzed using percent, mean, standard deviation, and independent t-test.

The results revealed that the average medication adherence score, after participating in the self-efficacy program using the LINE application, was significantly higher than the average score before participating in the program at the .05 statistical level of significance. Additionally, the mean medication adherence score of the experimental group, after participating in the perceived self-efficacy program using the LINE application, was significantly higher than that of the control group at the 0.05 level of significance.

This study suggests that a self-efficacy program using the LINE application can improve the medication adherence of patients after undergoing a kidney transplantation.
