The study assessed medication adherence and influencing factors via a general information questionnaire, an adherence assessment scale, a medication belief scale, and an overall happiness scale.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n The average medication adherence score was 4.98\u2009\u00b1\u20092.32 points, with 60.08% (76\/115) showing poor adherence. Five of these patients experienced graft failure, resulting in a 6.5% failure rate. No cases of graft failure occurred in those with excellent compliance. Univariate analysis revealed no significant differences in adherence based on sex, age, income, or education (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009>\u20090.05). However, statistically significant differences in medication adherence were observed based on rejection reactions and infections (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090.01). Pearson's correlation analysis revealed that higher perceived medication necessity and overall happiness scores were correlated with better adherence (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090.05). Linear regression revealed that post\u2010transplant rejection, infections, perceived medication necessity, and overall happiness significantly impacted adherence (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090.05).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n The high prevalence of poor medication adherence among adolescent kidney transplant recipients highlights the importance for healthcare professionals to focus on monitoring significant post\u2010transplant complications, improving recipients' understanding of the necessity of their medications, and evaluating their overall psychological well\u2010being. Introducing an effective early warning system during home follow\u2010up periods can enable timely interventions to improve medication adherence.<\/jats:p>\n
