Video Education and Behaviour Contract to Optimize Adherence in Renal Transplants

Summary

This study aims to test the effectiveness of an electronic-based video intervention and behavioral contract on improving medication adherence among kidney transplant recipients.

Conditions

• Kidney Transplantation
• Medication Adherence

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Video education + adherence contract

Participants will receive standard education along with the home-based video education plus an adherence contract. Following the baseline assessment, access to videos will be provided electronically so that the patient can watch them at home. The videos will be initially viewed in the following order: Video 1: Introduction, Video 2: Medications, Video 3: Your New Life. Approximately one month after transplant, after the video series has been viewed in its entirety, participants will receive an email link inviting participants to reflect on their goals about transplantation and pledging to taking their medications as directed. The contract will be non-enforceable, but it will provide patients with the opportunity to formally commit to a goal of taking the medications as prescribed. At 3 months, and 12 months, the participant will have the opportunity to reflect and modify adherence goals as desired.
