Summary

The goal of this complex interventions study is to improve health literacy (HL), medication adherence and patient education outcomes in immigrant kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). Furthermore, we aim to strengthen HL sensitivity and cultural competence in nurses providing patient education. The main questions we aims to answer are:

1. What are immigrant KTRs HL strengths and needs, medication adherence and outcomes after patient education in three important transitions following kidney transplantation: the first postoperative phase (3-7 days post-transplantation), preparing for transfer to local hospital (6-8 weeks post-transplantation), and adapting to the home context (3-6 months post-transplantation).
2. What experiences, competence and competence needs does the nurses that engage in patient education to immigrant KTRs post-transplant have?
3. Will a tailored intervention increase HL, medication adherence, and outcomes after patient education in immigrant KTXs and organizational HL and cultural competence in nurses?

Qualitative methods will be used to develop and optimize the intervention.

* Patients will be invited to three individual interviews in the three postoperative phases.
* Nurses in three wards (surgery, medical and outpatient ward) are asked to participants in focus group interviews.
* The interviews will be used to define needs and build the intervention. Ideas to the intervention will be discussed in workshops with nurses, the project group and user participants.
* Parts of the intervention will be tested in the clinic followed by 'think aloud interviews' where both the nurse and the patient are asked to speak freely about their experiences using the intervention.
* The intervention will be evaluated by repeating the interviews with patient and focus group interviews with nurses.
* The intervention will be feasibility tested.
