Objective: to evaluate the interventions of the multidisciplinary team that provide improvements
in adherence to treatment after liver transplantation.
Method: integrative review of the literature. The inclusion criteria were articles published between
2012 and 2017, in the Portuguese, English and Spanish languages, performed with the
adult population that had undergone liver transplantation.
Results: the initial search resulted in 84 publications, with 10 studies being selected. The data
were tabulated according to the relevance of the content, objectives, type of intervention,
number of patients and level of evidence. Four analytical categories were found: educational
interventions; adoption of an individual therapeutic plan; change in the immunosuppressive
regimen; emotional and psychological support and strengthening of the support network.
Conclusion: the multidisciplinary team should provide information about the transplantation
process, perform appropriate management of immunosuppression, regularly assess the patients
for signs of depression and anxiety, investigate their beliefs and values, and institute an
individualized care plan.
