Abstract

Introduction: The most advanced stage of advanced chronic kidney disease requires renal replacement therapy, with renal transplantation being a prominent option due to its benefits. It is crucial to guarantee compliance with certain aspects of post-transplantation to ensure its success, among which health education plays a fundamental role.


Objective: To understand and synthesise the scientific production of recent years on health education interventions in renal transplant patients.
Methodology: An integrative review was conducted following the recommendations of the PRISMA statement. Articles were extracted from the PubMed and Scopus databases. Articles published between 2013 and 2023 in English and Spanish addressing health education and post-renal transplantation were included.


Results: Sixteen articles were included (9 observational studies, 3 clinical trials, 3 qualitative studies, and 1 systematic review). The main variables that emerged were: characteristics of the population studied, different health education interventions, critical outcomes of the interventions, complications or challenges identified, and patient satisfaction.


Conclusions: Post-transplant education interventions for renal patients are especially effective if they involve aspects such as individualised and integrated care and take into account the patient’s biopsychosocial sphere. They offer notable improvements in the satisfaction of renal transplant recipients, strengthening their autonomy, independence, and confidence in facing their new stage in life.
