Pediatric Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Medication Adherence Facilitators and Strategies: A Qualitative Study.

Overall, findings suggest that caregivers of children who received an HCT are highly resourceful and independently develop many strategies to assist them with medication management after their child's HCT. These facilitators and strategies varied between caregivers and over time. Despite prevalent facilitators and strategies, caregiver burden associated with medication adherence remains high. Caregivers may benefit from the multidisciplinary treatment team providing individualized and multicomponent (educational and behavioral) medication adherence supports to ease this burden particularly shortly after hospital discharge.
