Adolescents in end-stage renal failure: A pilot study of family factors in compliance and treatment considerations.

“…This factor should be researched further. Other researchers investigating compliance and hostility (Altschuler, Black, Trompeter, Fitzpatrick, & Peto, 1991;Flanagan & Wagner, 1991;Gould et al, 1985;LeFave, 1980;Pugh, 1983) have found a range of effect sizes. However, these studies measured total hostility rather than distinguishing intrapunitive from extrapunitive hostility.…”

This study examines the psychological factors associated with caretakers' premature termination of counseling for their children. Data were collected on the 85 primary caretakers of 85 children in Texas who applied for counseling at community mental health centers or who received private practitioner care. The general hypothesis of the study was that scores on general hostility, intrapunitive hostility, extrapunitive hostility, paranoid ideation, depression, and anxiety would discriminate caretakers who prematurely terminated their children's counseling from both those caretakers whose children, in the judgment of the counselors, met therapeutic goals and those caretakers whose children did not meet therapeutic goals but who attended at least 10 counseling sessions. The effect size results suggest that counselors should primarily consider caretaker intrapunitive hostility when anticipating potential premature termination of counseling for children.

This study examined perceived medication regimen characteristics as factors in levels of medication adherence among 26 African American and 42 European American pediatric renal transplant patients. Among both groups, perceived characteristics of their medication regimen, including pill size, pill taste and medication complexity, were found to have significantly low to moderate associations with medication adherence. These associations were stronger and more consistent across medication adherence measures among the African American patients. This supports the need to separately examine the factors contributing to medication adherence among ethnically different pediatric patients. Suggestions for promoting medication adherence among pediatric patients with renal transplants and implications for future research are discussed.
