The purpose of this study was to evaluate, for kidney transplantation patients, the essential determinants for better disease acceptance, and whether a clinical pharmacist may influence its degree. Methods: The study involved 201 renal graft patients aged 18-81 years. The diagnostic survey method with the questionnaire of the Acceptance Illness Scale (AIS) and authors' query was used to obtain sociodemographic and co-morbidities data, the number of medications taken, the therapy cost, a patient needs for more attention from medical staff, and their willingness to cooperate with a clinical pharmacist. Results: The largest group (55.2%) of patients demonstrated a high level of acceptance of their health. However, in every disease acceptance score range (low, medium, high), the score was statistically lower in patients over 50 years of age (c2=7.27, p=0.026), occupationally inactive (c2 =13.8, p |
