Non-adherence: A deliberate choice
Speaker: Anna Forsberg
Description: This short lecture by Anna Forsberg presents a case of non-adherence to the immunosuppressive medication after liver transplantation and the patient’s rationale behind his behaviour. Professor Forsberg discusses the reasons for being non-adherent, how transplant professionals can intervene and the fact that the patient’s meaning-making might lead to deliberate non-adherent behaviour.
