This review used the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) model of health behavior change to conceptualize the determinants of kidney transplant access behavior for adult patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
Methods:
A narrative review of qualitative studies of patient access to kidney transplantation was undertaken. Only articles in English were accessed. The existing literature was critically analyzed using theoretical constructs of the IMB model and thematic synthesis was performed.
Results:
Results suggest patients having more information (greater transplant knowledge), more personal motivation (higher transplant outcomes expectations), more social motivation (more social and provider support), and more selfefficacy (confidence in navigating the transplant continuum) may be more likely to perform transplant access behaviors.
Conclusion:
Our findings provide a framework for considering patients’ levels of knowledge, motivation, and self-efficacy in future educational and behavioral interventions for ESRD patients.
