Summary The only treatment method for those with incurable, irreversible, progressive, acute or chronic liver disease is liver transplantation. Compliance with the disease and immunosuppressive treatment has an important place in the success of transplants. This study was planned to examine the effect of video-supported education given to liver transplant patients in line with the Health Belief Model on adaptation to chronic disease and medication use. The research will be conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study. The population of the research will consist of adult patients who received liver transplantation at İnönü University Turgut Özal Medical Center. The sample will consist of 90 patients determined by power analysis. Patients will be divided into three groups: control (n=30), 1st experiment (n=30) and 2nd experiment (n=30). Data will be collected between August 2023 and December 2023 using the Patient Information Form, Chronic Disease Adaptation Scale, Immunosuppressive Drug Use Compliance Scale and Rational Drug Use Scale. Video-supported training will be provided to patients in the experimental group to increase compliance with the disease and immunosuppressive treatment and to ensure rational drug use. Patients in the 1st experimental group will receive video-supported training in line with the Health Belief Model for one month, and patients in the 2nd experimental group will receive video-supported standard training for one month. This video training will be given to the experimental group patients outside the routine nursing care of the clinic. The video-supported training is planned to last 20-30 minutes. Nursing care in the routine practice of the clinic will be applied to the control group. Evaluation of data; It will be done with number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, chi-square, paired t test, t test analysis in independent groups, ANOVA and ANCOVA. As a result, it is predicted that video-supported education will increase compliance with chronic disease and medication use and reduce post-transplant symptoms and discomfort caused by these symptoms.
