| Summary: | ABSTRACT Objectives: to evaluate the impact of educational intervention on understanding health recommendations after liver transplantation. Methods: randomized and prospective clinical trial, with 68 liver transplant recipients in two institutions. The level of understanding was assessed using a statement agreement scale and the understanding score was classified. Chi-square test was used to compare groups. Results: the level of understanding was reasonable in 77.9% of patients, 73.5% in the Control Group and 82.3% in the Intervention Group (p=0.399). For topics covered after educational action, there were more than 80% correct answers regarding nutrition, frequent hydration, usage and function of immunosuppressants. However, there were less than 10% correct answers regarding hand hygiene, contact with animals and crowds of people. The use of the patient's audio, visual and tactile resources led to improved understanding of skin care (p=0.014). Conclusions: the level of understanding acquired regarding health recommendations was only reasonable. |
