The dialysis-transplantation (D-T) program at The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto has a mental health component directed by a psychiatrist and a social worker. As of Jan. 1, 1975, 53 kidney transplants had been carried out on 44 children. Patients and their families are counselled continuously by the psychiatrist and the social worker before, during and after transplantation. Members of the multidisciplinary team meet regularly to plan treatment for the children. Mental health issues are an integral part of team discussions and help determine D-T program policy. Psychological preparation, mental health consultation, therapeutic intervention and continuous counselling prevent many of the mental health problems that plague a D-T program.
多伦多病童医院的透析 - 移植(D - T)项目有一个由精神科医生和社会工作者指导的心理健康组成部分。截至1975年1月1日,已对44名儿童进行了53例肾脏移植手术。在移植前、移植期间和移植后,精神科医生和社会工作者会持续为患者及其家属提供咨询。多学科团队成员定期会面,为儿童制定治疗计划。心理健康问题是团队讨论的一个组成部分,并有助于确定D - T项目政策。心理准备、心理健康咨询、治疗干预和持续咨询可预防许多困扰D - T项目的心理健康问题。
