The previous article explored the role of the nurse pre-renal transplantation, which addressed the physical, psychological and educational support that the patient and family members require prior to this life-changing surgery. The following article explores the continual role of the nurse in caring for and educating the patient post-renal transplantation. Renal transplantation is considered the optimal treatment of choice for patients with end-stage renal failure (ESRF) and who are receiving dialysis. The nurse plays a pivotal role in assisting the patient in facing the many challenges that are associated post-renal transplantation, including the complications and the long-term physical and psychosocial implications.
上一篇文章探讨了护士在肾移植术前的作用，其中涉及患者及其家庭成员在这场改变人生的手术前所需的身体、心理和教育支持。接下来的文章将探讨护士在肾移植术后护理和教育患者方面的持续作用。肾移植被认为是终末期肾衰竭（ESRF）且正在接受透析的患者的最佳治疗选择。护士在协助患者应对肾移植术后相关的诸多挑战方面发挥着关键作用，这些挑战包括并发症以及长期的身体和心理社会影响。
