An exploratory-descriptive design was used to examine quality of life (QoL) changes in this follow-up study of renal transplant recipients 16-26 months after transplantation. Of 57 patients interviewed for the original study conducted at transplantation, 39 were interviewed. Interviews included demographic information, open-ended QoL questions, and identification of positive and negative QoL changes. T-test examined differences between pretransplant QoL expectations and post-transplant QoL changes. McNemar's Test determined the categories where changes were more correctly anticipated. Results indicate that although staff more accurately anticipate the degree to which patients' QoL changes, patients more accurately anticipate the types of changes that occur.
在这项针对肾移植受者移植后16至26个月的随访研究中，采用探索性描述性设计来检查生活质量（QoL）的变化。在移植时进行的原始研究中接受访谈的57名患者中，有39名接受了访谈。访谈内容包括人口统计学信息、开放式生活质量问题，以及确定生活质量的积极和消极变化。t检验用于检查移植前生活质量预期与移植后生活质量变化之间的差异。McNemar检验确定了更能正确预测变化的类别。结果表明，虽然工作人员能更准确地预测患者生活质量变化的程度，但患者能更准确地预测所发生变化的类型。
