Liver transplant recipients must adapt to a new life after transplant. We report the effects of a support group on physical and psychosocial adaptation of liver transplant recipients.
The study used a quasi-experimental design, comparing an intervention group and a control group. Data were collected between January 2011 and May 2012 with 73 liver transplant recipients. A patient identification form, Modified Transplant Symptom Occurrence and Symptom Distress Scale - 58, and SF-36 were used for data collection. The intervention group attended support group meetings, while the control group received a routine follow-up. Data were analyzed with t test and The Repeated Measures ANOVA with 1 between-group factor.
The results indicated that the support group intervention increases physical, psychological, and social adaptation of liver transplant recipients. Specifically, this effect of the support group was accrued after support group intervention and decreased 3 months after intervention.
A support group intervention can have a positive effect on liver transplant recipients' physical, psychological, and social adaptations.
肝移植受者在移植后必须适应新的生活。我们报告了一个支持小组对肝移植受者身体和心理社会适应的影响。
本研究采用准实验设计，比较干预组和对照组。在2011年1月至2012年5月期间收集了73名肝移植受者的数据。使用患者识别表、改良移植症状发生与症状困扰量表-58以及SF-36进行数据收集。干预组参加支持小组会议，而对照组接受常规随访。采用t检验和具有1个组间因素的重复测量方差分析对数据进行分析。
结果表明，支持小组干预可提高肝移植受者的身体、心理和社会适应能力。具体而言，支持小组的这种效果在支持小组干预后显现，并在干预后3个月下降。
支持小组干预对肝移植受者的身体、心理和社会适应具有积极影响。
