This study aimed to explore young adult donors' experiences of living donor liver transplantation.
A phenomenological research method was used. The participants were two women and six men. Data were collected through individual in-depth interviews from November 25th, 2019 to June 10th, 2020 and analyzed using Colaizzi's phenomenological method.
Five theme clusters extracted from the young adult donors' experiences were painful decision of a liver donation, the agony of both mind and body that overpowers youth, the bitter and bare face of reality that a young donor encounters, feeling the power of love that fills up the space of the organ removed, and liver donation becoming priming water for maturity.
The results of this study provide a deeper understanding of the lives of young adult donors who have experienced unexpected difficulties as well as self growth from the donation. It is expected that the results can be of use for developing and applying customized nursing interventions for management before and after liver donation among young adult donors.
本研究旨在探讨青年活体肝移植供体的经历。
采用现象学研究方法。参与者包括两名女性和六名男性。于2019年11月25日至2020年6月10日通过个体深度访谈收集数据，并采用柯莱齐现象学方法进行分析。
从青年供体的经历中提取出五个主题簇，分别是肝脏捐赠的痛苦抉择、超越青春的身心煎熬、青年供体所面临的现实的苦涩与赤裸、感受爱填补被摘除器官空间的力量以及肝脏捐赠成为成熟的引用水。
本研究结果有助于更深入地了解经历了意外困难以及从捐赠中实现自我成长的青年活体肝移植供体的生活。预计这些结果可用于制定和应用针对青年活体肝移植供体肝移植前后管理的定制化护理干预措施。
