In our study, we aimed to investigate the effect of immunosuppressive therapy after liver transplantation on activities of daily living and fear of death during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This study was conducted as a cross-sectional study with the participation of 213 liver transplant patients hospitalized in the liver transplant center of a university hospital. The data analysis was performed with IBM SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) Statistics 25.
Katz's Activities of Daily Living (ADL) were semi-independent and the total score was 11.07 ± 1.59, and the Death Attitude Profile-Revised (DAP-R) total score was 152.23 ± 5.34. It was determined that the DAP-R score was around 150 points in the minimum and maximum score ranges of Katz ADL after liver transplantation.
High fear of death threatens resilience and can make patients feel lonely, helpless, sad, abandoned and stressed. Clinicians should spend more time with their patients.
在我们的研究中,我们旨在调查肝移植后免疫抑制治疗对 COVID-19 大流行期间日常生活活动和对死亡的恐惧的影响。
这是一项横断面研究,共有 213 名在大学医院肝移植中心住院的肝移植患者参与。数据分析使用 IBM SPSS(社会科学统计软件包)统计 25 版进行。
Katz 的日常生活活动(ADL)为半独立,总分为 11.07±1.59,死亡态度量表修订版(DAP-R)总分为 152.23±5.34。肝移植后 Katz ADL 的最小和最大得分范围内,DAP-R 得分约为 150 分。
对死亡的高度恐惧威胁着适应力,并使患者感到孤独、无助、悲伤、被抛弃和压力。临床医生应花更多时间陪伴患者。
