This study investigated perceived life satisfaction and quality of life reported by heart transplant recipients. The impact of life change following transplantation and problems associated with side-effects of the immunosuppressive therapy were also examined. Questionnaires were mailed to one hundred heart transplant recipients. All had survived at least six months after the operation. Seventy-five completed the questionnaire. Eighty-nine percent of those reported good to excellent quality of life. Life satisfaction was reported as good to very satisfactory by 82%. The considerable change in life style following transplantation was mostly perceived as positive. All recipients experienced some side-effects from the immunosuppressive therapy. However, these physical symptoms had little impact upon the overall positive evaluation of life quality and life satisfaction.
本研究调查了心脏移植受者报告的感知生活满意度和生活质量。还研究了移植后生活变化的影响以及免疫抑制治疗副作用相关的问题。向100名心脏移植受者邮寄了问卷。所有人术后至少存活了6个月。75人完成了问卷。其中89%的人报告生活质量良好至优秀。82%的人报告生活满意度良好至非常满意。移植后生活方式的显著变化大多被视为积极的。所有受者都经历了免疫抑制治疗的一些副作用。然而，这些身体症状对生活质量和生活满意度的总体积极评价影响很小。
