Liver transplant recipients experience many uncertainties after transplantation. Also, sleep problems are common among them. This study aimed to examine intolerance of uncertainty and sleep quality in liver transplant recipients. A descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 117 liver transplant recipients followed in the outpatient clinic of a liver transplant center. Data were collected using a sociodemographic and clinical features form, the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale-12 and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index between May and September in 2023. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and regression analysis. The recipients had a high mean score of 41.04 ± 13.11 (min-max: 12-60) on the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale-12. Age was predictive of uncertainty. Indeed, young recipients had higher intolerance of uncertainty. The recipients had a low score of 7.33 ± 3.57 (min-max: 1-21) on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. The prevalence of sleep problems was 65%. Experiencing complications after transplantation was predictive of and worsened sleep quality. The sleep quality of the recipients had no relation with intolerance of uncertainty and inhibitory anxiety, but it had a relation with prospective anxiety.
肝移植受者在移植后会经历许多不确定性。此外，睡眠问题在他们当中也很常见。本研究旨在调查肝移植受者对不确定性的不耐受情况和睡眠质量。对一家肝移植中心门诊随访的117名肝移植受者进行了一项描述性横断面研究。于2023年5月至9月期间，使用社会人口学和临床特征表格、不确定性不耐受量表-12以及匹兹堡睡眠质量指数收集数据。采用描述性统计、相关性分析和回归分析对数据进行分析。受者在不确定性不耐受量表-12上的平均得分较高，为41.04±13.11（最小值-最大值：12-60）。年龄是不确定性的预测因素。事实上，年轻受者对不确定性的不耐受程度更高。受者在匹兹堡睡眠质量指数上的得分为7.33±3.57（最小值-最大值：1-21），得分较低。睡眠问题的患病率为65%。移植后出现并发症是睡眠质量的预测因素，且会使睡眠质量恶化。受者的睡眠质量与不确定性不耐受和抑制性焦虑无关，但与预期性焦虑有关。
