Sixteen kidney donors were interviewed by a psychiatrist and given the Rorschach test before and one year after operation. We used our previous study as a basis in predicting the expectable level of psychic traumatization that the donation process would provoke. In 10 of the donors the prediction proved to be correct. A trend towards a better predictability was observed in cases of successful transplantation. An unsuccessful operation is always followed by psychological complications, reducing the possibilities of an accurate prediction and necessitating psychotherapeutic help. The present procedures are clinically simple and require relatively little time.
16名肾脏捐赠者在手术前和手术后一年接受了精神科医生的访谈并进行了罗夏墨迹测验。我们以之前的研究为基础来预测捐赠过程可能引发的心理创伤程度。在10名捐赠者中，预测被证明是正确的。在移植成功的案例中观察到预测准确性提高的趋势。手术不成功总会引发心理并发症，降低了准确预测的可能性，因此需要心理治疗帮助。目前的程序在临床上很简单，所需时间相对较少。
