An exploratory study of psychoeducational support for pediatric renal transplant recipients and their families

本研究探讨儿童肾移植受者及其家属移植后的心理状态和经历，以确定影响预后的因素，并提供适当的帮助。平均而言，受访者的抑郁和焦虑得分没有升高，但在适应状态上存在个体差异。高中生和老年患者在身体功能和健康方面的生活质量较低。青春期晚期男性生活质量较低，焦虑程度较高。无论是否捐献，家庭成员的生活质量都很高。大多数受访者对移植感到满意，并且经历了身体恢复，减少了日常生活的限制和负担。虽然受访者经历了不同的困难，但他们也使用了不同的应对策略。由于移植后的困难既与个人年龄有关，也与年龄组有关，因此需要更多关于发育适宜支持的信息。

This study examines post-transplantation psychological status and experiences among pediatric renal transplant recipients and their families, to determine factors influencing a favorable prognosis and to provide appropriate aid.On average, depression and anxiety scores were not elevated in respondents, but there were individual differences in adaptive states. Senior high school students and older patients had lower QOL in physical function and health. Late adolescent males had especially low QOL and high anxiety. Family members had high QOL, regardless of whether they were donors.Most respondents were satisfied with the transplant and experienced both physical recovery and reduced restrictions and burdens of daily life. Though respondents experienced diverse difficulties, they also used various coping strategies. Because post-transplant difficulty was both specific to an individual's age and common to age groups, more information on developmentally appropriate support is needed.
