Assessing the Quality of Life in Adult Lung Transplant Recipients Quality of Life Post-Lung Transplant
Background
Significant limitations in daily life characterize end-stage lung diseases (ESLD) due to symptoms such as dyspnea, recurrent infections, side effects of immunosuppressive medication, and frequent need for hospitalizations. In addition to physical symptoms, ESLD is associated with emotional and social sources of distress such as depression, anxiety, fear of dying, financial concerns, and regular need for relocation. A transplant can significantly affect the recipients’ life domains, from physical and emotional well-being to social relationships and roles.
Objective
This study aims to assess the quality of life of adult lung transplant recipients in Saudi Arabia.
Method
A cross-sectional quantitative design was employed using the self-administered World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire, a sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire, and a medical chart review. The study was conducted in a tertiary care center in Saudi Arabia. Data were collected from November 2023 to April 2024.
Results
One hundred fifty-seven individuals with a mean age of 45 years had completed the questionnaire, and there was no participant refusal (Response rate = 100%). Males accounted for 61.1%, and most participants were married (63.7%). About half (44.6%) had at least one comorbidity outside ESLD. Only 26.7% were working post-transplant. Overall, the data strongly suggests that as individuals adjust and recover post-transplant, they tend to feel increasingly positive with time. Most rated their quality of life and health satisfaction as high. The lowest score was for the physical domain.
Conclusion
The study's findings showed that the quality was good overall across various domains, with moderate scores, with the lowest score on the physical domain. Improving rehabilitation strategies would help transplanted patients live more fulfilling lives.
期刊介绍：
Clinical Transplantation: The Journal of Clinical and Translational Research aims to serve as a channel of rapid communication for all those involved in the care of patients who require, or have had, organ or tissue transplants, including: kidney, intestine, liver, pancreas, islets, heart, heart valves, lung, bone marrow, cornea, skin, bone, and cartilage, viable or stored.
Published monthly, Clinical Transplantation’s scope is focused on the complete spectrum of present transplant therapies, as well as also those that are experimental or may become possible in future. Topics include:
Immunology and immunosuppression;
Patient preparation;
Social, ethical, and psychological issues;
Complications, short- and long-term results;
Artificial organs;
Donation and preservation of organ and tissue;
Translational studies;
Advances in tissue typing;
Updates on transplant pathology;.
Clinical and translational studies are particularly welcome, as well as focused reviews. Full-length papers and short communications are invited. Clinical reviews are encouraged, as well as seminal papers in basic science which might lead to immediate clinical application. Prominence is regularly given to the results of cooperative surveys conducted by the organ and tissue transplant registries.
Clinical Transplantation: The Journal of Clinical and Translational Research is essential reading for clinicians and researchers in the diverse field of transplantation: surgeons; clinical immunologists; cryobiologists; hematologists; gastroenterologists; hepatologists; pulmonologists; nephrologists; cardiologists; and endocrinologists. It will also be of interest to sociologists, psychologists, research workers, and to all health professionals whose combined efforts will improve the prognosis of transplant recipients.
