Social and welfare needs in transplant patient: a new way to handle
Background
With the increasing number of patients in need of solid organ transplantation and the ethnographic, anthropological, and social changes in the patient population, it has become necessary to analyze the social needs of the patients during a pre-transplant screening. These needs may include the lack of a caregiver, unstable and unsuitable housing, missing identification documents, challenges with health bureaucracy, transportation and insufficient financial resources. Thus, in February 2024, thanks to the collaboration with the Sant'Orsola Foundation, the first welfare desk within a hospital dedicated to the psychosocial needs of transplant patients was inaugurated.
Methods
The retrospective research will concern the analysis of the requests collected during 2024 from the Welfare for Transplant patients (WELT). The current project envisions the establishment of a dedicated service within the hospital to support patients during their transplant journey. The social support desk is integrated into the transplant care pathways of the IRCCS-Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria in Bologna and will involve the S.S. Service of Clinical Hospital Psychology, the operative units of Internal Medicine for the Treatment of Serious Organ Failure, Hepatobiliary Surgery and Transplantation, the S.S.D. Heart Failure and Transplantation, the Lung Transplantation Program and the Complex Structure of Nephrology, Dialysis and Transplantation.
Results
This research is in the start-up phase. The enrollment will include the analysis of approximately 120 patients to define the social needs and the options for solving them.
Conclusions
The anticipated effects of the social support desk within the hospital include: a prompt and effective management of patients' social requirements by skilled professionals; improved accessibility and decreased duration of the transplant process; a more comprehensive psychological assessment; the implementation of services without burdening the patients; a beneficial influence on the physical and psychological well-being of patients before and after transplantation.
