METHODS: The current study utilized archival data of adolescent renal transplant patients who completed surveys about their family environment, social support, and HRQOL during routine transplant clinic visits.
RESULTS: Family cohesion, as well as social support from parents, classmates, and people in school, were positively correlated with HRQOL. Social support from people in school uniquely predicted variance in HRQOL, beyond the contribution of overall family environment after controlling for demographic factors. Relative to comparable adolescent samples, transplant recipients reported more optimal overall family environment, greater social support from teachers, and lower social support from close friends.
CONCLUSIONS: Psychosocial interventions for adolescent kidney transplant recipients may be enhanced by collaborating with school professionals and further bolstering strengths in the family environment. Kidney transplant recipients may benefit from long-term intervention, as decreased HRQOL appears to persist years post-transplant.
方法:本研究利用了完成家庭环境调查的青少年肾移植患者的档案数据,社会支持,和HRQOL在常规移植诊所就诊期间。
结果:家庭凝聚力,以及父母的社会支持,同学们,和学校里的人,与HRQOL呈正相关。来自在校人员的社会支持唯一预测了HRQOL的方差,在控制人口因素后,超出了整体家庭环境的贡献。相对于可比的青少年样本,移植接受者报告了更优化的整体家庭环境,更多来自教师的社会支持,和较低的社会支持从亲密的朋友。
结论:通过与学校专业人员合作并进一步增强家庭环境中的优势,可以加强对青少年肾移植受者的心理社会干预。肾移植受者可能受益于长期干预,由于减少的HRQOL似乎在移植后持续数年。
