Research Abstract

The nurses have the role of helping the recipients adjust to their transplant successfully and go on to lead active lives. The purpose of this study is to evaluate our nursing intervention model aimed at a better quality of life of the kidney transplant recipient.
The proposed nursing intervention model, which is based on our several studies of kidney transplant recipients, is focused on the following aspects : (1) physical state (2) self-concept (3) support (4) uncertainty (5) coping. (6) background (7) continuous quality of life assessment. This model shows that a better quality of life results from improved self-concept, effective support, and improved coping ability.
The subjects for this study were three kidney transplant recipients, two studied during their hospitalization and one during follow-up period at the O University Hospital. Verbal consent was obtained prior to the start of this study. The data were obtained from the semi-structured interview, observation, and medical records. The subjects' responses and the content of care were analyzed, using the nursing intervention model.
Nursing intervention for each subject was done to self-concept, support, uncertainty, physical state, and coping as the subjects background were considered, which produced positive self-concept, effective support, and cognitive coping. As a result of the nursing intervention, each of them went on to lead an active life after transplantation.
It was determined that the application of this intervention model led the recipients to a better quality of life with the care appropriate for each of them.
