| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study was to construct a model that enables a consistent interpretation and explanation of the diseases process to adolescent patients who underwent renal transplantation and their parents as well. The present study is based on the author’s doctoral dissertation. Participants in this study were 10 subjects, including 4 adolescent -parent pairs, and 1 adolescent and 1 parent from different families. Interviews were conducted and data were analyzed qualitatively.
Results revealed that the diseases process differed according to the age of which the adolescent patients underwent renal transplantation. Furthermore, this study suggests the necessity to increase the sample size of adolescent-parent pairs; and this increase of the sample size should take into account both the group of adolescent patients who received organs from deceased donors and the group of those whose donors are alive, in order to establish a reliable model.
