Outline of Final Research Achievements	The present study aimed to develop nursing practice guidelines that help increase the resilience of children who have undergone live-donor liver transplantation in adolescence, as well as to improve the researcher's research performance and their Master's theses describing it. The study focused on adolescence. The results suggest that, regarding children who have undergone live-donor liver transplantation in adolescence, development issues and self-management are becoming increasingly complicated due to psychosocial factors caused by a history of having diseases and/or receiving the transplantation, and these children make efforts to re-establish their lives despite the disruption caused by such a history.
