Abstract

Patients undergoing transplantation, experience significant changes in their quality of life. The aim of this study was to determine the quality of life and related factors in kidney transplant recipients. This descriptive-analytic cross-sectional study was performed on 136 kidney transplant recipients referring to nephrology clinic of Imam Khomeini Hospital in Ardabil through convenience sampling method in 2016. Data was collected by using a demographic form, Short Form Health Survey (SF36), physical stress index, Kidney Transplantation Self-Management Scale, Kidney Transplantation Self-Care Self-Efficacy Scale and Beck's Depression Inventory. Data were analyzed by SPSS software version 16 using descriptive and analytical methods. The mean score of physical health (55.01 ±19.48) was slightly higher than the mental health (42.86 ± 20.91). Self-efficacy (β = 0.29), depression symptoms (β = -0.34), age (β = -0.36) and gender (β = 0.15) were as predictors of the physical health component of quality of life. Self-efficacy (β = 0.58), depression symptoms (β = -0.25), age (β = -0.16) and education level (β = -0.28) were determined as predictors of the mental health component of quality of life. It is imperative that the kidney transplant care team improve patients' quality of life by teaching self-care behaviors to improve patients' self-efficacy and early screening for depression symptoms. On the other hand, care services should be provided with greater support from women and the elderly patients in order to improve their physical and mental health.
