Psychosocial impact of patients waiting for liver transplant
Abstract
The psychosocial impact (PI) of familial caregivers (FC) on liver pre-transplant patients is assessed by a transversal and quantitative study undertaken at the HC of the UFMG, Brazil. Three tools were employed, namely, demographic and clinical characteristics and Zarit Inventory for PI. Data were analyzed by descriptive and comparative statistics with Shapiro-Wilk, χ2 and Kruskal-Wallis tests. Further, 73% of the 119 participants were males, aged 50 ± 12; 70% were married; 60% had basic schooling and 13% were employed. Highest percentage of FCs was made up of patients´ children, with α at 0.81. Relationship between males (0.018), schooling (0.014), encephalopathy (0.039), number of drugs (0.029) and happiness (0.028) with PI was reported. Highest schooling rate meant more happiness and, with less concomitant diseases, the lower was PI in FCs. Highest PI rate in FCs occurrred in male patients, with low schooling, with encephalopathy, when a concomitant disease and greater number of drugs occurred.References
