“…This is a well‐validated instrument, based on the cognitive theory of psychological stress and coping proposed by Lazarus and Folkman 19 . It has been used in several studies of ESRD patients 20–24 . The 40 items are grouped into 2 styles: problem‐oriented coping (POC), comprising 15 items (scores ranging from 15 to 75), and emotion‐oriented coping (EOC), comprising 25 items (scores ranging from 25 to 125).…”

Quality of life (QOL) is an important outcome among end-stage renal disease patients and can be associated with modifiable behaviors. We analyzed the correlation between coping style and QOL among hemodialysis patients. We studied 166 end-stage renal disease patients undergoing hemodialysis. They were older than 18 years, under hemodialysis for at least 3 months, and had never received a transplant. Quality of life was assessed by SF-36 and coping style was scored by the Jalowiec Coping Scale. Emotion-oriented coping and problem-oriented coping scores were compared according to sex, comorbidity, and socioeconomic status by the Mann-Whitney test. Correlations between QOL and 2 coping styles (emotion-oriented coping and problem-oriented coping) were adjusted for age, time on dialysis, hemoglobin, creatinine, albumin, calcium-phosphorus product, and Kt/V by backward stepwise linear regression. There was no difference between coping scores according to sex, comorbidity, and socioeconomic status. Emotion-oriented coping was independently and negatively associated with 4 QOL dimensions: physical functioning, role-physical, role-emotional, and mental health. Our results indicate that patients with high emotion-oriented coping scores should be seen at risk for poor QOL. Patient education in coping skills may be used to change the risk of poor QOL.

“…Waiting for a new organ puts much stress on patients. Not only are they confronted with deterioration in their physical health but they also have to deal with uncertaintywill the transplant come in timeand unpredictabilitywhen will the transplant take place (Haugh & Salyer, 2007;Martin, Stone, Scott, & Brashers, 2010;Moran, Scott, & Darbyshire, 2011;Toimamueang et al, 2003). Although the prospect of a transplantation offers new hope for the future, transplant candidates often feel that their life is on hold (Moran et al, 2011;Rosenberger, Dew, DiMartini, DeVito Dabbs, & Yusen, 2012).…”

Distinct, but stable, trajectories of anxiety and depression were present in liver transplant candidates. The trajectories with symptom levels above clinical relevant levels for anxiety or depression comprised, respectively, 49% and 34% of the respondents. Therefore, psychological screening and subsequently providing appropriate interventions are warranted early in the transplant process. Statement of contribution What is already known on this subject For transplant candidates, the waiting-list period is a period of uncertainty and unpredictability. Psychological problems, such as anxiety and depression, are common among liver transplant candidates. Several demographic, clinical, and individual characteristics are associated with anxiety and depression, but these results remain inconclusive. What does this study add Distinct trajectories of symptoms of anxiety and depression are present among liver transplant candidates. Given the stability of the trajectories over time, the symptom level at baseline is indicative of the symptom level during the waiting-list period. Experiencing more liver disease symptoms, low mastery, more use of emotional coping, and less use of task-oriented coping are associated with trajectories of high symptom levels.
