Patients' concerns regarding the viability of their transplanted organ are well rooted in reality despite the major advances made in recent years.…”

OBJECTIVES: To develop a questionnaire to assess the responses of transplant recipients to the receipt of an organ, including their self-care behaviour. DESIGN: Following a literature review, open-ended interviews and a focus group, a transplant questionnaire was developed. Two studies (Study 1: N = 231, Study 2: N = 105) were conducted to evaluate its psychometric properties. METHODS: A pool of 51 items was derived from themes identified in published studies and from interviews and a focus group discussion with renal transplant recipients. These were constructed into a questionnaire and were then administered to two renal transplant out-patients populations. Item responses of study sample 1 were subjected to principal components analysis (PCA) using varimax rotation to examine the structure of responses. In order to investigate the stability of the factor structure found in Study 1, item responses of the second sample were subjected to confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using structural equation modelling. RESULTS: PCA indicated six factors that accounted for 64.2% of the variance. With extraneous items omitted, the final questionnaire derived from Study 1 has 24 items clustered around five conceptual coherent factors: worry about transplant (22.1%), guilt regarding donor (11.9%), disclosure (9.58%), medication adherence (8.73%), and responsibility (6.63%). CFA on the final 24-item version of the TxEQ revealed that the resulting model was a good fit for the Study 2 data (RMSEA = 0.08, pclose =.005). CONCLUSIONS: The TxEQ has potential application as a measure in the area of transplantation research. CFA demonstrated that the factor structure of the TxEQ is consistent across different renal transplant out-patients populations. Further research is currently in progress to assess other groups of transplant recipients and to examine its relationship to other measures.

“…Whether transplantees will be rehabilitated and resume their responsibilities and a full range of normal activities depend in part on their own biopsychosocial capabilities. Previous findings (Schlebusch et al, 1989) that a significant number of RR in the present series of studies adjusted psychologically positively a few years post-transplant and even assumed extra duties are supported by other reports that a high percentage of RR return to normal activities (Viederman, 1981). Likewise, patients' scores on factor three (body control) reflect their perception that a successful renal transplantation provides them with a new lease on life, as reported before (Schlebusch et al, 1989), which also affects the management and control of the whole body.…”

Differences in body-image between live-related and cadaver renal transplant recipients were investigated. A body-image questionnaire as part of a comprehensive psychological assessment was individually adrninistered to ten live-related and 30 cadaver renal transplant patients. A factor analysis of the questionnaire items disclosed eight factors in the ratings of body-image. Separate factor scores were then calculated for each participant in the study on each factor. Further statistical analysis of these scores revealed no significant sex-related differences in the ratings, but indicated that live-related renal recipients overall felt less positive than cadaver renal recipients concerning the body's physical attractiveness, and physical contact. The implications of these findings for a psychonephrology service are discussed.Verskille in liggaamsbeeld tussen lewendig-verwante en kadawer renale oorplantingsresipiente is ondersoek. As deel van 'n kornprehensiewe sielkundige ondersoek is 'n liggaamsbeeld vraelys indvidueel toegepas op tien lewendig-verwante en 30 kadawer renale oorplantingspasiente. 'n Faktoranalise van die vraelys se items het agt faktore in die liggaamsbeeld bepalings getoon. Aparte faktortellings is toe bereken vir elke deelnerner aan die studie ten opsigte van elke faktor. Verdere statistiese ontleding van hierdie tellings het geen beduidende geslagsverwante verskille in die bepalings getoon nie, rnaar we1 dat lewendig-verwante renale resipiente vergeleke met kadawer renale resipiente in die geheel rninder positief gevoel het oor die liggaarn se fisiese aantreklikheid en fisiese kontak. Die implikasies van hierdie bevindinge vir dienslewering in die psigonef rolog ie word bespreek.
