[Journal of Psychosocial Nursing and Mental Health Services, xx(xx), xx-xx.]Öğe Artificial Intelligence in Mental Health Nursing: Balancing Clinical Efficiency and the Human Touch-A Quest for a New Synthesis(Wiley, 2025) Yildiz, ErmanBackgroundArtificial intelligence (AI) applications are increasingly being integrated into mental health nursing, presenting opportunities alongside challenges.AimThis article aims to examine the complex balance between leveraging AI for clinical efficiency and preserving indispensable human elements such as empathy and the therapeutic relationship in mental health nursing.MethodUtilizing a review of literature, theoretical approaches, and insights from field observations, this debate essay explores the integration of AI, focusing on potential benefits, risks, and ethical considerations.ResultsFindings indicate that while AI offers undeniable contributions to diagnostic processes and care coordination, its role should be complementary, not substitutive. Excessive reliance on algorithms risks damaging the patient-nurse relationship, potentially reducing individuals to data points. Significant ethical issues, including data privacy and algorithmic bias, require careful consideration.ConclusionAI should be implemented to enhance, not replace, human interaction in mental health nursing. A new synthesis is proposed where AI systems support efficiency, thereby allowing nurses more time to address patients' complex emotional needs. Key recommendations include restructuring nursing education, creating robust feedback channels, and establishing comprehensive ethical principles to preserve the essential human dimension of care.Öğe Associations between Psychological Resilience and Social Support with Posttraumatic Growth in Breast Cancer Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Harmanci, Pinar; Yildiz, ErmanThis cross-sectional study examined the associations of psychological resilience, perceived social support, and posttraumatic growth (PTG) in breast cancer (BC) patients (N = 203). The participants' mean age was 43.14 +/- 9.06, 80.3% were married, 40.9% had a university degree, 61.6% were unemployed, and 72.4% reported a moderate economic status. No significant correlation was found between PTG and psychological resilience, while a moderate and positive correlation was observed between PTG and perceived social support. A weak and positive correlation was also detected between perceived social support and psychological resilience. Professionals working in the field of psycho-oncology and social work can make attempts to increase psychological resilience, perceived social support, and PTG in BC patients.Öğe Balancing Innovation and Humanism: An Ethical Debate on AI and VR in Psychiatric Nursing Education(Wiley, 2026) Yildiz, ErmanBackground: Artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR) technologies are increasingly integrated into psychiatric nursing education, presenting both significant opportunities for innovation and profound risks of dehumanisation. Aim: This debate essay critically examines the central tension between leveraging AI and VR for enhanced educational outcomes (innovation) and the imperative to preserve essential human elements grounded in personalist ethics (dignity, autonomy, integrity, vulnerability) in psychiatric nursing preparation. ' Method: Drawing on a critical analysis of current literature identified through targeted database searches and theoretical synthesis, theoretical perspectives including personalist ethics, sociotechnical theories like posthumanism and cyborg ontology, and technology adoption, and considering the implications for individuals with lived experience, this essay debates the potential benefits and ethical perils of AI/VR integration in this sensitive field. Results: The analysis suggests AI and VR offer potential pedagogical advantages, including standardised skills practice, safe exposure to high-risk scenarios, and enhanced clinical reasoning development. However, significant concerns arise regarding the potential for simulated experiences to foster reductive understandings of mental health conditions, erode human connection (integrity, dignity), introduce bias (threatening autonomy, dignity), compromise privacy (integrity), and exacerbate global inequities. The integration challenges echo controversies seen in clinical practice, such as those surrounding surveillance technologies. The impact on individuals with lived experience, both in how they are represented and how future nurses interact with them, is a central ethical concern. Conclusion: A 'new synthesis' guided by personalist principles is necessary, moving beyond a simple technology-versus-humanity dichotomy. AI and VR should be implemented strategically to augment, not supplant, human-centred pedagogy. This requires robust ethical frameworks, culturally responsive design, critical reflection, faculty development, and a constant focus on ensuring these tools ultimately support the development of nurses who are both technologically adept and ethically grounded, attuned to the human experience of mental health distress. The goal is innovation that serves, rather than undermines, compassionate care and human dignity.Öğe Beyond Self-Stigma in Bipolar Disorder: Self-Compassion as a Target for Mental Health Nursing Interventions-Conditional Indirect Effects by Treatment Adherence and Age(Wiley, 2026) Yildiz, Erman; Orum, GamzeSelf-stigma profoundly impacts psychological well-being in individuals with bipolar disorder, yet the mechanisms underlying this relationship remain unclear. This study examined whether self-compassion mediates the relationship between self-stigma and psychological well-being, whether treatment adherence moderates this mediating pathway, and whether age moderates the direct relationship. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 121 outpatients diagnosed with Bipolar Type I Disorder receiving care at two hospitals in Eastern T & uuml;rkiye between January 2024 and February 2025. Participants completed validated measures of self-stigma, self-compassion, and psychological well-being during clinical remission. Data were analysed using mediation, moderated mediation, and simple moderation models with bootstrap procedures. Self-stigma demonstrated a strong negative total effect on well-being. Self-compassion partially mediated this relationship, explaining 27% of the total effect. Critically, moderated mediation analysis revealed that treatment adherence significantly altered the strength of this mediating pathway. Among individuals with poor treatment adherence, self-stigma more severely compromised self-compassion, resulting in a substantially stronger indirect effect on well-being compared to those with good adherence. The difference between these conditional indirect effects was statistically significant. Additionally, age moderated the direct relationship between self-stigma and well-being, with younger adults showing greater vulnerability than older adults, though age did not moderate the self-compassion pathway. These findings identify self-compassion as a key but conditionally effective protective mechanism against self-stigma. Treatment adherence emerges as a critical factor that preserves this protective mechanism, suggesting that adherence promotion represents both a clinical and psychosocial intervention target for mental health nurses.Öğe The care burden and coping levels of chronic psychiatric patients' caregivers(Wiley, 2018) Aylaz, Rukuye; Yildiz, ErmanPurposeThis descriptive study was conducted in order to determine care burden of caregivers of chronic psychiatric patients and their levels of coping with stress. MethodsThe study was conducted with 134 caregivers of chronic psychiatric patients. The following data collection tools were used: the personal information form, the ZBI and SCI. The study participants were selected from the population by using an improbable random sampling method. ResultsThe average age of the caregivers was 49.9513.68 and the majority were married and primary school graduates. ConclusionThis study determined that caregivers experienced a high level of burden. However, while the deal with their difficulties of providing effective care was found to have more coping methods they use.Öğe Digital Support for Complex Interventions in Psychiatric Nursing: Implementation Models and Effectiveness Evaluation(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2025) Yildiz, Erman; Harmanci, PinarDigital technologies are increasingly integrated into psychiatric nursing, yet a comprehensive understanding of their implementation and effectiveness remains limited. This bibliometric analysis explored the research landscape of digitally-supported interventions, focusing on models, effectiveness, and future directions. A systematic search of the Web of Science Core Collection (2019-2024) was conducted, combining bibliometric mapping with thematic analysis. Four thematic clusters emerged: (1) Digital Psychiatry and m-Health Applications, (2) Simulation and VR in Nursing Education, (3) Telemedicine and Mental Health in the COVID-19 Era, and (4) Foundational Concepts of Digital Mental Health. m-Health applications were central themes, while telemedicine's role was crucial during the pandemic. The study highlights the importance of digital technologies, especially m-health, in psychiatric nursing and underscores the need to enhance nurses' digital skills and develop effective nurse-led interventions. The analysis also identifies critical research gaps concerning clinically meaningful outcomes, cost-effectiveness, transferability, and patient/provider experiences. These findings provide a roadmap for future investigations to improve patient care.Öğe The effect of general health on the psychological well-being of post-operative liver transplantation patients receiving immunosuppressants(Kare Publ, 2023) Harmanci, Pinar; Bulbuloglu, Semra; Yildiz, ErmanObjectives: This study aims to examine the effect of general health status on the psychological well-being of liver transplant recipients receiving immunosuppressive therapy.Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out with the participation of 116 liver transplant recipients at the organ transplant institute of a research and practice hospital. We used personal information form, general health questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12), and psychological well-being (PWB) scale to collect data and performed the data analysis using statistical packed for the social sciences 25.0 by IBM.Results: Of the participants, 50% were women and between the ages of 51-64 and 52.6% had less income than their expenses; 75.9% of the recipients had a chronic disease, 33.6% had diabetes mellitus, and 25.9% had coronary artery disease. The GHQ-12 total score was high for psychiatric disorders, while the PWB scale score was moderate. There was a statistically significant, positive, and strong relationship between general health and PWB (p<0.05, r=0.022).Conclusion: General health and PWB are two important factors that mutually affect each other. Recognizing the poor psychological state of liver transplant patients and improving their general health contributes to a good postoperative period. During the post-operative period, liver recipients should be carefully monitored, and their psychological state should be improved.Öğe The effects of acceptance and commitment therapy in psychosis treatment: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials(Wiley, 2020) Yildiz, ErmanPurpose To identify, evaluate, and synthesize existing randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that examine the effect of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) in the treatment of psychotic disorders and to integrate this knowledge and experience into the nursing literature. Design and Methods This systematic review is based on the Joanna Briggs Institute and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Findings This study was completed with 11 RCTs meeting the research criteria. It has been determined that the vast majority (82%) of the assessed studies were published after 2010. There is evidence that ACT is effective on depression, anxiety, and hallucinations seen in psychotic disorders. Practice Implications ACT is seen as a reasonable approach to be used and tested by nurses and other clinicians because it provides an explanatory and pragmatic approach to psychotic disorders.Öğe The effects of acceptance and commitment therapy on lifestyle and behavioral changes: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials(Wiley, 2020) Yildiz, ErmanPurpose To determine, evaluate, and synthesize the best available evidence about the evidence-based pragmatic effects of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on lifestyle and behavioral changes (LBCs). Design and Methods The PICOS formulations were used to improve the search strategy of this systematic review with the aim to find the right evidence and ask the right questions. The assessed articles were subjected to quality assessment using the PRISMA checklist and the Joanna Briggs Institute's standardized critical assessment and data extraction tools. Findings This study involved 30 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) which met the research criteria. Although the included RCTs have several limitations in themselves, the results of this study suggested that the ACT will help maintain long-term LBCs (eg, weight management, effective coping with substance-related and addictive problems, eating and physical activity). Practice Implications Given that ACT is a trandiagnostic approach that promotes health-related LBCs in many diseases and populations, it seems reasonable for clinicians to use and test ACT to achieve pragmatic results.Öğe Ethical Big Data for Personalised Mental Health Nursing: A P4 and Systems View(Wiley, 2025) Yildiz, ErmanBackground: Mental health nursing faces transformation through big data and metadata integration. These technologies create new opportunities but introduce ethical and practical complexities. Digital adoption accelerated during COVID-19, making it essential to understand implications for nursing practice. Aim: This perspective paper aims to critically examine the transformative potential and ethical dilemmas of leveraging big data in mental health nursing, guided by systems biology and P4 (Predictive, Preventive, Personalised, and Participatory) medicine principles. It seeks to define the evolving roles of mental health nurses in this new digital landscape. Method: This perspective essay utilises a focused literature review of key studies in nursing, psychiatry, informatics, and ethics, alongside theoretical approaches including systems biology, P4 medicine, and a personalist ethical framework. The analysis explores the integration of big data, focusing on potential benefits, risks, and ethical considerations.Results Big data contributes meaningfully to early diagnosis, personalised treatments, and prevention strategies. However, these contributions must supplement, not substitute, traditional nursing approaches. AI diagnostic tools and digital phenotyping for relapse prediction demonstrate practical applications. Excessive algorithmic dependence risks damaging patient-nurse relationships. Data privacy, algorithmic bias, and access inequities present significant ethical challenges requiring careful attention. Conclusion: Big data implementation should enhance, not replace, human interaction in mental health nursing. A new synthesis is proposed where data-driven insights support efficiency, allowing nurses more time for complex emotional needs. Key recommendations include strengthening data literacy in nursing education, developing robust data governance policies, and establishing comprehensive ethical principles to preserve the essential human dimension of care and ensure equitable access.Öğe Ethics in nursing: A systematic review of the framework of evidence perspective(Sage Publications Ltd, 2019) Yildiz, ErmanAim: To determine the current state of knowledge on nursing and ethics and to assess the knowledge and experience based on the evidence in this regard. Background: Although ethics is at the center of the nursing profession and the ethical issues affecting nurses are given much importance, few studies have focused on professional ethics in nursing. In this respect, ethics has become a concept that contains controversial and ambiguous situations. Design: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guide, a basic search algorithm, was taken. Data sources: Cochrane, PubMed, CINAHL Complete, PsycINFO, and ULAKBIM from 2012 to 2016. Review methods: Following a systematic search strategy, all papers were assessed in relation to inclusion criteria and type of study. When sufficient information was not available in the title and summary of the works, the necessary data were evaluated in full texts. Results: This review was completed with 27 articles meeting the research criteria. The evaluation identified six themes: (1) ethics and nursing, (2) ethical difficulties/ethical dilemmas and nursing, (3) ethical competence and nursing, (4) professional ethics and nursing, (5) ethics, education, and nursing, and (6) ethics in health research. Conclusion: As a result of the review, a synthesis of high evidence-level research relating to nursing ethics was obtained. The emphasis was on the importance of further research and education so that the ethical aspects of nursing can be better understood throughout the studies. Nursing researchers' level of evidence on ethics and their orientation to high research design will shed light on uncertain and controversial aspects of the subject. Ethical consideration: Since this was a systematic review, no ethical approval was required. There is no conflict of interest in this literature review.Öğe How Counseling Based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Supported with Motivational Interviewing Affects Levels of Functional Recovery in Patients Diagnosed with Schizophrenia: A Quasi-Experimental Study(Sage Publications Inc, 2021) Yildiz, Erman; Aylaz, RukuyeThis study aimed to determine how counseling based on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and supported with motivational interviewing (MIs) affected functional recovery in individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia (IDSs). A quasi-experimental design was used. The participants of this study were 87 individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia (36 in the experimental group and 51 in the control group). The experimental group received counseling based on ACT and supported with MIs. The data were collected between September 2018 and May 2019 using a Descriptive Information Form and the Functional Remission of General Schizophrenia Scale (FROGS). The participants in the experimental group were given a group counseling program of eight sessions at community mental health centers in downtown Malatya, Turkey. The results revealed a statistically significant difference in the mean scores on FROGS between those in the IDS experimental group and those in the control group. The scores increased on both groups.Öğe How Counseling Based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Supported With Motivational Interviewing Affects the Perceptions of Treatment Motivation in Patients Diagnosed With Schizophrenia: A Qualitative Study(Sage Publications Inc, 2021) Yildiz, Erman; Aylaz, RukuyeBACKGROUND:Lack of motivation is a common phenomenon in treatment of schizophrenia. Despite information that various psychosocial approaches may help overcome lack of motivation, their content and nature remain uncertain. However, in recent years, there is an increasing interest in psychosocial interventions such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and motivational interviewing (MI) techniques in approaching individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia (IDSs). In this study, the therapeutic models of ACT and MI were combined to create an innovative integrative approach to address the problem of lack of motivation in IDSs.AIMS: This study was conducted to determine how a counseling program based on ACT and supported with MI affected the perceptions of treatment motivation in IDSs.METHOD:This study addressed the qualitative aspects of a doctoral dissertation designed as a quasi-experimental study that gathered both quantitative and qualitative data.RESULTS:As a result of the content analysis, three main themes and 10 categories that motivated IDSs for compliance with regular treatment were developed. The participants in the experimental group expressed a focused treatment motivation to participate in daily life activities and social relations, acceptance of illness, satisfaction with life despite side effects and leading a value-oriented life in comparison with the control group.CONCLUSIONS:Counseling based on ACT and supported with the MI technique is effective in improving treatment motivation in IDSs. This counseling may be implemented as an effective psychiatric nursing intervention for IDSs.Öğe Immersive Solutions With Real-World Impact: Integrating Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality Into Global Suicide Prevention Training for Psychiatric Nurses(Wiley, 2025) Yildiz, ErmanThe ongoing global suicide crisis demands urgent attention, with over 720 000 lives lost annually; a stark reality demanding multifaceted intervention strategies. Compounding this issue, approximately 73% of these deaths occur within low- and middle-income countries; this disparity necessitates focused resource allocation and culturally sensitive approaches. Psychiatric nurses occupy a critical position in suicide prevention efforts, serving as frontline responders in moments of acute crisis. Existing educational methodologies, including traditional lectures and role-playing simulations, frequently fall short, however. They often fail to adequately prepare nurses for the complexities of real-world scenarios. This article investigates the potential of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR) technologies into suicide prevention education for psychiatric nursing. Specifically, it explores how these technologies can enhance training through immersive simulations, personalised feedback mechanisms and advanced data analytics, aiming to strengthen capacity-building, a core pillar identified by the WHO LIVE LIFE framework. Taking a global perspective, this article considers disparities in technological access and variations in cultural perceptions of suicide across high-income countries and low- and middle-income countries; acknowledging that technological solutions must be implemented equitably and with cultural sensitivity. Critical ethical considerations, including data privacy, algorithmic bias and potential overreliance on technology, require careful consideration. To address these challenges, a resource-appropriate and culturally sensitive framework is proposed for integrating AI and VR into nursing education, with the ultimate goal of reducing global suicide rates. Recommendations are presented concerning interdisciplinary collaboration and the ethical utilisation of technology.Öğe Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence in Suicide Prevention: A Bibliometric Analysis of Emerging Trends and Implications for Nursing(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2025) Yildiz, ErmanNurses play a crucial role in suicide prevention, yet the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies into nursing practice remains understudied. This research examines how these technologies can enhance nurses' ability to identify and intervene with at-risk patients. A systematic bibliometric analysis and thematic mapping approach was employed. The Web of Science database was searched for relevant publications from January 2019 to October 2024. The initial search yielded 883 publications, with 257 meeting the inclusion criteria after systematic screening. Analysis revealed six distinct research clusters, with machine learning-based behavioral prediction emerging as the dominant theme. Findings indicate significant potential for integrating artificial intelligence-supported tools into nursing workflows, particularly in risk assessment and early intervention. Natural language processing and ecological momentary assessment emerged as promising approaches for enhancing nurse-patient communication and monitoring. These findings suggest opportunities for nurses to leverage artificial intelligence technologies in suicide prevention while maintaining the essential human element of care. This study provides evidence-based guidance for nurses implementing artificial intelligence-supported suicide prevention tools while maintaining therapeutic relationships and professional judgment in clinical practice.Öğe The mediating role of psychological flexibility in the relationship between psychotic symptom severity and depression in individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia(Wiley, 2024) Yildiz, Erman; Yildirim, OezlemWhat is known about the subject? Psychotic symptoms and depression are common problems in people diagnosed with schizophrenia. Psychological flexibility is a skill that facilitates coping with difficulties. There is limited research on the role of psychological flexibility in the relationship between psychotic symptoms and depression in people diagnosed with schizophrenia.What does the article add to existing knowledge? This article investigates the role of psychological flexibility in the link between psychotic symptom severity and depression in people diagnosed with schizophrenia. The article shows that psychological flexibility partially mediates the relationship between psychotic symptom severity and depression. The article suggests that interventions aimed at improving psychological flexibility may be beneficial in reducing depressive symptoms in people diagnosed with schizophrenia.What are the implications for practice? Mental health nurses should consider psychotic symptom severity and psychological flexibility when assessing and intervening for depressive symptoms in people diagnosed with schizophrenia. Mental health nurses should receive training to improve psychological flexibility and pass this skill on to their patients. Mental health nurses should continue to research the effectiveness and outcomes of interventions aimed at improving psychological flexibility.IntroductionPsychological flexibility may help people diagnosed with schizophrenia (PWS) cope with their psychotic symptoms and reduce their depressive symptoms, but the mechanism of this effect is unclear.AimTo investigate whether psychological flexibility mediates the relationship between psychotic symptom severity and depression in PWS.MethodA cross-sectional study was conducted, in which a total of 111 PWS were assessed with DSM-5 Clinician-Rated Dimensions of Psychosis Symptom Severity, Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia and Acceptance and Action Questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 25 and PROCESS macro.ResultsSignificant correlations were found between psychotic symptoms, depression and psychological flexibility. Psychological flexibility partially mediated the relationship between psychotic symptom severity and depression.DiscussionPsychological flexibility could weaken the impact of psychotic symptom severity on depression in PWS. Higher psychotic symptoms were associated with lower psychological flexibility and higher depression.Implications for PracticeInterventions to improve psychological flexibility may prevent depressive symptoms in PWS. Psychiatric nurses can use psychological flexibility as a goal for evaluation and intervention.Öğe Nurses' Cultural Intelligence, Communication Skills and Related Factors: A Path Analysis(Inonu University, 2024) Orhan, İlksen; Yildiz, Erman; Ağrali, Cansu; Ünal, EsraThis research was conducted to determine nurses' cultural intelligence, communication skills, and related factors. The research, which had a cross-sectional and correlation-seeking design, was conducted between May and August 2023 with 410 nurses volunteering to participate in the study at a hospital. The data was collected online with the Google Form application, which consists of three parts: "Introductory Information Form, Cultural Intelligence Scale, and Communication Skills Scale". Path analysis was performed to determine the factors affecting the Cultural Intelligence Scale (CIS) and Communication Skills Scale (CSS). In this study, it was determined that there was a moderately strong and positive relationship between cultural intelligence and communication skills. Gender, education level, and age were found to be important factors affecting cultural intelligence. These factors explained 28.2% of the variation in cultural intelligence scores. It was concluded that receiving training on cultural practices in nurses increases the level of communication skills, gender is an effective factor in cultural intelligence, increasing the level of education increases the level of cultural intelligence, and nurses with high communication skills have higher levels of cultural intelligence. © 2024, Inonu University.

Five distinct research clusters emerged, mapping the core intersections of the field: (1) Palliative Care in Dementia and Related Cognitive Disorders; (2) Addressing Psychological and Spiritual Needs at the End of Life; (3) The Interplay of Mental Health and Physical Illness in Palliative Settings; (4) Optimising Quality of Life in Terminal Cancer Care; and (5) Addressing Pain in Patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment. A substantial Western-centric research bias was also observed.Conclusions This study provides the first bibliometric map of psychiatric palliative care, identifying key thematic intersections and research gaps. The findings highlight an urgent need for integrated care pathways, culturally sensitive methodologies and expanded global research. Addressing how social determinants of health impact access to quality palliative care for this vulnerable population is critical for achieving health equity.Öğe Perceived social support associated with posttraumatic growth in liver transplant recipients: A cross-sectional study(Elsevier, 2022) Yildiz, Erman; Demir, Bilsev; Saritasl, SerdarIntroduction: There is almost no information about the role of perceived social support, one of the main variables facilitating posttraumatic growth, in liver transplant. For this reason, the issue requires further clarity. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between perceived social support and posttraumatic growth in individuals receiving liver transplants.Method: This cross-sectional study was carried out with liver transplant recipients at a hospital in eastern Turkey (N = 117). The data collection instruments included a Descriptive Characteristics Form, the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and hierarchical linear regression analysis.Results: It was revealed that the participants had high levels of posttraumatic growth (73.05 +/- 16.82) and perceived social support (67.75 +/- 14.33). A moderate and positive relationship was determined between the mean perceived social support total score and the mean posttraumatic growth total score of the participants (p < 0.01). Perceived social support explained 25.6% of the variance in posttraumatic growth (F = 39.600; p < 0.05; Adjusted R-2= 0.256), while perceived social support together with primary school-level education and low economic status explained 32.3% of the variance in posttraumatic growth (F = 17.954; p < 0.05; Adjusted R-2=0.323).Conclusion: The results on perceived social support revealed that liver transplant recipients had a subjective feeling of being understood, respected and supported by their families more than friends and significant other in a social environment. This study showed that high perceived social support contributes to posttraumatic growth in liver transplant recipients. Apart from perceived social support, other factors affecting posttraumatic growth included individuals' perceptions of their education level and economic situation.
