Özet
Aim: This study aimed to determine psychosocial conditions, post-traumatic stress, depression, and anxiety of children who underwent a liver transplant. Method: This is a relational descriptive study, which was conducted between March 2019 and December 2020 in the Inonu University Liver Transplantation Institute Pediatric Liver Transplant Clinic. The Child Information Form, Child Post-Traumatic Stress Reaction Index, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children-Trait Form, and Children's Depression Inventory were used to collect data. The study was conducted with 71 children who had a previous liver transplant. Results: Of the participating children, 56.3% were girls, 63.4% continued their primary school education after the transplant, 32.5% were diagnosed with cirrhosis, 39.4% received the transplant in 2017, 32.4% received it from the mother, and 25.4% received it from a cadaveric donor. Although it had been at least 3 years since the transplant, 47.9% exhibited moderate and 43.7% severe post-traumatic stress responses. There was a significant negative relationship between the age of children with a liver transplant and trait anxiety and post-traumatic stress responses (path coefficients beta = -0.268, p = 0.002; beta = -0.166, p = 0.023, respectively). There was a significant positive relationship between anxiety and post-traumatic stress responses of the children after the transplant and there was a statistically significant relationship between the path coefficients (beta = 0.750; p < 0.001). Conclusion: Children who underwent a liver transplant had post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and trait anxiety.
