Purpose: This study was aimed to investigate the relationship between the level of stress and the quality of life
among the adult recipients of living donor liver transplantation.
Methods: Participants were 213 outpatients who received living donor liver transplantation at least 3 months prior to this study. Stress was measured using a modified version of the Kidney Transplant Recipient Stressor Scale (KTRSS), and the quality of life was measured using SF-36 version 2.
Results: The mean of scaled stress level and quality of life of liver transplant recipients were 2.44±0.13, 69.28±18.25, respectively. There was an inverse correlation between those two parameters. Therefore lower stress could improve quality of life.
Conclusion: For the liver transplantation recipients, improving the quality of life is to be the ultimate goal of health-related mediation. Liver transplantation recipients would need to cultivate self-care ability to manage stress, and improving their quality of life.
