| Popis: |
The Downstate Medical Center has had continuing interest in behavioral observations of patients with end-stage renal disease.1 With the development of an active renal transplant program here four years ago, members of the Medical Psychiatric Liaison Service extended their activity to the study of the issues facing both transplant recipients and donors. Initially, we met regularly to listen to and to discuss the tape-recorded interviews that one of us (J.S.) had with these patients. From these weekly meetings, a more formal study ensued in which we addressed ourselves to investigating several issues: How do recipients and donors perceive the transplanted organ? What are the major stresses facing these patients? Do psychological factors affect the success or failure of renal transplantation? |
