Analysis of social support and psychological changes in kidney transplant recipients during the perioperative and follow-up periods and their cor-relation
Objective To analyze the social support and psychological status of kidney transplant recipients during the perioperative and follow-up periods,and clarify their correlation.Methods A total of 64 perioperative kidney transplant recipients from April to November 2021 and 70 fol-low-up kidney transplant recipients from November 2019 to May 2021 in China-Japan Friendship Hospital were investigated by using the basic situation questionnaire,social support assessment scale,and 90-item symptom self-assessment scale.Results The score of objective support in pe-rioperative kidney transplantation was lower than that in follow-up period,and the score of utilization of support was higher than that in follow-up period(P<0.05).The depression scores of kidney transplantation recipients in perioperative period were higher than those in follow-up period,and the anxiety scores were lower than those in follow-up period(P<0.05).There was no correlation between psychological emotion and social support score in perioperative kidney transplantation recipients(P>0.05).The psychological and emotional scores of kidney transplant recipients were correlated with social support scores,and social support was negatively correlated with somatization,obsessive symptoms,depression,and paranoia(r=-0.210,-0.206,-0.229,-0.218,P<0.05).Subjective support was negatively correlated with somatization,terror,and others(r=-0.205,-0.223,-0.214,P<0.05).Support availability was negatively correlated with obsessive-compulsive symptoms,interpersonal sensitivity,depression,anxi-ety,hostility,paranoia,and psychosis(r=-0.228,-0.206,-0.264,-0.284,-0.30,-0.281,-0.201,P<0.05).Conclusion There are differences in social support and psychological emotions between renal transplant recipients during the perioperative and follow-up periods,and kidney transplant recipients during the follow-up period are more susceptible to the influence of social support on their psychological emotions.
