摘要

The main purpose of this study is to explore the life quality of heart transplant recipients and correlated factors. Data was collected by a questionnaire composed of instruments including Quality of Life Index (QLI), Symptom Frequency Distress Checklists and Health Information Scale. Forty-three adult patients after heart transplantation completed the questionnaires either at their follow-up OPD appointment or at their home. The major findings of this study were: (1) QLI mean score is 22.07, which showed a moderated satisfaction after heart transplantation; (2) the most frequent and distressing symptoms for heart transplant recipients were excessive hair growth, acne, menstrual cycle disorders, palpitations, tremors, poor concentration and memory; (3) there were no significant differences between QLI in terms of age, sex, marriage, religion, social status; (4) those who with most frequent or higher distress symptoms correlated with less life satisfaction (p＜0.01); (5) higher health information score correlated significantly (p＜0.05) with better life satisfaction. Findings also indicated that most heart transplant recipients have better quality of life after transplant surgery.
