Clinical Trial Summary

The overall long term objective of this research is to improve health care utilization and quality of life of pediatric solid organ transplant recipients and family. Understanding the process of transition to a chronic medical condition during the acute (3 weeks after transplant) and long term (3 and 6 months) will significantly guide the development of clinical interventions aimed at maximizing adherence and family psychosocial adjustment.


Clinical Trial Description

Parents of children that have received a heart, kidney, liver or lung transplant will be invited to participate in this protocol.

Involvement in this study entails completion of questionnaires at 4 separate time points. Parents will first complete questionnaires regarding discharge teaching, care coordination and readiness for hospital discharge on the day of discharge from the hospital. Parents will subsequently complete questionnaires at 3 weeks, 3 months and 6 months after discharge. The post discharge questionnaires assess coping, family management, adherence and utilization of healthcare resources.

Currently, no research has been conducted related to readiness for hospital discharge of a parent as the primary caregiver for a child with solid organ transplant or the sequential relationships between hospitalization care and the trajectory of post-discharge outcomes. This research will fill the gap in knowledge needed for care of solid organ transplant children and parents.

The ability to identify factors in the first year after transplant that are predictive of decreased coping and non-adherence affords an opportunity to develop nursing and health interventions that have significant implications for care decisions, as well as disease activity and health care costs. ;
