Abstract:
Objective To investigate the anxiety in relatives of liver transplant (LT) recipients and explore its impact factors.Methods The anxiety in 50 relatives of LT recipients who admitted to our hospital from January 2005 to December 2008,was assessed by Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and compared with that of domestic norm.The impact factors of anxiety in relatives of LT recipients were analyzed by Stepwise logistic regression analysis.Results The scores of anxiety in 50 relatives of LT recipients were (35.1±8.1),which was statistically higher than that of the norm (29.8±10.1,n=1158,P＜0.05).Stepwise logistic regression analysis showed that occupation,monthly per capita income and postoperative complications of the patients were the impact factors of anxiety in relatives; the relatives being administrative staff,physician,teacher and office worker had significantly higher SAS scores than the relatives being private business owner,worker and peasant family (P＜0.10); the relatives with lower per capita income (＜3500 RMB) had obviously higher SAS scores than the relatives with higher per capita income (＞7000 RMB,P＜0.05); the relatives of patients with postoperative complications had significantly higher SAS scores than the relatives of patients without postoperative complications (P＜0.01).Conclusion The level of anxiety in relatives of LT recipients is higher than that of general population,and it may be affected by their per capita income and patient's postoperative complications.
