Abstract:
Objective:To explore benefit finding in patients receiving combined heart-lung transplantation (CHLT) , and provide a reference for improving clinical nursing work.Methods:From September to October 2019, totally 6 patients who survived after CHLT in the Department of Cardiac Surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University were selected by purposive sampling for semi-structured interviews in terms of their benefit finding using phenomenological methods. Colaizzi's seven-step analysis was used to organize and analyze the interview results.Results:The patients undergoing CHLT showed a sense of benefit finding, which could be summarized into four themes, namely, changes in mental quality (learning to be grateful and contented, understanding the meaning of life, learning to be open-minded and optimistic) , improved learning initiative (actively learning drug-related knowledge, the knowledge of rehabilitation and exercise, the knowledge of diet and nutrition, and the knowledge of prevention of complications) , perceiving social support (family members changed life habits, family members actively learned disease knowledge, improved communication between patients and family members and friends) , and actively planning future life.Conclusions:The patients receiving CHLT can experience a sense of benefit finding in the rehabilitation after organ transplantation. Medical staff should understand the sense of benefit finding in patients receiving CHLT, promote the early generation of benefiting finding, and provide targeted guidance to patients.
