Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the current level of kidney transplant knowledge among transplant recipients in Zhengzhou and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:A total of 328 kidney transplant recipients who underwent transplantation at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from June 2023 to July 2024 were selected using convenience sampling. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the Kidney Transplant Understanding Tool (K-TUT), the Chronic Disease Self-Efficacy Scale, and the Chinese version of the Perceived Social Support Scale. Multiple linear regression was performed to identify factors influencing transplant knowledge.Results:A total of 328 questionnaires were distributed and 315 valid responses were collected (effective response rate: 96.04%). The K-TUT score among the 315 recipients was (51.52±5.78). Correlation analysis showed that kidney transplant knowledge was positively associated with self-efficacy in chronic disease management and social support ( P<0.05). Multiple linear regression indicated that education level (β=0.132), monthly household income per capita (β=0.293), self-efficacy (β=0.242), and social support (β=0.386) were significant predictors of transplant knowledge ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The kidney transplant knowledge level among recipients in Zhengzhou remains suboptimal. Education programs should consider patients' educational and economic backgrounds, strengthen their social support systems, and focus on enhancing self-efficacy.
