Psychosocial Outcomes of Donors Whose Recipients Died After Living Donor Liver Transplantation.

Purpose: Our aim was to investigate the psychosocial outcomes of the donors whose recipients died after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT).

Methods: Forty-one donors whose recipients died and 87 donors whose recipients were alive after LDLT at Inonu University Liver Transplantation Institute between 2012 and 2017 were included into the study. Demographic data form, Beck anxiety scale, Beck depression scale, Beck Hopelessness Scale, Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, Decision Regret Scale, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and general evaluation questionnaire (24 questions) were used in all donors by face to face questioning.
