Aim:This study aimed to explore depressive symptoms and associated factors among renal-transplant(RT)recipients in China.Methods:This study included 287 RT recipients.Data were collected from August to November 2014 by utilizing demographic forms,namely,the Self-rating Depression Scale and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support.Descriptive statistics,Student's t test,Chi-square test,ANOVA,and multiple linear regression were used for data analysis.Results:More than half of the recipients presented depressive symptoms.All recipients in the four transplant period groups(≤5 yr,5e10 yr,10e15 yr,and>15 yr)reported greater depressive symptoms than the Norm.No significant difference was observed in the depressive symptoms in the four transplant period groups.Multiple linear regression indicated that depressive symptoms were significantly associated with employment status,economic burden,inhabitation area,and social support.Conclusion:Depression is common among RT recipients in China.Employment status,economic burden,inhabitation area,and social support are the main factors affecting depression among RT recipients.Follow-up clinics should prescribe the evaluation of depression as a routine examination for RT patients.Moreover,depressed recipients must be provided with individualized care by collecting information on the depressive symptoms,employment status,economic burden,inhabitation area,and perceived social support of recipients.
目的了解肾移植受者服药依从性现状及其与健康相关生活质量的相关关系。方法对纳入研究的196例患者,运用简明健康调查表SF-36(the Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short-form Health Survey,MOS SF-36)及肾移植受者服药依从性问卷进行调查。采用Pearson相关及多元线性回归来分析服药依从性与健康相关生活质量的关系。结果肾移植受者的服药依从性与健康相关生活质量的精神健康领域及生理领域均存在正相关,分别为精神健康领域(r=0.603,P<0.01)、生理领域(r=0.214,P<0.01)。进入精神健康领域回归方程的有按时服药、漏服药、按剂量服药条目,综合解释了精神健康领域变异的48.7%。进入生理领域回归方程的为漏服药条目,但仅解释了生理领域4.6%的变异。结论肾移植术后患者的服药依从性与健康相关生活质量之间存在一定的正相关,与生活质量的精神健康领域正相关程度密切;采取相应的干预措施提高肾移植受者的服药依从性,有助于提高肾移植受者的健康相关生活质量。
