Abstract

|
Purpose: The purpose of this phenomenological study was to understand the experiences in the transplantation coordinators¡¯¡¯ practice.
Method: Data was collected through a tape-recorded in-depth interview from nine participants who were transplantation coordinators of their hospitals. It was analyzed using the phenomenological method proposed by Colaizzi(1978).
Results: From significant statements, six categories of themes were integrated into the essential structure of the experiences of transplantation coordinators. Six categories of themes were ¡¯¡¯continue to be professional during dash this way and rush that¡¯¡¯, ¡¯¡¯burden due to persistent heavy work¡¯¡¯, ¡¯¡¯the uniqueness in family care of the brain-dead patients¡¯¡¯, ¡¯¡¯support of family and a professional group¡¯¡¯, ¡¯¡¯worthiness and achievement of the patients¡¯¡¯ recovery¡¯¡¯, and ¡¯¡¯establishment of self-confidence as a coordinator¡¯¡¯.
Conclusion: Although the transplantation coordinators played various roles, they had a conflict in role identity due to poor working environments. The results of this study suggested that development of an educational program, an increase in understanding for the coordinators¡¯¡¯ role, and institutional support for better working conditions are needed to get professional acknowledgement for transplantation coordinators.
