Purpose : This study aimed to identify the factors affecting the quality of life of lung transplant patients.
Method : The participants were patients who received lung transplants at a general hospital in City Y. Data were collected through structured questionnaires from June 2023 to August 2023. General characteristics, lung transplantation-related characteristics, quality of life, functional disability, treatment compliance, social support, anxiety, and depression?were measured. For data analysis, hierarchical multiple regression was performed using SPSS/WIN 29.0.
Results : In the final model, quality of life was associated with income, self-help group attendance, functional disability, social support, treatment compliance, and anxiety and depression. Together, they explained 61.2% of the total variance in the results.
Conclusion : Our findings suggest that improving lung transplant patients’ quality of life requires active intervention in stress management to perform treatment instructions well, a social support system that can help them financially, and encouraging and participating in social activities as patients.
