ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the postoperative psychological status of donors during pediatric living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) to elucidate the correlation between resilience,anxiety and depression.Methods Random sampling was employed for selecting 60 pediatric LDLT donors undergoing LDLT from September 2014 to February 2019.They were requested to answer a questionnaire.The questionnaire concluded general information,self-rating anxiety scale (SAS),selfrating depression scale (SDS) and Chinese version of Resilience Scale.Results The score of anxiety was (46.06 ± 10.06) and depression was (50.32 ± 11.49).Both values were higher than those of Chinese norm.The score of resilience was (59.55 ± 14.62).And the total score of resilience and the score of each dimension were negatively correlated with anxiety and depression (P＜0.01).Conclusions The postoperative anxiety and depression level of donors during LDLT are higher than the ordinary.Resilience is negatively correlated with the level of anxiety and depression.The lower level of resilience,the higher anxiety and depression of donors during LDLT.For clinicians,appropriate intervention measures should be taken for improving the resilience,reducing negative emotions and boosting the quality-of-life of donors during LDLT.
