ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the effect of personalized psychological intervention based upon acceptance and commitment therapy on paternal donors and spouses after pediatric liver transplantation.Methods:From July 2017 to November 2019, a total of 160 parental donors and spouses undergoing pediatric liver transplantation were selected as research objects.Through a random number table, 40 donors and 40 liver donor spouses were assigned into control and experimental groups.The control group received routine psychological intervention while the experimental group had personalized psychological intervention with acceptance and commitment therapy based upon conventional psychological intervention.Symptom checklist-90, numeric rating scale, chronic pain acceptance questionnaire-8, length of stay, hospitalization cost, complication rate, initial postoperative ambulation time and hospital satisfaction were employed as evaluation tools.Results:After interventions, SCL-90 score, pain assessment score and initial ambulation time of donor group were significantly lower than those of control group( P<0.05). Hospitalization satisfaction and chronic pain acceptance were significantly higher than those of control group( P<0.05). SCL-90 score was significantly lower in liver spouse observation group than that in control group and hospitalization satisfaction higher than control group( P<0.05). Conclusions:Personalized psychological intervention based upon acceptance and commitment therapy can help parental donors and spouses to improve their mental health, help donors to recover sooner and boost hospitalization satisfaction.
