- The liver transplant patient: characterization of the therapeutic regimen management stylePublication . Mota, Liliana; Bastos, Fernanda; Brito, AliceBackground: The characterization of the therapeutic regimen management style may help predict how individuals will manage their therapeutic regimens after liver transplantation. Objectives: To describe liver transplant recipients’ therapeutic regimen management style and identify its impact on success indicators. Methodology: Quantitative, descriptive, and exploratory study using the instrument for therapeutic regimen management style characterization. Results: A style close to the responsible style (51.35) and the undefined style (47.4%) are the predominant therapeutic regimen management styles, with characteristics of the 4 theoretical styles. No statistically significant correlation was found between qualitative indicators of success, intensity of alteration in analytical values and therapeutic regimen management styles. Conclusion: The predominant style in this sample is the responsible style. Therapeutic regimen management styles have a weak impact on the alteration of intensity in analytical values and qualitative indicators. The identification of each style allows anticipating difficulties and implementing nursing interventions targeted at individual characteristics.
- Liver transplant recipients: nursing therapeutics during follow-upPublication . Mota, Liliana; Bastos, Fernanda; Brito, AliceBackground: The implementation of nursing therapeutics adjusted to the actual needs of liver transplant recipients can have a significant impact on transplantation outcomes since, after transplantation, patients are encouraged to change the way in which they manage their therapeutic regimen towards success. Objective: To identify the nursing foci and the interventions implemented to address the healthcare needs of liver transplant recipients. Methodology: Qualitative, retrospective study conducted at a transplant center, using descriptive statistics to analyze nursing records between July 2010 and September 2014. Results: The most common nursing focus was susceptibility to infection (67.30%) with the implementation of interventions related primarily to the teaching action type. Most of the interventions (57.07%) were related to the observing action type. Conclusion: The follow-up of liver transplant recipients focuses essentially on bodily processes and the monitoring of signs and symptoms of disease complications.
