Affecting Factors in Medication Adherence in Kidney Transplant Recipients
(Aves, 2023) Ordin, Yaprak Sarigol; Karayurt, Ozgul; Ertan, Nermin; Edeer, Aylin Durmaz; Yildiz, Serkan
Objective: This study aimed to determine the risk factors related to immunosuppressive medication adherence in kidney transplant recipients. Methods: The study adopted a retrospective design. It was carried out on 208 kidney transplant recipients. The social cognitive theory was used for understanding and addressing the issues of nonadherence to immunosuppressive medication. Data were collected with a self-reported-Immunosuppressant Therapy Adherence Scale and biological assays. Descriptive analyses and logistic regression were used to analyze data. Results: According to the self-reported assessment, medication adherence of the patients receiving transplants from live donors was 0.503 times lower than that of the patients receiving transplants from deceased donors. The biological assays did not show any affecting factors in medication adherence. Conclusion: The results of the study showed the importance of combining methods to assess medication adherence. In the self-reported assessment, live donor transplantation was found to negatively affect medication adherence. Turkiye is the country with the highest number of kidney transplantations from live donors in the world. Health professionals must be more careful in assessing medication adherence after live donor transplantations.

Evaluation of Psychosocial Outcomes of Living Liver Donors in Liver Transplantation
(Aves, 2022) Ordin, Yaprak Sarigol; Seren, Arzu Kader Harmanci; Karayurt, Ozgul; Kul, Gulay Aksu; Kılıç, Murat; Bozoklar, Cemal Ata; Tokat, Yaman
Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the risk factors affecting psychosocial outcomes of living liver donors after liver transplantations. Methods: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of living liver donors followed by 2 liver transplantation centers in 2 private hospitals in 2 different provinces, between August 2017 and October 2019. All the living liver donors were contacted without a time frame after donation and all the participants were evaluated once. The Beck Depression Scale, SF-36, General Self-Efficacy Scale, and Perceived Available Support Scale were used to collect data. The t-test, Kruskal-Wallis test, Mann-Whitney U-test, and Pearson correlation analysis were used for data analysis. Results: The mean age of the patients was 34.31 +/- 8.22 years. There was a positive, weak correlation between age and physical function. Gender, marital status, financial status, and education levels significantly affected physical components, social function, vitality, depression, and self-efficacy scores. High depression levels negatively affected the physical component, self-efficacy, and social support scores of the living liver donors. High self-efficacy positively affected social support. Conclusion: The study revealed that gender, marital status, employment status, and education levels were associated with psychosocial outcomes. The financial status was the main factor affecting each psychosocial variable. Financial status needs to be assessed in detail before and after the operation.

Exploration Into Donor-Recipient Relationship After Living-Donor Liver Transplantation Using Gift-Exchange Theory
(Istanbul Univ-Cerrahpasa, 2021) Ordin, Yaprak Sarigol; Karayurt, Ozgul; Kul, Gulay Aksu; Kılıç, Murat; Taylor, Laura A.
AIM: This qualitative study aimed to explore the donor-recipient relationships following living-donor liver transplantation. METHOD: A 1-time cross-sectional qualitative interview was conducted with liver transplant recipients (n = 17) and living liver donors (n = 11) post-transplant. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed manually by using thematic content analysis. RESULTS: The mean age of the recipients and the donors was 54.41 +/- 8.0 (range 39-71) and 36.6 +/- 7.69 (range 28-57) years, respectively. Following the interviews, 2 overarching themes emerged: (1) Became care providers, and (2) differentiation in relationships after transplantation. A total of 3 sub-themes were explained under differentiation in relationships after transplantation; feeling guilty, becoming closer and more intense owing to a feeling of indebtedness, and putting some distance owing to a feeling of indebtedness. CONCLUSION: The study focused on the reciprocation stage according to gift-exchange theory. During reciprocation, although recipients expressed positive feelings such as gratitude, closer relationships, and special bonds; they also reported negative feelings like guilt and indebtedness resulting in a purposeful distancing from their donors. Most donors understood what the recipients felt, but they wanted their relationship to return to normal. Married female donors had worse experiences, such as divorce or a weakened marital relationship after donation.

Pediatric Liver Transplant Patients' Transition To Adulthood: Patient and Parent Experiences
(Wiley, 2017) Ordin, Yaprak Sarigol; Karayurt, Ozgul; Unek, Tarkan; Astarcioglu, Ibrahim
This qualitative research study describes the experiences of child and adolescent liver transplant recipients and their parents during the patients' transition to adulthood. Data were collected from pediatric liver transplant recipients and their parents during individual interviews, and these were later analyzed using conventional content analysis. Seven main themes emerged: coping, self-management, body image, social relationships, academic life, work life, and live donors. Study results revealed that the patients who received liver transplants during their childhood and adolescence used both effective and ineffective strategies to cope with the difficulties they faced during the transition period into adulthood. The parents experienced many problems: on learning of their child's need for a transplant, parents were advised that they should consider becoming a live donor. This very difficult decision was a source of great stress and required serious consideration. After transplantation the parents wanted their children to have autonomy but could not encourage them because of concerns for their health.
