Area of Science:

  • Transplant Medicine
  • Psychosocial Care
  • Healthcare Policy

Background:

  • Solid organ transplantation is a standard treatment for end-stage organ dysfunction.
  • Medical eligibility and center competencies are defined, but psychosocial service criteria are lacking.
  • There is a need for established guidelines for psychosocial support in transplantation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine essential psychosocial services for comprehensive care of transplant patients in the US.
  • To gather expert opinions from a specialty psychosocial transplant meeting.

Main Methods:

  • Survey of participants at a specialty psychosocial transplant meeting.
  • Inquiry into views on essential psychosocial services for transplant patient care.

Main Results:

  • Broad multidisciplinary support for proactive pretransplant screening of psychosocial needs.
  • Agreement on focused pretransplant interventions to enhance candidacy and compliance.
  • Support for posttransplant programs addressing psychosocial, rehabilitation, and financial concerns.

Conclusions:

  • Psychosocial providers advocate for expanded routine screening and support services.
  • Support extends to both pre- and post-transplant phases for solid organ recipients.
  • There is consensus on the importance of comprehensive psychosocial care in transplantation.
