Supporting Reproductive Care for Patients Requiring Solid Organ Transplant
Abstract:
After a solid organ transplant, individuals have the capability to maintain a successful pregnancy. However, many posttransplant pregnancies are unintended, thereby posing risks to health. There is a critical need to strengthen patient education regarding safe approaches to conception, general reproductive health, and childbearing capabilities. The complex needs of patients after transplant, including management of graft health and medication regimens, may distract from the usual reproductive care offered to other individuals of childbearing potential. Thorough education about immunosuppressant medications, contraceptive methods, and expected waiting periods before conceiving are essential. Nurses can work with each individual and direct the interprofessional health care team to provide effective, safe, comprehensive, and inclusive reproductive care to patients posttransplant.
