Abstract
To investigate the social participation (SP) of renal transplantation (RT) recipients and analyze the influencing factors. Cross-sectional study. Data were collected from RT recipients reviewed within the Urology Outpatient Clinic of a tertiary class-A hospital in Hebei, China between October 2018 and October 2019. The total mean score of an SP questionnaire for RT recipients was 37.77 ± 2.74. The mean score per item in each dimension showed that the scores for leisure, activity, and voluntary participation in social life were the highest, indicating low participation. Educational level, household income, occupation, preoperative employment, creatinine level in the transplanted kidney, medication compliance, depression, and anxiety could explain 77% of the variation in the SP level. There are many factors affecting the SP levels of RT recipients. Clinicians should comprehensively evaluate RT recipients before and after surgery, formulate health education programs, and improve the SP level.
