dc.description.abstractThere is almost no information about the role of perceived social support, one of the main variables facilitating posttraumatic growth, in liver transplant. For this reason, the issue requires further clarity. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between perceived social support and posttraumatic growth in individuals receiving liver transplants. Method This cross-sectional study was carried out with liver transplant recipients at a hospital in eastern Turkey (N?=?117). The data collection instruments included a Descriptive Characteristics Form, the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and hierarchical linear regression analysis. Results It was revealed that the participants had high levels of posttraumatic growth (73.05?±?16.82) and perceived social support (67.75?±?14.33). A moderate and positive relationship was determined between the mean perceived social support total score and the mean posttraumatic growth total score of the participants (p?<?0 0.01). Perceived social support explained 25.6% of the variance in posttraumatic growth (F?=?39.600; p?<?0.05; Adjusted R2 = 0.256), while perceived social support together with primary school-level education and low economic status explained 32.3% of the variance in posttraumatic growth (F?=?17.954; p?<?0.05; Adjusted R2= 0.323). Conclusion The results on perceived social support revealed that liver transplant recipients had a subjective feeling of being understood, respected and supported by their families more than friends and significant other in a social environment. This study showed that high perceived social support contributes to posttraumatic growth in liver transplant recipients. Apart from perceived social support, other factors affecting posttraumatic growth included individuals' perceptions of their education level and economic situation.en_US
