dc.description.abstractObjective: This study was conducted to investigate the effect of social support on psychological resilience in liver transplant patients receiving immunosuppression therapy. Method: This study was carried out as a descriptive and cross-sectional study with the participation of 290 liver transplant patients hospitalized in the liver transplant center of a research and application hospital. Personal Information Form, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) and Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) were used in data collection. The data analysis was performed with IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences Statistics 25. Results: According to the data obtained, it was determined that 30.4% of the patients were 58 years old and over, 81% of them were male and 92.8% of them were married. It was found that all of the patients used antimetabolites and corticosteroids, and 82.8% of them used calcineurin inhibitors. It was determined that 32.8% of the patients experienced infection, neuropsychiatric problems and nephrotoxicity at the same time. The psychological resilience of the patients was found to be moderate, and their perceived social support was found to be low. Conclusion: It is not always possible for liver transplant patients to deal with their situation effectively. The psychological resilience and social support levels of patients who have undergone liver transplantation should be noticed, and social, economic and psychological support should be provided.
