Abstract
The aim of this qualitative study was to analyze psychological concerns in wait-listed patients
T1 and six months after transplantation T2. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and
qualitative analysis performed. T1 Kidney patients maintained apparent normality, building
emotional protection, and a fatalist attitude. Liver patients set physical limits, reevaluation of
life values was reported. Lung patients developed physical and psychological self-protection.
Modified life values, fatalism and spirituality were mentioned. Heart patients husbanded
ressources and self-protection. Modified life values, fatalist attitude were reported. T2 Kidney
patients described new life perspectives and increase of empathy. Liver patients underlined
positive identity and life values modifications. Lack of respect of life values generated anger.
Heart and lung patients set their existential priorities and underlined increase in spirituality,
greater openness and more closeness to significant ones. Lack of respect of human values
induced negative feelings. TX comes with physical benefits, but also with positive existential
values transformations and a humanistic, altruistic attitude.
