| Resumo: | From this ex post facto study, we analysed if symptoms of anxiety and depression of the patients varies after transplant in relation to the three main stages of the process: a) Intensive Care Unit (ICU – patient recently admitted to ICU after transplant), b) post-ICU (when a patient comes out of ICU but remains in hospital), and c) post-hospital (when a year has passed after the transplant). 39 transplant patients were assessed in three different stages: ICU, post-ICU, and post-hospital. In each stage, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was applied and, in addition, during the first stage other information was obtained (socio-demographic, medical, etc.) by way of a psychosocial survey. Patients showed more symptoms of anxiety and depression in the ICU and post-hospital stages, diminishing in the post-ICU stage. After the organ transplant, it is noticed a psychological evolution in the shape of “U”, with an increase of psychological well-being in the middle stages. |
