The role of attachment and parental bonding in the psychosocial assessment of transplant candidates: a cross-sectional study
These findings highlight that in the evaluation of kidney transplant candidates, greater attention should be paid to parental bonding, adult attachment, and psychopathological symptoms, as these factors may play a key role as protective or risk factors for post-transplant issues. A timely assessment of these constructs may improve the evaluation of psychosocial suitability for transplantation, as well as allow the provision of targeted psychotherapeutic interventions to enhance the acceptance and management of illness in patients awaiting kidney transplants.
