Benefit-finding experiences of liver transplant recipients who underwent perioperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation treatment: a qualitative research

Liver transplant recipients who undergo preoperative ECMO treatment can have benefit-finding experiences. This study indicates that medical professionals should not only focus on timely and accurate treatment but also prioritize addressing patients' psychological needs while caring for critically ill individuals. Clinical medical staff can guide patients in engaging in positive psychological construction, exploring and providing effective social support resources, fostering patients' self-health management, and enhancing the level and patients' ability of benefit-finding by strengthening knowledge, education, and establishing psychological mutual assistance platforms after liver transplantation.
