Exploring Early Symptom Experiences and Self-Management Strategies Among Postoperative Kidney Transplant Patients on Symptom Management Theory: A Qualitative Study

This study indicates that kidney transplant patients exhibit various symptoms and reactions in the early postoperative period and these reactions change irregularly. This also emphasizes the importance for clinical nursing researchers to dynamically assess the postoperative symptom reactions of kidney transplant patients. Based on the results of this study, clinical nurses can guide kidney transplant patients to adopt correct and positive coping strategies to manage their symptoms, establish an optimistic psychological state and perception of the disease, and by improving the internal and external influencing factors of symptom management, strengthen the relevant health education training for patients after surgery.
