- Abstract
Background: The implementation of nursing therapeutics adjusted to the actual needs of liver transplant recipients can have a significant impact on transplantation outcomes since, after transplantation, patients are encouraged to change the way in which they manage their therapeutic regimen towards success. Objective: To identify the nursing foci and the interventions implemented to address the healthcare needs of liver transplant recipients. Methodology: Qualitative, retrospective study conducted at a transplant center, using descriptive statistics to analyze nursing records between July 2010 and September 2014. Results: The most common nursing focus was susceptibility to infection (67.30%) with the implementation of interventions related primarily to the teaching action type. Most of the interventions (57.07%) were related to the observing action type. Conclusion: The follow-up of liver transplant recipients focuses essentially on bodily processes and the monitoring of signs and symptoms of disease complications.
