dc.description.abstractPurpose: This study aimed to examine post-traumatic growth, mindfulness, and quality of life in recipients after liver transplantation. Design and Methods: This study employs a descriptive and cross-sectional design. We collected data in an organ transplant center affiliated with a research and application hospital in Eastern Turkey. The sample in our study included a total of 292 liver transplant recipients. We collected data using a personal information form, the Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) Inventory, the Mindfulness Scale (MS), and the Quality of Life Questionnaire (QoL) Short Form (SF-36). We performed data analysis using descriptive statistical methods and one-way analysis of variance. Results: Of the liver transplant recipients, 72.6% were between 45 and 64 years of age, 72.3% were female, and 56.5% had undergone liver transplantation more than 1 year prior. Liver transplant recipients scored between 64.89 and 97.85 on the negative subscales. Recipients scored between 32.70 and 44.72 on the positive subscales in QoL SF-36. The PTG and MS mean scores were 62.43 ± 20.31 and 62.35 ± 7.14, respectively. There was a positive correlation between positive QoL sub-dimensions and MS and PTG (p < 0.05). Conclusions: We found a positive and strong relationship between PTG and mindfulness; in addition, we found that an increase in both had the effect of improving QoL. We recommend developing strategies that increase PTG, and that mindfulness be performed to improve QoL among patients following liver transplantation. © 2025 by the authors.
