Clinical setting
The data used in this study were collected in the context of a randomized controlled trial, which included an intervention group that used a SMSS during the first year post-transplantation and a control group that received usual care, which did not include self-management. The general aim of the randomised controlled trial was to investigate whether part of the post-transplantation care can be transferred to a home setting using a SMSS without compromising on the quality of care.
The study presented in this paper focuses on a survey completed by the intervention group only. The survey included a questionnaire that participants completed at the start and after four months into the trial.
