Quality of life of adults after a heart transplant.
This study describes the quality of life of adults after a heart transplant. Based on Chrisman and Fowler's systems-in-change model, 22 subjects were interviewed using the McMaster Health Index Questionnaire and the Cantril Self-Anchoring Scale. The greatest improvement in quality of life of these subjects was in physical function but benefit was also noted in social and emotional function, with overall quality of life being excellent.
