Toward a model for quality assessment in heart transplantation.
A model for quality assessment of heart transplantation that combines a scientific method for studying the recipients' quality of life and a basis for a method of clinical work by nurses and other health care professionals is discussed. Besides its use as a research method, this model also may serve as an instrument for documenting patients' biopsychosocial status, including coping capacity, and for evaluating nursing interventions.
