Relationship between hope and self-esteem in renal transplant recipients.
In the transplant community great emphasis is placed on health and well-being. Because hope and self-esteem are linked with a positive health outcome, knowledge of transplantation should include an understanding of the extent to which hope is influenced by self-esteem. Few researchers have addressed the topic of hope and its impact on self-esteem; therefore, we sought to ascertain whether a relationship exists between hope and self-esteem in renal transplant recipients.
