Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the risk factors affecting psychosocial outcomes of living liver donors after liver transplantations. Methods: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of living liver donors followed by 2 liver transplantation centers in 2 private hospitals in 2 different provinces, between August 2017 and October 2019. All the living liver donors were contacted without a time frame after donation and all the participants were evaluated once. The Beck Depression Scale, SF-36, General Self-Efficacy Scale, and Perceived Available Support Scale were used to collect data. The t-test, Kruskal-Wallis test, Mann-Whitney U-test, and Pearson correlation analysis were used for data analysis. Results: The mean age of the patients was 34.31 +/- 8.22 years. There was a positive, weak correlation between age and physical function. Gender, marital status, financial status, and education levels significantly affected physical components, social function, vitality, depression, and self-efficacy scores. High depression levels negatively affected the physical component, self-efficacy, and social support scores of the living liver donors. High self-efficacy positively affected social support. Conclusion: The study revealed that gender, marital status, employment status, and education levels were associated with psychosocial outcomes. The financial status was the main factor affecting each psychosocial variable. Financial status needs to be assessed in detail before and after the operation.

Objectives: This study aimed to translate BAASIS (Basel Assessment of Adherence to Immunosuppressive Medication Scale) into Turkish and to test the psychometric properties of the translated Turkish version of the instrument. Materials and Methods: In this single-center crosssectional study, we included 100 kidney transplant recipients in a university hospital in a western city of Turkiye. The Translation and Cultural Adaptation Report from Professional Society for Health Economics and Outcomes Research was used for the transcultural adaptation of BAASIS to Turkish. We tested the validity of the BAASIS Turkish version by the level of evidence according to the American Educational Research Association guidelines: content validity, internal structure, and relations to other variables. We calculated item-total correlations of the BAASIS Turkish version to examine internal consistency reliability. Results: The content validity index score of BAASIS was calculated as 1.00, indicating agreement between the experts. Exploratory factor analysis evaluated the internal structure of BAASIS, and the coefficients for inter-item correlations ranged from 0.170 to 0.395. The Immunosuppressive Treatment Adherence Scale and the BAASIS nonadherent scores were significantly correlated (r = 0.673, P < .001). The coefficients for item-total correlation analyses ranged from 0.160 to 0.470. Conclusions: The BAASIS Turkish version has acceptable psychometric properties. The scale can be used in clinical practice and research projects in transplantation to assess immunosuppressive medication adherence.
