Psychosocial care in pediatric lung transplantation

Psychosocial care in pediatric lung transplantation involves supporting the emotional, social, and mental health needs of young patients and their families throughout the transplantation process. This care addresses challenges like anxiety, depression, and adjustment to a new lifestyle post-surgery. It includes counseling, education about the transplantation process, and assistance with coping strategies. Parents and siblings are also supported to help the whole family navigate the emotional impact of the illness and recovery. Overall, psychosocial care aims to enhance well-being, promote resilience, and facilitate successful adaptation to the changes brought by the transplant journey.
