An overview of psychosocial assessment procedures in reconstructive hand transplantation

Abstract: SummaryThere have been more than 90 hand and upper extremity transplants performed worldwide. Functional and sensory outcomes have been reported in several studies, but little is known about the psychosocial outcomes. A comprehensive systematic literature review was performed, addressing the psychosocial impact of reconstructive hand transplantation. This review provides an overview of psychosocial evaluation protocols and identifies standards in this novel and exciting field. Essentials of the psychosocial as… Show more

“…This problem has been well documented in the pediatric solid organ transplant literature, especially in adolescents . In the adult VCA literature, non‐compliance with immunosuppression has been demonstrated to be the greatest risk factor for graft loss . In order to mitigate this issue, strong family/parental support and understanding should be essential criteria when screening children for CVA.…”

“…6 Currently, there are no psychosocial instruments designed specifically for use in this unique population. 6,10,11,12,13 In consequence, a variety of PSE protocols are used by individual transplant centers (see Supplementary Appendix). Standardized collection of subjective QoL outcomes data would likely increase confidence in research findings on factors predictive of improved QoL.…”

“…30 The poor quality of QoL outcomes reporting in the first 2 decades of HTx and VCA experimentation has been remarked on by health care policy and behavioral health researchers and HTx practitioners. 17,19,31 Martin Kumnig and colleagues wrote in a 2014 review paper:…”

“…The majority of articles do not address the psychosocial assessment in any greater than passing detail, so the conclusion that can be made from these highly descriptive, mostly empiric studies in the current literature is limited. 31 According to United Kingdom hand transplant surgeons Simon Kay and Daniel Wilks, "Of the large number of [hand and face] transplants completed now, outcome data of value is to be found in few." 32…”
