“…A recent study has suggested promotion of self-efficacy and self-care behaviors for depressive symptoms of KTRs [42]. One of the self-care behaviors could be in maintaining healthy dietary habits and lifestyle changes in order to reduce body weight and change the body composition by enhancing muscle mass and reducing fat mass.…”

Depression has been addressed as a predictor of worse outcomes in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). Nutritional status plays a great role in treatment of this population. The Mediterranean diet (MeDi) has been associated with lower levels of depressive symptoms. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to determine the rate of depression and its correlations to nutritional status and dietary habits according to the MeDi in Dalmatian KTRs. We included 115 KTRs, and data about body composition and anthropometric, laboratory and clinical parameters were obtained for each study participant. The Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) questionnaire was used to assess depressive symptoms and the Mediterranean Diet Serving Score (MDSS) was used to assess adherence to the MeDi. We found the presence of depressive symptoms in 21.73% of the Dalmatian KTRs. BDI-II score was reciprocally associated with fat mass, trunk visceral fat, anthropometric parameters of obesity, triglyceride levels and olive oil consumption. Inverse associations were found between BDI-II score and skeletal muscle mass, handgrip strength, MCV, hemoglobin levels and consumption of fish and white meat, as suggested by the MeDi. Our results showed the interconnections between nutritional status, dietary habits and depression in Dalmatian KTRs.

IntroductionThe Transplant Effects Questionnaire (TxEQ) assesses specific recipients’ reactions to receiving a transplanted organ, including worry about the transplant, Guilt regarding the donor, disclosure of having undergone transplantation, adherence to medical treatment, and responsibility to the donor, family, or medical staff. Poland has no standardized tool for evaluating the emotional reaction to transplantation. The study aimed to assess the basic psychometric properties, such as the reliability and validity of the Polish translation of TxEQ-PL.Materials and methodsThe study involved 84 patients after kidney transplantation. The average age of the subjects was 49.87 years (±15.27). The study used the diagnostic survey method, the Polish versions of the Revised Life Orientation Test (LOTR-R), the Mental Component Summary of the SF-36 (SF-36-MCS), and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). The Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was used to verify the factor structure of TxEQ -P.L. variables.ResultsThe TxEQ-PL version has satisfactory internal consistency for each subscale (Cronbach’s alpha > 0.7). The analysis showed a significant negative relationship between optimism (LOT-R) and the TxEQ-PL subscales: worry about transplant and disclosure of having undergone transplantation and a positive relationship in the subscale of adherence to medical treatment. In addition, a significant negative relationship was found between the subscale: adherence to medical treatment and the severity of depression and intensity of anxiety (HADS); also, a positive relationship with the Mental Component Summary of the SF-36 (SF-36-MCS). The intensity of anxiety and severity of depression were positively related to the TxEQ-PL subscale of disclosure of having undergone transplantation and negatively associated with the Mental Component Summary of the SF-36 (SF-36-MCS). The Confirmatory Factor Analysis confirmed the five-factor structure of the TXEQ-PL questionnaire (RMSEA = 0.083). Not the best fit is indicated by the value of comparative fit indexCFI = 0.813 and SRMR = 0.10. The result of the chi-squared test (220) = 340 was statistically significant; p < 0.001.ConclusionTxEQ-PL is useful for assessing emotional reactions to organ transplantation. The tool has a factor structure identical to the original English version and comparable psychometric properties.
