Abstract
- This study was aimed to explore the relationship between the type of family system and the self-concept of kidney-transplantation recipients. 190 recipients were sampled from 3 general hospitals in Seoul and Kunggi-area, KOREA. Family Cohesion and Adaptability Evaluation Scale III (Olson et al., 1985) of the Circumplex Model (Olson et al., 1983) and Self-concept Test (Jeong, Won Sik, 1968) were used to collect the data. The data collected was analyses by the t-Test and ANOVA. It was found that there were no differences on recipients' self-concepts by types of family systems. But there were differences in recipients' self-concepts by family cohesion and adaptability levels. That is, the higher level of cohesion and adaptability, the higher the recipients' self-concepts. The type of family system and recipients' self-concept are related. So the recipients and the family of recipients must be included in subjects of medical and nursing care.
