    Abstract [en]

    A kidney transplant is a major procedure and a big adjustment for the patient both physically and psychologically. The aim of the study was to understand and describe the patients’ experiences and feelings in relation to the kidney transplant. This empirical study was had a qualitative descriptive approach and includes semi-structured interviews with eight kidney transplant recipients. The data was analysed according to Burnards contents analysis and resulted in three main categories: Emotional management, life with a new kidney and the experience of the health care. The result showed that a kidney transplant results in a feeling of freedom, but is also followed by a down period. The patients feel a sense of responsibility for the new organ and express concern for rejection. The nurses have, through their supporting role helped the patient feel secure which in turn has shown to be important in relation to the patients recovery. The participants in this study have shown to cope with their disease in varying ways and this has been interpreted using Lazarus & Folkmans (1984) coping strategies.
