Assessment of psychosocial factors and predictors of psychopathology in a sample of heart transplantation recipients: A prospective 12-month follow-up

In the last decades, researchers of heart transplantation (HT) programs have attempted to identify the existence of psychosocial factors that might influence the clinical outcome before and after the transplantation. The first objective of this study is the prospective description of changes in psychiatric and psychosocial factors in a sample of HT recipients, through a 12-month follow-up. The second goal is to identify predictors of psychopathology one year after HT.
