This study investigates the experiences of African patients who have undergone a kidney transplant within the past ten years, either from a live donor or from a cadaver. The study further examines how these patients made (and still make) sense of the transplant experience, and hence attribute a particular subjective meaning to the factors and variables which have been at play during the course of the transplant. Little is known about kidney transplantation among African patients, in particular about psychological and social responses to the process. Hospital staff often find it difficult to break through communication barriers that exist as a result of language differences. Several studies have found that the medical discourse (as opposed to the lay person's discourse) has contributed to the lack of understanding on the side of the patient. 2015-07-14T08:56:52Z 2015-07-14T08:56:52Z 1997 Master Thesis Masters MSocSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/13493 eng application/pdf Department of Psychology Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
