Article in “Revue médical suisse”: Psychological distress is common in patients after solid organ transplantation and often motivates psychological and psychiatric consultations. Due to its clinical and economic potential, the CHUV has been offering a group therapy for solid organ transplant recipients since 2022.
Patients use the sessions to talk about their feelings of stigmatization or fear of contamination, but also about their need for a balance between overstepping some limits and ­ rigorous discipline regarding medication intake and precautions to be taken. They talk about issues they usually do not discuss with the various health professionals who follow them. The group therapy thus contributes to their empowerment and helps them to take responsibility in their life and medical follow‑­up.
