Overview

Solid organ transplantation is a chronic illness requiring complex medical management that impacts the family system. However, the experiences of siblings are not well described. We will explore the experiences of siblings of pediatric kidney and liver transplant recipients and how the transplant experience impacted their family, Social-Emotional Development and Family meanings. We will explore opportunities to raise the awareness of healthcare providers to provide care through a family lens that can positively impact the patient and the family.

Learning Objectives

  • Verbalize the importance of recognizing the well sibling perspective for families of pediatric solid organ transplant recipients
  • Understand the well sibling perspective of having a sibling undergo a pediatric solid organ transplant and living with a chronic illness
  • Provide strategies for the transplant team to provide care through a family lens that can positively impact the well sibling, transplant patient and the entire family
