About this study
The purpose of this study is to measure uncertainty using the Mishel Uncertainty in Illness (MUIS) questionnaire (every 12 months) until 3 months posttransplant to explore the relationship of uncertainty and uncertainty subcategories (ambiguity, unpredictability prognosis, unpredictability symptoms, complexity) to important posttransplant outcomes (well-being, length of stay, and mortality).
