Abstract

Kidney Transplantation offers the closest thing to a normal life for patients with end-stage renal disease who have had long waiting times. Post transplant care needs community participation which concerns many factors. The objective of this research was to study factors affecting community participation for caring kidney transplantation recipient period. We developed a questionnaire and conducted site investigations into 300 people by random sampling of the community who caring kidney transplantation recipients from eight provinces in the lower northern region of Thailand. The results showed that factors that significantly affected community participation were social support, community care, high income, government officials, and always joining with community activities. All factors together have a 63 percent power of prediction for community participation. However, this study found that high income had a negative effect on community participation.
