Perceptions of Quality of Life among Face Transplant Recipients: A Qualitative Content Analysis

Conclusions: This study provides an insight into North American FT recipients’ experiences, values, and goals and illuminates critical aspects of QoL that are meaningful to this unique patient population, which may not be fully captured by currently available assessment tools. The themes developed in this study link facets of QoL to the overall significance of embodied selfhood among FT recipients and will help inform the future development of FT-specific patient-reported QoL outcome measures.
