assessment of hand transplant candidates pre and post-transplant as well as those candidates
excluded for transplantation.
The semi-structured psychological interview describes the assessment of significant
psychosocial characteristics and it is based on the psychosocial domains of the "Transplant
Evaluation Rating Scale (TERS)" by Twillman and colleagues for evaluating organ transplant
candidates. The interview guide was developed as a tool to guide clinicians through the
interview process for hand transplant candidates. The protocol highlights issues that are
specific for reconstructive hand transplantation and give clinicians an immediate
understanding of what type of information is necessary to conduct a comprehensive
psychosocial assessment.
Additionally, the psychological assessment provides standardized psychological screening
procedures and continuous follow-up ratings by psychometrical testing. The test battery will
be performed at the time of initial psychosocial assessment, immediately after transplant, at
six and twelve months for the transplant candidates and at initial evaluation, six and twelve
months for candidates excluded for transplant.
