For the third year in a row, http://www.aninath.com/ ANiNATH (Association of Children with Liver Transplant) makes a donation to the Functional Unit of Paediatric Hepatology and Liver Transplantation of Vall d'Hebron, through the Vall d'Hebron Research Institute (VHIR) This year it has been euros1,500.This time, the donation will go to the project "Assessment of quality of life associated with health in the paediatric liver transplant." This is a program of health education with experts in psychiatry and psychology of paediatric transplant, the figure of the nurse as case manager, Dr. Ramon Charco, head of the Service of Hepatobiliopancreatic Surgery and Transplants of Vall d'Hebron and head of the http://bit.ly/2rAeLPa Digestive Transplants group at VHIR, to which also belongs Dr. Jesús Quintero. ANiNATH association was founded in 2015 for the family of children with liver transplants and living donors, with the aim of supporting families going through a similar situation. It is not the first time that the association fulfils its objective by means of donations to the Hospital and, in this case, the donation will allow us to move forward in the evaluation of the quality of life related to health. It will be by means of a test aimed at paediatric liver transplanted patients and an intervention in the form of weekly visits with interspersed with individual and group therapy visits for patients and families. They will address issues such as bonding, the sex education of adolescents, the risk behaviours (such as alcohol and drugs), anxiety and social integration.
