Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess whether health locus of control beliefs measured pre-transplant predicted survival after lung transplant. Participants were 100 patients who completed the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control scale before and after transplant. Cox proportional hazards regressions were used to investigate the relationship between each of the three subscales (IHLC, PHLC, CHLC) and survival time after transplant. After adjusting for age and medical diagnosis, participants with medium and high levels of IHLC had lower hazard ratios than those with low IHLC. Neither PHLC nor CHLC exhibited statistical differences in survival. Compared to patients with low IHLC, patients with medium and high levels of IHLC lived longer after lung transplant.
