Abstract 123: Attitudes and Availability of Palliative Care Within Institutions Providing Mechanical Circulatory Support Device Implantation: A National Survey Session Title: Abstract Poster Session I and Reception
Conclusion: Although selection/respondent bias is an important limitation of these results, these respondents agreed with and reported enacting ISHLT and CMS recommendations for including PC in MCSD evaluation. Nevertheless, there was less consensus on clinicians’ roles and confidence levels with providing PC following MCSD implantation and at end-of-life versus during the pre-implantation period.Clinical Implications: Findings from this survey can enable cardiovascular clinicians to evaluate how PC involvement impacts care for patients with MCSD; however, metrics to evaluate patient and system outcomes are yet to be...

Smell Dating: Love In the Stenches
Researchers believe that our unique bodily scent plays a larger role in our social lives than we know. Now, social media entrepreneurs are putting that science to the test. Can you sniff your way to love? Everyone knows that to find true love, you have to be yourself. I’d never heard that you should also smell like yourself, though, until I joined a matchmaking service called Smell Dating. For three days and nights I wore the same cotton T-shirt, through sweaty workouts and while I slept. Showers were allowed. Deodorant was not. After 72 hours, the cotton was pickled in my essence. I passed off the damp, stained tee ...

Bereaved relatives' decision about deceased organ donation: An integrated psycho-social study conducted in Spain
Conclusions Understanding of family decisions underlying organ donation may greatly benefit from a more complex, integrated, and theoretically based approach. Educational efforts should stress the need to register or simply communicate own willingness to donate organs. However, an adequate training and performance of the health-staff involved in the organ donation process may generate substantive differences in consent rates.

Changes in Mothers' Basic Beliefs Following a Child's Bone Marrow Transplantation: The Role of Prior Trauma and Negative Life Events
Abstract This longitudinal study examined the relation between life stress and basic beliefs about self-worth and the benevolence and meaningfulness of the world among mothers of children undergoing bone marrow transplantation (BMT).

Prior trauma and recent negative events were associated with basic beliefs during hospitalization and also with changes in basic beliefs in the subsequent year, with distress mediating some of these relations. Findings also demonstrated relations between basic beliefs and physica...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the views and attitudes of nurses about ethical and cultural issues related to transplantation. This descriptive study was conducted on 220 nurses who worked in a university hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. Data were collected usi...
