Abstract
Pediatric organ transplantation, a critical intervention for children with end-stage organ failure, significantly impacts family dynamics and places a substantial burden on caregivers. This review examines the effects of pediatric organ transplantation on family care burden, presenting global statistical data and exploring the multifaceted challenges faced by
caregivers. It also discusses strategies to mitigate these burdens and the crucial role of nurses in supporting families throughout the transplantation process. Understanding and addressing caregiver burden is essential to improving both patient and family outcomes. The review concludes with a call for comprehensive, interdisciplinary approaches to support
caregivers and optimize pediatric transplantation outcomes.
