In addition to physical symptoms, ESLD is associated with emotional and social sources of distress such as depression, anxiety, fear of dying, financial concerns, and regular need for relocation. A transplant can significantly affect the recipients\u2019 life domains, from physical and emotional well\u2010being to social relationships and roles.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study aims to assess the quality of life of adult lung transplant recipients in Saudi Arabia.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>A cross\u2010sectional quantitative design was employed using the self\u2010administered World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL\u2010BREF) questionnaire, a sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire, and a medical chart review. The study was conducted in a tertiary care center in Saudi Arabia.

Males accounted for 61.1%, and most participants were married (63.7%). About half (44.6%) had at least one comorbidity outside ESLD. Only 26.7% were working post\u2010transplant. Overall, the data strongly suggests that as individuals adjust and recover post\u2010transplant, they tend to feel increasingly positive with time.
