Long waiting times on dialysis can be avoided and short and long\u2010term outcomes are better, when compared with deceased donor transplantation. Living kidney donation is a safe procedure for healthy individuals who have completed a rigorous screening programme. Significant experiences can occur during the recovery period.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title><jats:p>To investigate donors\u2019 experiences of donation and their recovery period, in the first three months after donation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Materials and Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study took a phenomenological\u2010hermeneutic approach. Open interviews were conducted three months after donation. Data were interpreted and discussed in accordance with Ricoeur's text interpretation theory on three levels: na\u00efve reading, structural analysis and critical interpretation and discussion.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>The donation process was experienced as an \u2018expedition\u2019, including preparations, the operation, recovery and everyday life. Positive feelings were challenging to describe; however health troubles and vulnerability were evident. A closer relationship and a need to follow the recipient's progress implied that patient and donor felt they were a part of each other. Support from relatives was important but could also be a burden.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The kidney donation process is experienced as being like on an expedition, involving positive feelings, vulnerability, a closer patient\u2013donor relationship and challenges around family relationships. It is essential that nurses are aware of the complexity of the situation and focus on the impact of the process, to support and facilitate donors' needs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jorc.12137","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,10,14]],"date-time":"2015-10-14T09:12:06Z","timestamp":1444813926000},"page":"43-52","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["From donation to everyday life: Living kidney donors\u2019 experiences three months after donation"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"42","author":[{"given":"Hanne","family":"Agerskov","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Unit of Nursing University of Southern Denmark Department of Nephrology Odense University Hospital Odense Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mette Spliid","family":"Ludvigsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Research Unit Randers Regional Hospital Randers Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Claus","family":"Bistrup","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nephrology Odense University Hospital Odense Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Birthe D.","family":"Pedersen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Unit of Nursing University of Southern Denmark Funen Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,10,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jorc.12071"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jocn.12776"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1399-0012.2004.00304.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jorc.12113"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4045\/tidsskr.10.1403"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-6143.2006.01567.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1440-1800.2009.00433.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00007890-200005270-00016"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.transproceed.2008.02.036"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.transproceed.2010.12.029"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijnurstu.2008.03.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ajt.12434"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ctr.12390"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ajt.12906"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_16_1","volume-title":"InterViews: learning the Craft of Qualitative Research Interviewing","author":"Kvale S.","year":"2008"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.transproceed.2009.06.122"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1755-6686.2012.00320.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/TP.0b013e318253f1bc"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1471-6712.2004.00258.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.transproceed.2010.12.028"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/TP.0000000000000340"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_23_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-6143.2010.03115.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_24_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.transproceed.2005.03.110"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_25_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/TP.0b013e3181bb44fd"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_26_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/ki.2013.460"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_27_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/104973239300300301"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_28_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2013.285141"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_29_1","volume-title":"Caring: a feminine approach to ethics and moral education","author":"Noddings N.","year":"1984"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_30_1","unstructured":"PedersenB.D.(1999).
