Families of children with solid-organ transplants face a significant care burden, which negatively affects their quality of life. The burden extends beyond parents to siblings and the overall family dynamics. Health care providers should recognize and address this burden by implementing comprehensive support services tailored to the specific needs of these families. A multidisciplinary approach involving various professionals is necessary to provide effective support. Interventions such as respite care, support groups, counseling services, and educational programs can help alleviate the burden and improve the overall well-being of these families. Future research should aim to develop targeted interventions and explore the experiences of these families in more depth.
