Abstract: 【Abstract】Objective To understand the status of disaster preparedness of kidney transplant patients, and to provide reference for the formulation of relevant interventions. Methods A disaster questionnaire for kidney transplantation was used to investigate 222 kidney transplantation patients in West China Hospital of Sichuan University. An online questionnaire was used to collect data through the "questionnaire star". Results Among the 222 kidney transplant patients, 118(53.20%) had low disaster preparedness, 93 (41.90%) had moderate disaster preparedness, and 11(5.00%) had high disaster preparedness. There were differences among
patients of different ages, genders, educational levels and occupations. Patients' ages (r=-0.417, P＜0.001), educational levels (r= -0.351, P＜0.001)and occupations (r=- 0.355,P＜0.001) were negatively correlated with patients' preparedness behaviors, while patients' genders (r=0.288,P＜0.001) were positively correlated with patients' preparedness behaviors. Conclusion The disaster preparedness of kidney transplant patients is in the low level. It is recommended to carry out disaster preparedness training for kidney transplant patients to improve their disaster preparedness.
