Description
Keyao Huang is lead author of a 2026 secondary analysis, a new look at earlier interview data, on lung transplant recipients returning to work. Going back to work is a key sign of recovered quality of life after transplant, yet re-employment rates are typically poor, and patients' needs differ widely.
The authors re-analysed deep interviews with 38 recipients from a major hospital in Jiangsu Province, China, and built four user profiles. Rapid Return patients recovered well and rejoined society fast. Meandering Return patients worked but kept balancing health and job demands. Life-Centred patients chose not to work, putting health first. Conflicted and Hesitant patients wanted to work but faced physical, mental, and social barriers.
