Among the liver transplantation, 212 recipients were included in the study, 125 (59%) were employed after liver transplantation compared with 148 (69.8%) who were employed before liver transplantation. Among the 125 recipients that returned to work, only 38.2% thought their employment states were good before liver transplantation, while 81.6% thought that their employment states were good after liver transplantation. Gender, age and employment status before transplantation, aetiology of liver disease, number of physical activities, per capita monthly income, comorbidity and depression were significantly associated with return to work. Self-efficacy, social support, liver function and nature of work were significantly associated with employment state.
