Core Tip	Depression, anxiety, and deficiency in self-care ability are among the most important factors affecting the quality of life of liver transplant recipients. This descriptive, cross-sectional questionnaire-based study shows that presence of biliary complications and hepatocellular carcinoma, low monthly income level, and monthly visits to the outpatient clinic are factors that affect self-care capability, depression, and anxiety.
