Abstract
This qualitative meta-synthesis aims to explores the comprehensive experiences of lung transplant recipients covering their pre, awaiting, and post transplantation stages. This study will be conducted followed by Paterson's methodology. The literature search, selection, and reporting will be following PRISMA guidelines and qualitative appraisal will be using The Critical Appraisal Skills Programme. The paper will synthesize patients' emotional, psychological, and social challenges encounter before and after their lung transplantation surgery.
