This research study is looking at anxiety in living liver donors—people who undergo surgery to donate part of their liver to help someone with severe liver disease. The study will measure your anxiety levels before your surgery and again after you recover, to understand how the donation experience affects your emotional well-being. Because living donors undergo major surgery without any direct medical benefit to themselves, researchers want to better protect donors' mental and physical health.
Most research on transplant anxiety focuses on the people receiving organs, not the donors. There is very little information about how the donation process affects donors' emotional health. This study exists to fill that gap and help doctors better support and care for living liver donors throughout their journey.

You would complete anxiety questionnaires and assessments before your scheduled liver donation surgery and again after you recover. The study team will ask you about your feelings, worries, and emotional state at these two time points to track how your anxiety changes throughout the donation process. Your participation helps doctors understand and better support future liver donors.
