v Heart disease is the second leading cause of death in Hong Kong following malignant neoplasm. Heart transplant has become an established method of treatment for patients with terminal heart failure. v Research has demonstrated that waiting for heart transplant surgery can lead to physical and psychosocial deterioration. v Using a phenomenological approach informed by the ideas of Husserl, this study explored the lived experience of Hong Kong Chinese male adult heart transplant candidates. Six informants were interviewed either at home or in the hospital. v The results revealed four themes: enduring the wait; preserving self while waiting; making sense of waiting; and believing in yuan (fate or superpower). The themes were closely interwoven into one tapestry of enduring the waiting. v Patients employed the internal forces of enduring the wait, preserving self and making sense of waiting, while employing the external force that pushed the patients to believe in yuan.
