[Psychological aspects of bone marrow marrow transplantation]

Bone marrow transplantation is connected with many psychological problems of the patient determined mainly by the procedure itself. In individual phases of bone marrow transplantation (qualification of patients for operation, peritransplantation and post-transplantation periods, and final phase) different disturbances and difficulties are seen. Own observations as well as the literature data indicate the need of full diagnosis and psychotherapy, and sometimes even of psychiatric intervention during that method of treatment.
