Bone marrow transplantation (BMT), once a highly experimental procedure performed in only a handful of medical centers, has become increasingly common and is now considered to be the treatment of choice for some diseases. Although a growing number of pediatric patients undergo this life-saving procedure, psychosocial research has focused primarily on adult BMT patients. This article presents data from an exploratory study of 73 parents whose children successfully completed the transplant. The study identified the major concerns and needs of this unique population as they coped with life after a child's transplant. The results indicated that although most parents coped adequately, certain problems such as financial strains and fears of relapse remained. |
