Abstract

Stem cell transplantation (SCT) is an established treatment of many malignant and non-malignant hematological, hereditary and immunological diseases. Hematopoietic stem cells are needed for successful transplantation and can be harvested from the bone marrow as well as from the peripheral blood. This chapter presents the stages of stem cell transplant and the possible complications arising from this procedure. The stressors for the child include isolation and hallucinatory experiences, behavioral difficulties and anxiety. Maintaining a good health-related quality of life after SCT is important and research on this is discussed. The psychosocial factors of children's adjustment after BMT and the psychosocial effects on disease course and outcome are discussed.
