Resumo

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a complex and intensive procedure for which its acute phase can last several weeks and involves high toxicity, prolonged isolation, and a range of debilitating side effects (e.g., fatigue, nausea) (Frödin, Börjeson, Lyth, & Lotfi, 2010; Gooley et al., 2010; Mosher et al., 2009). Patients report an overwhelming experience and loss of agency, describing the procedure as a "walk to hell and back" and "really, really hard" (Xuereb & Dunlop, 2003, p. 404).
