Abstract

|
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the influencing factors on anxiety of patients who had received hemopoietic stem cell transplantation(HSCT).
Method: A total of 81 patients who had undergone a HSCT at a university hospital were recruited from July of 2001 to June of 2002. They were asked to complete questionnaires about anxiety, selfesteem, family support, doctor’s support and nurse’s support.
Result: The mean score of anxiety, self-esteem, family support, doctor’s support and nurse’s support was 41.9, 3.0, 4.6, 7.6 and 7.3, respectively. A significant negative correlation was found between anxiety and self-esteem. Self-esteem was positively correlated with family support, doctor’s support and nurse’s support. The major variable that influenced anxiety was the self-esteem, explaining 25.4% of the anxiety.
Conclusion: On the basis of these results, it is necessary for HSCT patients to develop a nursing intervention for the enhancement of self esteem. Also, family support, doctor’s support and nurse’s support should be considered as a main support system in the nursing strategy for improving the quality of life of patients undergone HSCT.
