Year: 2005
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Oncologists specializing in bone marrow transplantation (BMT) make decisions about who is an appropriate medical candidate for an allogeneic BMT based on clinical criteria. It is not clear how and if decisions are made as to whether a patient is an appropriate candidate based on psychosocial criteria. Although setting limits based on such criteria has been researched in solid organ transplantation, this is not the case in BMT. Presented will be results from survey research comparing responses of BMT physicians, social workers, and nurses regarding acceptability of select psychosocial screening criteria in allogeneic BMT.
