The lived experience of autologous stem cell-transplanted patients: Post-transplantation and before discharge.

Aims And Objectives: To explore the lived experience of the patients post-haematopoietic stem cell transplantation and specifically after engraftment and before discharge.

Background: Patients post-stem cell transplantation experience significant changes in all life aspects. Previous studies carried out by other researchers focused mainly on the postdischarge experience, where patients reported their perceptions that have always been affected by the life post-transplantation and influenced by their surroundings.
