Dissertation
Existential issues in pediatric bone marrow transplantation
2004
Overview
This descriptive, qualitative work provides the reader with a review of the pediatric bone marrow transplantation (BMT) literature and a case study of a teenage BMT patient and his family who were followed through their BMT experience at a cancer hospital in California. Chapter 1 is an overview of the BMT process. Chapter 2 contains a review and explanation of existential themes discussed throughout the remaining chapters. Chapter 3 is a review of the issues that arise as a patient and family members experience the pretransplant phase of BMT, including initial diagnosis, ethical considerations, informed consent, and issues related to treating minors. Chapter 4 is a review of the issues arising during the BMT treatment phase, including the coping responses of patients and family members while in the hospital and the experience and treatment of pain. Chapter 5 includes issues pertaining to post-BMT treatment. Discharge, quality of life, living with chronic illness, palliative care, terminal sedation, dying, and grief responses are reviewed. The existential themes of death, freedom, will, responsibility, isolation, meaning, and purpose are discussed in each chapter as they relate to the case study narrative and the relevant biological, psychological, sociological, and spiritual literature.
