Psychosocial issues and support for families of children following stem cell transplantation

The bachelor thesis deals with the support and help of families of children following stem cell transplantation. Specifically, the work is divided into theoretical and practical parts. The theoretical part contains information about the process of following transplantation, which social support can be given to families - specific financial benefits, which psychological care they can use during hospitalization and outpatient care, and how non-profit organizations support these families. The bachelor's thesis aims to find out whether the support and help from individual subjects are sufficient and corresponding to the disease. The method of questionnaire survey and the method of interviews were used to solve these questions. A questionnaire survey was conducted during outpatient care. Subsequently, interviews were conducted based on the results of a questionnaire survey with experts who help these families. Research shows that state social support is very lengthy and insufficient. Financial support is often replaced by non-profit organizations, which can provide support within a month of applying. Another finding is that many families do not know of the possibility of using psychological care, which could facilitate prolonged and difficult treatment
