骨髓移植治療為病患點燃希望也帶來威脅與傷害;居家期間更面臨許多自我照顧與身心調適的問題。有關骨髓移植的研究,到目前為止大多著重移植技術的改進、合併症的處理、身心的影響、生活品質…等,國外有關骨髓移植病患在居家照顧的認知、需求、滿意度方面的研究相當少見,國內的文獻探討更是缺乏。本研究目的在探討骨髓移植病患對居家照顧的認知、需求、滿意度與情緒反應;研究採描述性調查法,收集某一級醫學中心接受骨髓移植出院之40位個案;以居家照顧認知、需求、滿意度與焦應、憂鬱情緒量表進行資料收集。研究結果發現,病患對居家照顧的認知整體偏低,對疾病的調適與居家照顧,呈現出高度需求與低度滿意之現況,病人也感受到相當強度的焦應與憂鬱情緒。職業、教育與社經地位影響病患的認知;宗教信仰影響個人居家照顧的需求與滿意度;性別與社經地位則影響病患居家照顧時的情緒感受。本研究結果,有助於了解骨髓移植病患對居家照顧的認知與需求,以提供出院衛教之參考,進而延展骨髓移植病患持續性醫療照顧之觸角。
