| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research is to clarify how hematopoietic cancer patients who receive hematopoietic stem cell transplants give meaning to the support which offered consolation to them. For this purpose, we conducted semi- structured interviews with them and analyzed their subjective experience inductively. Our analysis extracted seven categories as a consolation during the medical treatment: expectations for cure, the environment which can receive medical treatment at ease, encouragement by those around a patient, gratitude to a donor, family members' presence, having the image of recovery, and the appearance of those who have the same disease. These categories suggested the importance of not only the relief of physical pain, but also nursing which supports mental aspects of patients. They also suggested that it was necessary for us to support their attempts to reconstruct their own lives after transplantation and to find out the significance of disease by themselves.
