Emotional distress on the interdisciplinary health team of hematopoietic stem cells transplantation- an integrative review

Abstract

Model: Integrative review of publications with descriptive model.

Study objective: This study aim to identify and analyze articles concerning the impact of routine transplantation on the mental health of the bone marrow transplantation interdisciplinary team.

Methodology: The databases used were LILACS, EMBASE, Medline, and ProQuest, besides Portal UNIFESP and Publisher Atheneu. Articles were searched in English, Portuguese and Spanish, without limit publication date, and whose focus was the health professional.

Results: It was observed there is a gap in the scientific literature regarding this bias, since most of the studies focuses on the development of the technical´s aspects, both of the procedure, as of the team that performs the transplant, at the expense of attention to the psychological factors that underlie health
professional´s praxis.

Conclusions: These findings, although scarce, confirm the initial hypothesis that there is a psychological distress in HSCT´s team and signal the gap in the researched area. It proposes a discussion with several theoretical frameworks, to try to understand what underlies this issue.
