Psychological interventions on primary care healthcare providers of patients with hematopoietic cells transplantation: Descriptive revision
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: Being an informal primary healthcare provider of a patient who undergoes hematopoietic progeny cells transplantation can have adverse consequences on mental health and the quality of life.
Objective: To describe the available psychological interventions for the primary healthcare provider of patients undergoing hematopoietic cells transplantations.
Methodology: A systematized search of the last 10 years using the MeSH terms psychotherapy AND caregiver AND stem cell transplantation was conducted on the main medical and psychological databases. The analysis strategy followed the PICO scheme (Problem, Intervention, Comparison, Outcomes).
Results: 122 articles were identified, and 10 of them fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The interventions were related to nursing or social work professionals. 50% described patient-healthcare provider dyads with short interventions focused on the post-transplantation period.
Discussion: According to what has been observed in the publications and due to its positive impact on mental health, the implementation of psychological interventions is recommended in caregivers of patients who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
Conclusion: The psychological support provided to the caregiver comes mainly from health professionals who do not belong to the area of psychology, with favorable clinical results in the most critical periods for their mental state.
