Abstract

Objective: To investigate the suffering of healthcare professionals who work in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in children and adolescents.

Method: Qualitative study, inspired by Convergent Care Research, carried out in a transplant unit of a hospital in southern Brazil. Ten professionals from the interdisciplinary team, intentionally selected, participated. The information was collected between May and August 2023, using the Sensitive Creative Method through the "tree of knowledge" dynamic, consisting of four meetings with two to three participants. Initially, the professionals reflected and shared emotional experiences related to work. Afterwards, they discussed the essential characteristics of those who care for children and adolescents undergoing bone marrow transplants, through collective artistic production. The analysis was guided by the perspective of quality of work life.

Results: Emotions such as sadness and hopelessness emerged, indicating the presence of compassion fatigue. Two thematic axes were identified: quality of work life, empathy, compassion, and compassion fatigue; and being a professional in the context of transplants.

Conclusion: Worker suffering is aggravated by the lack of institutional support. Even so, the care provided is supported by empathy and compassion, revealing efforts by professionals to reframe challenging experiences.

儿童和青少年造血干细胞移植：跨学科团队的痛苦经历。

目的：了解从事儿童和青少年造血干细胞移植的医护人员的痛苦情况。方法：定性研究，受到融合护理研究的启发，在巴西南部一家医院的移植单位进行。有意从跨学科团队中挑选出10名专业人士参加。这些信息是在2023年5月至8月期间通过“知识树”动态使用敏感创造性方法收集的，包括四次由两到三名参与者组成的会议。最初，专业人士反映和分享与工作有关的情感经历。随后，他们通过集体的艺术创作，探讨了儿童和青少年骨髓移植护理人员的本质特征。分析以工作生活质量的角度为指导。结果：出现了悲伤、绝望等情绪，表明同情疲劳的存在。确定了两个主题轴：工作生活质量、共情、同情和同情疲劳；作为一名专业的移植医生。结论：缺乏制度支持加剧了工人的痛苦。即便如此，所提供的护理得到了同情和同情的支持，这显示出专业人士在重塑具有挑战性的经历方面所做的努力。
