摘要

目的:最近的治疗进展提高了血液系统恶性肿瘤患者的生存率,使造血干细胞移植(HSCT)成为关键的治疗选择。然而,尽管不断努力提高认识,骨髓捐赠者登记的数量并没有随着时间的推移而显著增加,这可能是由于最近传染病爆发的影响。这可能会影响到需要同种异体造血干细胞移植的患者。本研究探讨了青少年和青壮年(AYA)骨髓捐赠者的经历。患者和方法:采用定性描述性研究设计,我们对6名有过骨髓捐赠经历的AYA个体进行了半结构化访谈。该研究得到了机构伦理委员会(022-03)的批准,没有披露任何利益冲突。结果:在本分析中确定了7类和23个亚类。参与者表示,作为捐赠者,他们有强烈的责任感,但也面临着一些挑战,比如家庭的反对、雇主的不理解,以及担心对工作和家庭生活的影响。尽管有这些困难,捐赠者经常通过捐赠经历个人成长和成就感。结论:护士应该认识到AYA骨髓捐赠者是一个需要支持的人群,并考虑提高这一关键人口群体的认识和登记的策略。

Bone marrow donors: experience among adolescents and young adults.

Objective: Recent treatment advancements have improved the survival rates of patients with hematological malignancies, making hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) a key curative option. However, despite ongoing awareness efforts, the number of bone marrow donor registrations has not significantly increased over time, possibly because of the impact of recent infectious disease outbreaks. This may affect patients requiring allogeneic HSCT. This study explored the experiences of adolescent and young adult (AYA) bone marrow donors.

Patient and methods: Using a qualitative descriptive research design, we conducted semi-structured interviews with six AYA individuals who had experience as bone marrow donors. The study was approved by the institutional ethics committee (022-03), and no conflicts of interest were disclosed.

Results: Seven categories and 23 subcategories were identified in this analysis. Participants reported a strong sense of duty as donors, but faced challenges such as family opposition, lack of understanding from employers, and concerns about the impact on work and family life. Despite these difficulties, donors often experienced personal growth and fulfillment through donation.

Conclusion: Nurses should recognize AYA bone marrow donors as a population that requires support, and consider strategies to increase the understanding and registration among this crucial demographic group.
