Myeloma patients' experiences of haematopoietic stem cell transplant: A qualitative thematic synthesis.

CONCLUSIONS: The burden of cognitive functioning among myeloma patients was often under detected. Nurses should ask patients regularly about their memory and any challenges they may be experiencing to their concentration and recall, Exercise during the transplant process can help improve patients' recovery, both physically and psychologically. A structured exercise programme developed by a physiotherapist to suit the needs of each patient should be standard practice in the transplant process. PMID: 30057079 [PubMed - in process]
