M. Pujol et al., PSYCHOLOGICAL-ASPECTS OF BONE-MARROW DONATION FOR BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHO GIVE THEIR MARROW DURING A MEDULLARY TRANSPLANT, Pediatrie, 48(4), 1993, pp. 337-341
It appears to be necessary to consider during a bone marrow transplant
ation, brothers and sisters who are donors. These children face Psycho
logical difficulties, which are not always understood by medical staff
and families who are mainly concerned with the health of the sick chi
ldren. Systematic meetings with a hundred donors point out the distres
s experienced in these situations.
