RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Support groups might help survivors of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantations (HCT) to cope with medical, psychological, and social challenges. The aim of this project was (1) to establish a facilitated post-HCT support group and (2) to assess the participation behaviour. METHODS: From 11/2013 until 7/2017, all adult patients who had received a HCT at our centre were invited to participate in a professionally facilitated support group. The format of the group was unstructured without any rules regarding regular attendance. The attendance was prospectively minuted by the facilitator. Reasons for non-attendance were assessed by a survey. RESULTS: During the observation period, 53 group meetings were scheduled. Nine meetings were cancelled because of low attendance. Altogether 23 different patients (F: n=10; M: n=13) and 10 spouses (F: n=9; M: n=1) participated. Median participation was 5 [range 2-11]. With respect to all HCT patients who had the theoretical opportunity to attend, the mean participation rate was 7%. Thirteen patients and four spouses attended more than one meeting. The median count of participations among those participants was 8 [2-32]. The median interval from the first until the last participation was 16 months. The main reason reported for non-participation was the effort to get to the venue of the support group. CONCLUSIONS: To our knowledge, this is the first analysis on the attendance behaviour of the participants of a support group for HCT survivors. The results provide guidance for the organization of future support groups and indicate what participation rates can be expected and how they might be increased.
