[Role of advanced practice nurse within a cellular therapy unit: Guidelines from the Francophone Society of Bone Marrow Transplantation and cellular therapy (SFGM-TC)]. / Rôle de l'infirmière en pratique avancée (IPA) dans une unité de thérapie cellulaire : recommandations de la Société francophone de greffe de moelle et de thérapie cellulaire (SFGM-TC).

Like the "nurse practitioner" in Anglo-Saxon countries, the French health authority validated on January 2016 the creation of an intermediate grade called advanced practice nurse (APN). They are authorized to carry out an assessment of the person's state of health, through a complete clinical examination. They can also prescribe additional examinations necessary for the monitoring of the pathology, and carry out certain acts for diagnostic and/or therapeutic purposes. Given the specificities of cellular therapy patients, the content of university professional training doesn't seem sufficient to assure an optimal management by the APN of these patients. The Francophone society of bone marrow transplantation and cellular therapy (SFGM-TC) had already published two works regarding what was initially called "the transfer of skills" between doctors and nurses in the follow-up of transplant patients. In the same way, this workshop attempts to address the question of the place of APNs in the management of patients undergoing cellular therapy treatment. Beyond a delegation of tasks as proposed by the cooperation protocols, this workshop produces recommendations to allow an autonomous activity of the IPA in the follow-up of these patients, in close collaboration with the medical team.

Sexual and Emotional Health after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation: A Comprehensive Review and Guidelines from the Francophone Society of Bone Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (SFGM-TC).

A person's sexual and emotional life is greatly impacted after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). This topic is not addressed very much by patients and caregivers. Physical, endocrine and genital chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD)-related disorders are multiple and intertwined with psychological disorders. The Francophone Society of Bone Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (SFGM-TC) has issued recommendations for a better gynecological monitoring of female recipients after allo-HCT. A patient booklet was also offered to patients in the form of questions and answers to facilitate discussions between patients and caregivers and to improve the management of sexual and emotional life after transplant.

In an attempt to harmonize clinical practices among francophone hematopoietic stem cell transplantation centers, the Francophone Society of Bone Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (SFGM-TC) held its eleventh annual workshop series in September 2020 in Lille. This event brought together practitioners from across Europe. Our article discusses the updates and modifications for the 2021 version of the national patient follow-up care logbook.

The Francophone Society of Bone Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (SFGM-TC) organises annual workshops in an attempt to harmonise clinical practices among different francophone transplantation centres. The SFGM-TC harmonisation workshops aim at establishing practical guidelines, on the one hand, from data from the literature and international recommendations and, on the other hand, by consensus in the absence of formally proven data. The sexual and emotional life of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells transplanted (HSCT) patients is often very impacted and remains a subject relatively little addressed by patients and caregivers. This article is an update from a previous workshop and is accompanied by a patient booklet, which will be included in the post allograft follow-up workbook published by the SFGM-TC. The purpose of these two documents is to facilitate discussions between patients and caregivers on the subject and to present proposals for follow-up and tools to better manage the sexual and emotional life of allotransplanted patients.

[Oral feeding of patient hospitalized for allogeneic stem cells transplantation: Guidelines from the Francophone Society of Bone Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (SFGM-TC)]. / Alimentation orale du patient hospitalisé pour une allogreffe de cellules souches hématopoïétiques : recommandations de la Société Francophone de Greffe de Mœlle et de Thérapie Cellulaire (SFGM-TC).

Given the absence of consensus on oral feeding of patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic transplantation, the ninth workshops of practice harmonization of the Francophone Society of Bone Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (SFGM-TC) allocated one session to address this topic, especially during the hospitalization. A questionnaire was sent to all SFGM-TC pediatric and adult centers in order to investigate oral feeding practices. The results demonstrated a large disparity among centers regarding oral feeding. Here, we report our recommendations regarding the oral feeding after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation in terms of quality, quantity and bacterial authorized load.

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is part of the standard of care for many hematological diseases. Over the last decades, significant advances in patient and donor selection, conditioning regimens as well as supportive care of patients undergoing allogeneic HCT leading to improved overall survival have been made. In view of many new treatment options in cellular and molecular targeted therapies, the place of allogeneic transplantation in therapy concepts must be reviewed. Most aspects of HCT are well standardized by national guidelines or laws as well as by certification labels such as FACT-JACIE. However, the requirements for human resources, construction and layout of a unit treating patients during the transplantation procedure and for different complications are not well defined. Here, we describe the process of planning a transplant unit in order to open a discussion that could lead to more precise guidelines in the field of personnel and infrastructural requirements for hospitals caring for people with severe immunosuppression.
