Bone marrow transplantation is connected with many psychological problems of the patient determined mainly by the procedure itself. In individual phases of bone marrow transplantation (qualification of patients for operation, peritransplantation and post-transplantation periods, and final phase) different disturbances and difficulties are seen.
