Résumé : Bone marrow transplantation, used with increasing success over the past ten years, is recognized as highly stressful. Physiological and psychological rehabilitation after treatment is often difficult. This paper outlines the psychological issues encountered by adult patients with haematological malignancies through a review of the adjustment disorders associated with bone marrow transplantation, their prevalence, symptomatology and predictive factors. Some guidelines are proposed for the prevention of the stresses associated with hospitalization.
