Quality of Life in Patients Who Have Undergone Stem Cell Transplant

This study will evaluate the long-term functional status, psychosocial adjustment and quality of life of patients with different types of diseases and conditions who have had an allogeneic (donor) stem cell transplant. Information from this study may help patients and families know better what they may expect long-term after transplant and will help health care workers improve services to aid in patients' recovery. People 18 years of age or older who have had an allogeneic stem cell transplant three or more years before the start of this study may be eligible to participate. Participants complete a series of questionnaires once a year for three years. The questionnaires take about 40 minutes to complete and include information on patient demographics, patients' physical, social, and emotional functioning, spiritual well being, pain, mental health, general health, fatigue, and other areas of health-related quality of life. The questionnaires are completed at home or during normally scheduled follow-up visits to the NIH. ...
