Abstract

Introduction: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a complex treatment, with healing potential, however, it presents a significant risk of serious complications and consequent impairment in health-related quality of life. Given this scenario, it is necessary for the health team to recognize the demands that patients are exposed to, and the coping strategies used, in order to promote interventions that aim to improve health-related quality of life, and decrease the discomforts resulting from the diagnosis and treatment. Objective: To correlate the use of religious/spiritual coping with quality of life after five years of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Method: Analytical and longitudinal study, with 55 patients in a referral hospital for the procedure in Latin America. Data were collected from 2013 to 2021, with the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy – Bone Marrow Transplantation and Religious/Spiritual Coping Scale questionnaires. Correlations between variables by the Spearman’s correlation coefficient. Results: 30 patients died before completing five years of treatment. Quality of life showed better rates in the fifth year (116.1/148). There was greater use of positive religious/spiritual coping (3.15/5.00). A significant negative correlation between quality-of-life scores (-0.624/p<0.00) and negative religious/spiritual coping was found. Conclusion: Recognizing the multidimensionality of the quality of life construct, including the spiritual domain, can help the patient to cope with the disease and treatment.
