Surviving bone marrow transplant (BMT) represents a major victory against malignant disease but also creates challenges of survivorship for patients and the professionals who care for them. Part 2 of this report presents the findings of a qualitative study (N = 119) related to improving quality of life (QOL) for BMT survivors. Results are shared based on BMT survivors' perceptions of (a) what makes QOL better, (b) what makes QOL worse, and (c) what doctors or nurses could do to enhance QOL. The findings of the study have been useful in constructing a quantitative instrument to measure QOL in BMT and in understanding the conceptual basis of QOL for the BMT population. Nursing interventions can improve the QOL for the BMT patient across all phases of the transplant process and long-term issues related to survival.
骨髓移植（BMT）成功意味着在对抗恶性疾病方面取得了重大胜利，但也给患者及其护理专业人员带来了生存挑战。本报告的第二部分介绍了一项定性研究（N = 119）的结果，该研究与改善骨髓移植幸存者的生活质量（QOL）有关。结果是根据骨髓移植幸存者对以下方面的看法分享的：（a）哪些因素使生活质量提高，（b）哪些因素使生活质量下降，以及（c）医生或护士可以采取哪些措施来提高生活质量。该研究结果有助于构建一种定量工具来测量骨髓移植中的生活质量，并有助于理解骨髓移植人群生活质量的概念基础。护理干预可以在移植过程的各个阶段以及与生存相关的长期问题上改善骨髓移植患者的生活质量。
