Abstract Studies investigating association of depression with overall survival (OS) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) yielded conflicting results. A nationwide cohort study, which included all adult patients [n = 7,170; depression group, 13.3% (N = 956); non-depression group, 86.7% (N = 6,214)] who received allo-HSCT from 2002 to 2018 in South Korea, analyzed risk of pre-transplant depression in OS of allo-HSCT. Subjects were followed from the day they received allo-HSCT, to occurrence of death, or last follow-up day (December 31, 2018). Median age at allo-HSCT for depression and non-depression groups were 50 and 45 (p < 0.0001), respectively. Two groups also differed in rate of females (depression group, 55.8%; non-depression group, 43.8%; p < 0.0001) and leukemia (depression group, 61.4%; non-depression group, 49.7%; p < 0.0001). After a median follow-up of 29.1 months, 5-year OS rate was 63.1%. Cox proportional-hazard regression evaluated an adjusted risk of post-transplant mortality related to depression: OS decreased sequentially from no depression (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] = 1) to pre-transplant depression only (aHR = 1.167, CI: 1.007–1.352, p = 0.04), and to having both depression and anxiety disorder (aHR = 1.202, CI: 1.038–1.393, p = 0.014) groups. Pre-transplant anxiety (anxiety only) did not have significant influence in OS. Additional medical and psychiatric care might be necessary in patients who experienced depression, especially with anxiety, before allo-HSCT.

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify the knowledge and ability of caregivers on hand hygiene in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Method: a prospective cross-sectional study. A questionnaire was used to identify the knowledge and it was observed the hygiene technique performance. Data were collected in two units (autologous and allogeneic transplant). Results: the 37 participants recognized the importance of hand hygiene and 95.5% related to removal of dirt or infection prevention. 91.9% stated that it was important to clean their hands with soap and water when entering and leaving the room, and 64.9% understood that it was necessary to apply alcoholic solution after washing. On average, the caregivers scored 6.16 steps, when demonstrating the washing technique and 3.91 steps in the friction with alcoholic solution. Conclusion: although they recognize the importance of the procedure, there are deficits related to the moment and the correct way of doing it, evidencing the need for strategies aimed at improving this process.
