What this trial studies

This study explores the psychological effects of haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation on adult donors who are either parents or children of the recipients. It employs a prospective, bicentric approach to assess changes in anxiety and depression levels at multiple time points post-donation using validated questionnaires. The aim is to understand the psychosocial implications of intra-family donations, which have become more common due to the rise of haploidentical transplants. By evaluating the mental health of donors, the study seeks to address the clinical and ethical concerns surrounding this type of transplantation.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adult haploidentical stem cell donors who are either parents or children of the transplant recipients and reside in mainland France.

Not a fit: Patients who do not have a familial relationship with the transplant recipient or those who cannot communicate in French may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide insights into the psychological support needed for donors, improving their mental health outcomes.

How similar studies have performed: While the psychological impact of organ donation has been studied, this specific focus on haploidentical stem cell donors is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested.
