TECHNOLOGY AND TEACHING IN THE BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT UNIT

Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is a therapeutic procedure indicated for many hematological diseases and in the hematopoietic stem cell transplantation unit (UTMO) nursing care is shown to be differentiated in relation to other services. Considering the complexity of the sector and the criticality of the patients, the nurse with excessive care in the pre, intra and post-transplant, it becomes challenging for this patient to experience this transition having specific guidelines to improve the quality of life, which the nurses do be resolutive, for insertion of the hospital discharge plan. Regarding the transplanted, the effective recovery of the bone marrow occurs slowly over six to twelve months, a period in which the patient still needs continuous health care and is at risk of developing complications, often requiring subsequent hospitalizations, mainly due to the lack of knowledge of the home care. In view of the above, the objective of this research was the development of software for planning the hospital discharge of bone marrow transplant patients, guaranteeing the guidelines for their effective recovery.
