这篇文章“胺的反应骨髓捐赠者的死亡无关的人,他们捐赠。分析的数据是330份问卷和50个深入的访谈收集捐赠者在国家骨髓捐赠者计划在捐赠后一年。只有在少数情况下,接受者的死亡会使捐赠者产生内疚和责任感(问卷数据中的2%的捐赠者和23名受访捐赠者中的2名)。悲伤经常发生(23名受访捐赠者中有22人),而且往往令人惊讶地强烈,因为接受者是陌生人。悲伤的强度取决于与接受者的关系。我们的数据表明,限制与捐赠者的联系和/或关于捐赠者的信息不太可能产生更积极的心理社会结果。然而,几种策略,这可能是有用的,在减轻捐助者的内疚和/或悲伤的建议。
This article ''amines the responses of bone marrow donors to the death of the unrelated person to whom they donated. Data analyzed were 330 questionnaires and fifty in-depth interviews collected from donors in the National Marrow Donor Program at one year post-donation. Death of the recipient produced feelings of guilt and responsibility in the donors in only a few cases (2% of donors from questionnaire data and 2 of the 23 donors interviewed). Grief occurred often (22 of 23 donors interviewed) and was often surprisingly intense, given the fact that the recipient was a stranger. Intensity of grief varied depending on the perceived relationship with the recipient. Our data indicate that limiting contact and/or information about the recipient to the donor would be unlikely to result in more positive psychosocial outcomes. However, several strategies which might be useful in relieving donor guilt and/or grief are suggested.
