Abstract

Objective: To map nursing studies that address nursing care for patients submitted to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Methods: Scoping review, whose search was carried out in the MEDLINE, CINAHL and LILACS bases, from June to August 2019, in Portuguese, English and Spanish. We selected 18 publications on the theme. Results: The nursing care was related to the phases of the transplantation, namely: conditioning, infusion, harvest, and post-transplantation. Conclusion: The specific knowledge of nursing care for patients submitted to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation allows the nurse to recognize complications of this clientele, favoring early interventions and aiming to restore the patient, thus contributing to evidence-based nursing care.
