Abstract
This paper reviews the research published in the last 18 yr on QoL and psycho-social sequelae in pediatric patients who have undergone HSCT. A corpus of 47 empirical studies was selected and is presented here. From this selection five main topics linked to psychological adjustment to HSCT emerged: QoL; psychological symptoms; cognitive sequelae; social adaptation; psycho-social interventions for children. The information which emerged from the review of the literature is discussed with special attention to methodological issues. Directions for future research are proposedKeywords
