Quality of life, coping styles, and satisfaction with health care were assessed in 32 bone marrow transplant recipients and 22 conventional chemotherapy recipients. Subjects reported having generally good quality of life with no significant differences in quality of life or coping styles between the two groups. Quality of life was not significantly associated with age, socioeconomic status, time since diagnosis, or time since last treatment, although lower scores were associated with a passive coping style. Interestingly, bone marrow transplant recipients reported greater over-all satisfaction with health care and more contentment with the cost and convenience of health-care delivery than did conventional chemotherapy recipients
