Adherence to Nursing Guidelines in Relation to Home Care of Bone Marrow Transplantees in the Ecosystem Perscpective

Objective: to analyze adherence to the nursing guidelines for home care of bone marrow transplant recipients from an ecosystem perspective. Method: descriptive, exploratory study with a qualitative approach, using Content Analysis for data analysis, with theoretical and philosophical ecosystem support. The interviews, carried out in bone marrow transplant services, in Brazil and Spain, were guided by an instrument developed by the researchers which contained 25 closed and ten open questions. 40 users participated who met the inclusion criteria. Data collection was carried out from July 2016 to October 2017. Results: the Orientations category emerged from the data which then gave rise to the subcategories: Interactive relational actions; and, actions and behaviors that interfered in the success of the transplant. Some users, due to excessive information at the time of discharge, were unable to assimilate or carry out the guidelines received; others, during the hospitalization phase, apprehended them and absorbed them in order to use them in the home ecosystem space after transplantation. Conclusion: part of the users followed only the guidelines that best adapted to their daily lives and, for others, after hospital discharge, they caused doubts and insecurities regarding the care to be performed at home. It is necessary for the user to identify the constituent elements of their home ecosystem and learn, through communication and information, how they interfere in post-hospital discharge care. Therefore, it is necessary to create communication and information mechanisms that enable the dynamic process between the constituent elements of the ecosystem, biotic and abiotic, so that they have interaction and sustainability and can be practiced by the user
