Description
Anjali Rathee, with ten colleagues, reports a 2026 study of loneliness and care satisfaction in stem cell transplant patients. Transplant patients spend weeks in protective isolation to dodge infection, and that confinement can weigh on mood and trust in care. The team asked who feels isolation most, and what softens it.
The study enrolled 47 adults at a large hospital in India after autologous or allogeneic transplants. Set scales gauged felt isolation and satisfaction with care. Near half the patients fell into a high-isolation group, and a like share scored low on satisfaction. A caregiver who was not the patient's partner was the strongest marker of high isolation. Being unmarried marked the lowest satisfaction. The caregiver effect on satisfaction ran fully through how patients felt about their ties with others.
