Experiences of body image changes in Chinese hematopoietic stem cell transplantation survivors: A qualitative study
This qualitative study offers novel insights into the experiences of body image changes in patients with hematological cancers post-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation within the Chinese context. It also presents a journey toward accepting body image changes. Further research is warranted to explore the underlying mechanisms linking body image changes to shifts in self-identity, and the process of body image acceptance.
