BENAMOR, Larissa Nunes  e  PEREIRA, Daphne Rodrigues. Unveiling the patients caregiver's place at a bone marrow transplant center. Rev. SBPH [online]. 2018, vol.21, n.1, pp. 170-191. ISSN 1516-0858.

In health institutions, the professional practice is usually directed towards the sick patient, leaving companions in a less prominent position in the extent of intervention. Although the companions play a fundamental role in the patient's comfort and daily care, they are often left in a secondary place, hardly receiving specific assistance and support. In this context, the present study sought to analyze the effects of accompanying a patient who is undergoing a transplant at the INCA Bone Marrow Transplantation Center (INCA/CEMO). The study investigates the repercussions that this place promotes in the lives of those who occupy it. The present study is a research carried out in the period of multi-professional residency in oncology and medical physics, where a clinical-theoretical study was carried out based on the psychoanalytic theory. It articulates several variables in the process such as the complexity of the treatment, the severity of the treated disease, with psychoanalysis concepts such as unconsciousness, finitude, and narcissism. From the listening of these subjects, clinical fragments based on psychoanalytic theory were analyzed, in which the impact caused by such experience was observed in those who are willing to accompany the patient in this trajectory.
