Nível de conhecimento sobre doação de medula óssea: uma revisão bibliográfica

Abstract

The bone marrow is a gelatinous tissue that occupies the interior of the bones, it should be noted that it is in the bone marrow that the components of blood are produced. In view of the importanceof this to the organism, it is emphasized that there are many diseases that can cause the malfunctionof the bone marrow, which may require a Bone Marrow Transplantation (BMT). There are some types of BMT, such as allogeneic, syngeneic and autologous. Under this bias, it is possible that the donor does not have a genetic link with the patient, and can be found based on compatibility through the registration of the future possible donor in the Brazilian Registry of Marrow Donors (REDOME). It is worth noting that there is a need to discuss the topic, because only from knowledge about bone marrow donation is it possible to register more and more people in the donor database, therefore, the choice of topic is justified based on the observation that the theme is discussed especially with higher education students. In this perspective, the general objective ofthis work is: Examine the level of knowledge on the topic of bone marrow donation. While the specific objectives are: To correlate the level of knowledge on the topic of bone marrow donation; Assess whether this topic is socially debated; and observe the knowledge regarding the subject inthe different teaching stages. The method used is a narrative literature review. There was too muchmisinformation on the subject in the various stages of teaching from the perspective of the reviewpresented throughout this work, realizing the need to socially debate about the BMT and the REDOME registration for the purpose of propagating adequate knowledge and, who sá, contributeto increasing the number of registrations for bone marrow donation.
