The method that was used was the method of diagnostic survey. The tools used in the study were\: a generalquestionnaire to assess the quality of life of chronically ill \(FACT\-G\), sense of coherence questionnaire \(SOC\-29\), a proprietary questionnaire on socio\-demographic data, as well as the effects of the therapy and the Mini\-MAC scale that allows researching the process of adaptation to mental illness.The following results were obtained\: the quality of life of patients after ASCT did not differ from the QOL in the control group. Health problems as a result of the treatment decreased the quality of life of patients after ASCT \(p<0.001\). A higher degree of coherence was associated with higher perceived quality of life of patients after ASCT \(R²=0.23\; P<0.01\), while accepting the destructive strategies to cope with cancer decreased QOL \(R²=0.28\; P<0.001\). Socio\-demographic variables, psychosocial factors and the time passed from the transplant of hematopoietic stem cells did not affect the assessment of subjective quality of life of people after ASCT."]
