1. Introduction Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (“HCT,” also known as cellular therapy transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation) is a treatment for malignant and non-malignant conditions, primarily used for hematological cancers [1]. HCT involves a myeloablative process followed by the reintroduction of stem cells, harvested beforehand from either the patients themselves (autologous or “auto” HCT) or from a donor (allogeneic or “allo” HCT).

Abstract During the COVID-19 pandemic, first responders and health care workers faced elevated virus-related risks through prolonged contacts with the public. Research suggests that these workers already experienced lower levels of psychological well-being linked to occupational risks. Thus, the pandemic’s impact might have particularly affected mental health in these groups. This paper analysed data from a large-scale Welsh population study (N = 12,989) from June to July 2020.
