This research is correlational study. Statistical population is all of patients with acute leukeamia who are conditor for BMT.

The physical well-being in the subjects were assessed after one, two and three months post-BMT. Data were analyzed by SPSS 16. Statistic data analysis was based on descriptive statistics, univariate, multivariate and regression analysis.
