Semi-structured interviews were conducted during haematopoietic stem cell collection or the early post-collection recovery period. Purposive sampling was used, and data collection and analysis proceeded concurrently. After initial analysis of seven interviews, two further interviews were conducted to explore experiential variation and refine interpretation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Ethical considerations<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Ethical approval was granted by the hospital ethics committee, and dual informed assent procedures were adhered to for all participants.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Interpretative phenomenological analysis generated three stage-specific experiential themes across the donation journey and two cross-cutting contextual themes.

Throughout the journey, disrupted family dynamics and insufficient explanations shaped children\u2019s experiences.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Paediatric donation involves ongoing tensions in children\u2019s psychological needs, participation, and relational experiences.
