CAREgiver Study for Patients Undergoing HSCT

During the first phase of this study, the investigators enrolled caregivers of patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) into a descriptive study. The investigators used quantitative and qualitative measures to describe the caregivers self-efficacy, distress, and coping style, and solicit their opinions about how to improve our supportive care for caregivers. Informed by those data, the investigators now will study the effectiveness of the supportive intervention. The long-term goal of this research is to develop a pragmatic, replicable intervention that supports caregivers and promotes the health and well-being of the caregiver-HSCT patient dyad.
