Summary

This study tested whether aesthetic therapy sessions (like skincare or makeup) could reduce anxiety and improve quality of life for patients with acute leukemia or those who had a stem cell transplant. These patients are isolated in a protected hospital area for at least 28 days. Researchers compared patients who received three aesthetic therapy sessions with those who did not, using questionnaires to measure anxiety and well-being.
