First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study tests whether a seven-session, telehealth-based therapy called Meaning-Centered Psychotherapy is practical and helpful for stem cell transplant survivors and their main caregivers. The program aims to help dyads stay connected to meaning, cope with difficult experiences, and communicate better during recovery. Researchers will enroll 100 patient-caregiver pairs to see if the therapy is acceptable and feasible, and to measure its impact on quality of life.
