Summary
This pilot study will test whether a smartphone app that teaches mindfulness can help caregivers of stem cell transplant patients feel less stressed and overwhelmed. Thirty caregivers will use the app for six weeks, starting just before the patient's transplant. Researchers will measure how many people sign up, stick with the program, and find the app easy to use.
