Summary
This study tested a program to help stem cell transplant survivors who have sexual problems. Participants met with a nurse for three months and got educational materials. The goal was to see if this improved their sexual satisfaction, quality of life, and mood. The study involved 230 adults who had a transplant at least three months earlier.
