Summary

This study looks at whether adding guided spiritual care sessions to standard hospital care is possible and helpful for adults newly diagnosed with acute leukemia. Seventy participants will be randomly assigned to receive either regular spiritual visits or usual care. The goal is to see if patients accept the sessions and if they report better spiritual well-being and quality of life.
