Summary
This study tested a support program for people caring for a loved one undergoing a stem cell transplant for blood cancer. The program included 8 online sessions over 12 weeks to teach stress management, coping skills, and communication. 17 caregivers took part, and the study checked if the program was easy to use and helpful. The goal was to see if this kind of support could improve caregivers' well-being and quality of life.
