Summary
This study looks at whether a mindfulness-based stress management program can lower the stress and burden felt by caregivers of patients receiving a stem cell transplant (allogeneic HCT). About 505 caregivers and patients are taking part. The program uses a smartphone app to teach mindfulness skills, and researchers measure caregiver burden and patient distress over six months.
