Summary

This trial tests whether a structured peer support program, called STEPP, can reduce anxiety and improve quality of life in adults undergoing stem cell transplantation for blood cancers. Participants receive five phone sessions with a trained transplant survivor, blending cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, and positive psychology techniques. The study compares their outcomes to those receiving standard care, focusing on anxiety levels at eight weeks.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
STEPP, a phone-delivered structured peer support program
What this could lead to
If effective, this could establish peer support as a standard part of care to ease psychological distress in stem cell transplant patients.
What could go wrong
The trial is relatively small and the intervention is behavioral, so effects may be modest or not generalizable. There are no physical risks, but benefits may vary.
