Study Type: | Interventional |
Official Title: | Emotional Needs of Caregivers and Patient/Spouse Couples During Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) |
Study Start Date: | March 2002 |
OBJECTIVES:
OUTLINE: Caregivers (CG) complete written questionnaires assessing demographics, positive and negative affect, dispositional inhibition, marital satisfaction, and physical health over 45 minutes to 1 hour on day 1. CG then engage in two oral emotional expression exercises (on the topic of caregiving and the transplant) over 2 hours on day 2. Patients are present for one oral emotional expression exercise.
Participants are followed at 2 weeks and 6 months.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 60 patient/spouse couples will be accrued for this study within 18 months.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 21 Years and older |
