Coping Skills Training for Symptom Management and Daily Steps (Step Up)
This study is testing a program called "Step Up" to help people who have had a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) or CAR-T cell therapy. Step Up combines in-person and mobile app-based training to teach coping skills and provide activity coaching. The goal is to help you manage symptoms like fatigue, pain, and stress, which can make it hard to be physically active. Researchers want to see if Step Up can improve your physical ability compared to receiving usual medical care plus educational videos (Usual Care Plus). You might be able to join if you are over 18, have had an HCT or CAR-T cell therapy for blood cancer, and are experiencing at least two of these symptoms: fatigue, pain, or psychological distress. The study will look at changes in your physical ability over about six months. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 177 participants.

What this trial measures
- Change in physical disability as measured by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT)Baseline, Post-Intervention (2-3 months after Baseline), 3-month Follow-Up, 6-Month Follow-Up
The FACT is widely used in oncology research and includes four subscales assessing physical, functional, social/family, and emotional well-being. The 7-item physical subscale will be used in this study to assess physical disability. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale (0 to 4). The total score is the sum of all items and thus ranges from 0 to 28, where higher scores indicate better physical well-being.
- Change in physical disability as measured by the Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT)Baseline, Post-Intervention (2-3 months after Baseline), 3-month Follow-Up, 6-Month Follow-Up
A self-paced timed walk test, the 6MWT is sensitive to change following medical treatments and has shown moderate correlations with physical disability. It measures the distance a patient walks in 6 minutes.
