Psychosocial and Behavioral Intervention for Stem Cell Transplant Patients and Their Family Caregivers
This study is looking at ways to help patients and their family caregivers manage the challenges after a stem cell transplant. Researchers are testing two types of support: Dyadic Problem Solving Training (DPST), which teaches problem-solving skills, and Supportive Care, which offers general support. The goal is to see if either of these interventions can improve how well patients and caregivers manage their health habits and their confidence in handling tasks after transplant. You might be able to join if you are an adult undergoing a stem cell transplant at the University of Pittsburgh Hillman Cancer Center and have a family caregiver who is also willing to participate. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 208 people.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study that will randomly assign participants to one of two groups. It plans to enroll 208 patients and their family caregivers.
- What's involved
- You and your family caregiver would participate in four intervention sessions via live video conferencing. You would also complete questionnaires before the intervention and at 1, 5, 12, and 24 weeks afterward.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for 24 weeks after the intervention.

What this trial measures
- Health Habits Assessment - modified for stem cell transplant1-, 5-, 12- and 24-weeks post-intervention
Assess levels of adherence to the post-transplant multi-component medical regimen of 20 main tasks; each task marked as yes = 1/no=0 adherent. Tasks will be grouped and summed into categories including medication taking (3 items, range 0=low to 3 high), infection precautions (6 items; range 0=low to 6 high), catheter/port care (4 items, range 0=low to 4 = high), and lifestyle behaviors (7 items, range 0=low to 7=high). Higher scores indicate greater adherence.
- Perceived task efficacy1-, 5-, 12- and 24-weeks post intervention
Assesses perceptions of efficacy to complete tasks of the post-transplant multi-component medical regimen, 20 items rated on 1=low to 10=high scale, mean score will be used.
