Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Recipient

In brief

This trial studies a positive psychology intervention designed to improve quality of life in stem cell transplant survivors and their caregivers. Positive psychology (PP) uses systematic exercises (e.g., gratitude letters, acts of kindness) to potentially boost levels of optimism, resilience, and life enjoyment. PP interventions are often enjoyable, easy to understand, and can be delivered via telephone. PP intervention may improve the quality of life of participants who have undergone a stem cell transplant or their caregivers.
