Phase N/A

This study looks at how chaplain-delivered compassion meditation can help patients receiving stem cell transplantation, which is a treatment to replace damaged blood-forming cells with healthy ones. The chaplain is a person who provides emotional and spiritual support, and this study tests if their meditation sessions can improve that care. Compassion meditation is a practice focused on being more understanding and kind to oneself and others. Patients in this study will be divided into two groups. One will get special meditation sessions with a chaplain for 30 minutes, twice a week for up to 2 weeks, while the other group will get regular chaplain visits as requested. The study follows up with patients 80-100 days and again at 6 months after the sessions to see how it helped.

  • Participation requires two 30-minute sessions each week for up to 2 weeks.
  • The study targets adults over 18 who speak English and are preparing for stem cell transplantation.
  • Patients with certain medical conditions or precautions are excluded from the study.
