Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this research is to provide an educational visit addressing common emotional stressors involved in the transplant/CAR-T process, and determine if this added education improves levels of anxiety, depression, and fatigue after transplant/CART in comparison to people who do not receive the brief educational visit.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Individuals who decide to participate in this study, will be provided with a survey evaluating current symptoms. This survey should take approximately 10 minutes to complete.

Individuals will then be scheduled for a 30 minute telephone visit to review common emotional stressors experienced after Stem Cell Transplant/CAR-T therapy as well as strategies to help reduce these symptoms. Participants will be provided with a pamphlet to review during the visit and independently afterwards. This visit will be conducted by telephone to avoid extra travel to the hospital, and will be conducted prior to admission for Transplant/CAR-T.

Individuals will then be asked to fill out the same set of surveys at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after receiving the transplant/CAR-T therapy. These surveys will be conducted during other scheduled clinic visits to avoid additional travel to the hospital.

An individual's involvement will be complete at 1 year.

If an individual receives post-transplant/CAR-T care at a hospital other than DHMC, surveys will be mailed to the participant to complete and return at the same time points.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Education Group

Participants will receive an educational intervention focusing on psychosocial stressors and timeline of symptoms associated with the transplant/CAR-T experience.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Education

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Each Patient will undergo a 30 minute telephone visit with a trained Medical Provider outlining the timeline of various common emotional challenges experienced after transplant/CAR-T, as well as coping techniques. A pamphlet with information discussed will also be provided to the patient to review on their own time. The patient will have an opportunity to express any psychosocial/emotional concerns at this time.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Any patient with an underlying hematologic disease planning to undergo an autologous or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) or chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center is eligible.
