Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to see if a 5 session psychological therapy program delivered after bone marrow transplantation can have a positive impact on quality of life and psychological distress in these patients. Who is it for? You may be eligible for this study if you are aged 18 or older and have received a bone marrow transplant in the last 3 to 12 months. Study details All participants in this study will receive 5 individual sessions of face-to-face cognitive behavioural therapy targeting mental adjustment and coping strategies. Participants will also need to do approximately 10 minutes of ‘homework’ every day following each of the first 4 sessions. As part of the study, participants will complete questionnaires about their quality of life, psychological distress, mental adjustment, coping and self-efficacy before and after the 5 session intervention. Participants will also be asked to complete questionnaires about their psychological distress and homework completion at each session. It is hoped this research will provide evidence this program improves mental health outcomes in this patient population.
