Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1.To develop a culturally tailored yoga therapy (YT) program for HSCT patients. We will conduct semi-structured interviews with patients from each center to examine cultural norms, culturally sensitive language, and specific factors relevant to yoga and psychosocial supportTimepoint: Patients between 3-6 months post stem cell transplant or when they are stable post stem cell transplant | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. To optimize the HSCT YT program using an iterative process. Fifteen patients from each center (or until thematic saturation based on exit interviews) will participate in the yoga program throughout the first 30 days of the HSCT. Sessions will be delivered in person, via telehealth (Zoom), or in combination. 2. To examine feasibility of adherence and follow-up completion. We will declare the intervention feasible if: (a) at least 50% of patients complete a minimum of 50% of the 12 YT sessions, and (b) at least 60% of participants complete follow-up measures at 2 months after transplant (± 7 days).
