Allogenic Hematopoietic Cell Transplant, Physical Activity, Sleep
Conditions
Brief summary
To understand the changes in health-related quality of life of patients and caregivers after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation.
Detailed description
Primary Objectives * Assess the feasibility and acceptability of obtaining objective sleep and physical activity measures in participants receiving allogeneic HCT and their caregivers during hospitalization (T2), and after discharge (T3) using Fitbits. * Feasibility will be determined by the percentage of participants and caregivers who wear the Fitbit Inspire 3 for sleep and physical activity data at T2, and T3. For the purposes of this study, if ≥70% of participants and caregivers will wear the Fitbit for 5 of 7 nights for sleep data and at least 10 hours during waking hours for 5 of 7 days for physical activity data at both data collection periods, the study will be determined to be feasible. Feasibility will be reported for participants and caregivers separately and will include the percentage of eligible participants who are approached, agree to participate, and complete research activities. Secondary Objectives * Examine trends in objectively measured sleep, physical activity, and frailty, and participant-reported sleep disturbance, sleep-related impairment, anxiety, depression, fatigue, cancer treatment distress, and quality of life in allogeneic HCT participants and their caregivers during hospitalization (T2), and after discharge (T3). * Hypothesis 1: HCT participants will demonstrate improvements in objectively measured sleep, physical activity, and frailty, and participant-reported sleep disturbance, sleep-related impairment, anxiety, depression, fatigue, and cancer treatment distress from T2 to T3. * Compare objectively measured sleep and physical activity, and participant-reported sleep disturbance, sleep-related impairment, anxiety, depression, fatigue, cancer treatment distress, and quality of life between allogeneic HCT participants and their caregivers during hospitalization (T2), and after discharge (T3). * Hypothesis: HCT participants will demonstrate significant improvements compared to their caregivers in objectively measured sleep and physical activity, and patient-reported sleep disturbance, sleep-related impairment, anxiety, depression, fatigue, cancer treatment distress, and quality of life. * Acceptability will be assessed using an investigator-developed instrument, the Physical Activity and Sleep Tracker Acceptability Survey.
Interventions
DEVICEFitbit
You will wear the tracker on your wrist like a watch and it will continuously (non-stop) monitor your activity, sleep, and heart rate. Functional testing will be completed with a research team member and will consist of 2 tests: testing your grip strength by having you squeeze a measuring device 3 times with your dominant hand and measuring how many minutes it takes for you to walk 15 feet.
OTHERQuestionnaire
Complete questionnaires at 3 timepoints, at the time of enrollment on the day of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation, 8 days after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation, and 7 days after hospital discharge.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Quality of Life Questionnaire | Through study completion; an average of 1 year | You will answer questionnaires with a member of the research team. The questionnaires will take about 35 minutes complete. You will be asked questions about your sleep, anxiety and depressive symptoms, fatigue, distress, and your quality of life. |
