Study Summary

Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) is an aggressive treatment for life-threatening cancers. HCT improves survival, but most HCT patients experience significant physical disability, which is exacerbated by persistent symptoms. Pain, fatigue, and psychological distress are the most prevalent and debilitating symptoms. HCT patients experience a significant increase in disability as their pain, fatigue, and distress increase. This disability and symptom burden interferes with patients' ability to engage in recommended physical activity that can improve disability, symptoms, and other outcomes. Disability and symptoms also complicate an already challenging recovery course; HCT patients return home, often far from their medical team, are restricted from normal activities and socially isolated. These disability, symptom and activity challenges increase the risk for post-transplant complications and may compromise life expectancy. Teaching HCT patients to cope with symptoms and activity is critical to helping them increase activity and reduce disability. Cognitive behavioral coping skills training protocols can enhance HCT patients' ability to cope with symptoms (pain, fatigue, distress) that interfere with physical activity. However, the application of these protocols to HCT patients is limited by in person sessions, delivery of sessions in a medical center setting, and/or lack of tailoring to HCT patients' specific needs. Mobile health (mHealth) technologies can improve and extend intervention strategies to cope with symptoms and physical activity upon return home. Behavioral intervention strategies are needed to enable HCT patients to effectively cope with symptoms to improve their ability to engage in physical activity that can improve physical disability. The investigators aim to develop and test a combined coping skills training and activity coaching protocol that: first, is feasible and acceptable, and second, improves physical disability, as well as pain, fat
