Summary

The investigators will use a single arm design and deliver a new supportive intervention entitled, "Ready to Connect, Actively Relax and Exercise (CARE)." The purpose of the study is to describe the feasibility, acceptability, and potential effectiveness of the Ready to CARE intervention. Effectiveness outcomes include caregiver self-efficacy, distress, and coping style, and patient quality of life, symptom burden, and healthcare utilization.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Ready to CARE program

The intervention is built upon a model of caregiver well-being that identifies four domains of quality of life: physical, psychological, social, and spiritual well-being. For each domain, there are stressors (i.e., factors that make it hard to be a caregiver) and buffers (i.e., factors that help people be effective caregivers). Our Ready to CARE intervention begins by presenting caregivers with the model in order to generate a profile of personal stressors and buffers. From there, caregivers select from a "menu" of strategies that can be used to minimize stressors and create buffers in their daily life. The investigators will have six 45-minute sessions with the caregivers that will primarily occur while the patient is admitted for stem cell reinfusion.
