Summary

This study will address whether teaching the Body Scan exercise to cancer patients with hematological malignancies and their caregivers during an inpatient hospitalization improves reported physical and psychological symptoms after a two-week period. Giving patients and caregivers the opportunity to learn mindfulness and the tools to practice on their own is expected to lead to a decrease in stress and anxiety, and help empower patients and caregivers to better cope with stress in the future.
