Study Summary

This trial is a single-group pre-post design that will test the feasibility of a PA intervention for HCT recipients and their caregivers. The intervention provides training in communication skills and behavior change techniques to help patient-caregiver dyads support one another in PA.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for bone marrow transplant recipients and their spouses or committed partners who can walk, speak English, and have doctor's approval to join a walking program. It aims to help both patients and caregivers support each other in increasing physical activity.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests an 8-session physical activity intervention using health counseling, communication skills training, behavior change techniques, and Fitbit trackers to set weekly step goals for patient-caregiver pairs after bone marrow transplant.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since the intervention involves moderate exercise tailored to individual capabilities monitored by wearable devices, side effects are minimal but may include typical exercise-related discomforts such as muscle soreness.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Family-Focused Facilitated Fitness programExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Couple-based physical activity intervention commencing 14 (+/-7) days post-transplant (8 sessions with a health counselor). Sessions 1-4 will train couples in the use of communal coping strategies to support one another in achieving PA goals. Skill building will focus on instruction and practice in adaptive communication, with emphases on adaptive speaking, responsive listening, and joint decision-making and problem-solving around PA. Instruction and practice will focus specifically on communication about PA and working together (we versus me) to increase PA. Sessions 5-8 will afford check-in, review of PA progress, and troubleshooting any barriers to PA. All sessions will be dyad-based but will include delivery of individualized step goals for the next week using an adaptive approach and based on remotely-monitored Fitbit step data. Specifically, the 75th percentile rank of each participant's last 7 days of recorded days will serve as the step goal prescription for the next week.
