Study Summary

This trial tests whether compassion-centered spiritual health (CCSH) delivered by a chaplain can improve quality of life for stem cell transplant patients. CCSH is a secular, research-based mindfulness and compassion meditation program designed to expand and strengthen compassion for self and others. Practices include training in attentional stability and increased emotional awareness, as well as reflections to appreciate one's relationship with self and others.
