Study Summary

This trial tests how a couple-based physical activity intervention, Mates in Motion, can help HCT patient-caregiver dyads support each other in being more active and improve physical health.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for English-speaking adults over 18 who are about to receive a bone marrow transplant and have a committed partner. Both the patient and caregiver must be approved by a doctor to participate in a walking program.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The 'Mates in Motion' intervention is being tested, which includes exercise counseling, physical performance tests, medical device usage, questionnaires, and best practice training for couples where one is undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this study involves an exercise program focused on walking and supportive activities rather than medication or invasive procedures, side effects may include typical exercise-related issues such as muscle soreness or fatigue.

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Arm I (Mates in Motion)Experimental Treatment5 Interventions

Dyads participate in the Mates in Motion program consisting of weekly sessions to train couples in the use of communal coping strategies to support one another in achieving PA goals and skill building focus on instruction and practice in effective communication, with emphases on adaptive speaking, responsive listening, and joint decision-making and problem-solving around PA over 8 weeks. Patient-partner dyads receive weekly step-count goals, complete walk-tests and questionnaires and wear an Actigraph device and Garmin activity tracker on study.

Group II: Arm II (usual care)Active Control4 Interventions

Patient-partner dyads wear an Actigraph device, compete walk-tests and questionnaires on study. Dyads receive usual care on study. Dyads receive a Garmin activity tracker at the end of the study.
