Study Description

Brief Summary: This clinical trial tests whether chaplain-delivered compassion centered spiritual health (CCSH) works to improve quality of life in patients receiving a stem cell transplant. Compassion Centered Spiritual Health (CCSH) is a secularized, 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 targeted reflections to appreciate one's relationship with self and others. By centering the mind, controlling negative thoughts, and cultivating personal resiliency and an inclusive and more accurate understanding of others, Compassion Centered Spiritual Health (CCSH) may help improve response to stress and reduce inflammation.

Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To examine the feasibility, adoption, extent of implementation, and fidelity of chaplain-delivered Compassion Centered Spiritual Health (CCSH). OUTLINE: Patients undergo 4 to 8 sessions (2-4 per week) of Compassion Centered Spiritual Health (CCSH) over 30 minutes with a chaplain while impatient.
