Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Count of Participants RecruitedBaseline (T1)

Recruitment will be measured by the count of participants successfully recruited and randomized into the study.

Satisfaction Scores as Measured by Weekly Rating Satisfaction ScoreUp to 100 days post-transplant

Scores per item range from 0 to 5. Higher scores indicate more satisfaction.

Number of Participants RetainedUp to 18 months

Participant retention will be examined via the number of participants retained in the study.

Mean Number of Intervention Sessions that Participants CompletedUp to 100 days post-transplant

Participant engagement will be examined via the mean number of intervention sessions completed by participants measured after the 8th (and last) intervention session which is given between 75 and 100 days post-transplant.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Immunocompetence as Measured by Thymic FunctionBaseline (T1), up to 18 months

Thymic function T-cell receptor excision circles (TRECs) measured by TRECs/microliter.

Change in Immunocompetence as Measured by Regulatory T cellsBaseline (T1), up to 18 months

Regulatory T cells measured as cells/mm\^3

Change in Health Related Quality of Life Scores as Measures by Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Bone Marrow Transplant (FACT-BMT)Baseline (T1), up to 18 months

FACT-BMT score range 0-164, with higher scores indicating better quality of life.

Change in Fatigue as Measured by patient reported outcome measures (PROMIS®) Fatigue scale.Baseline (T1), up to 18 months

(PROMIS®) Fatigue scale is scored on a range of 8 to 40. Higher scores indicate higher fatigue.

Number of Days of Hospitalization Measured from Admission to Engraftment.Up to 18 months

To measure the number of days of hospitalization we will extract from the electronic medical record (EMR) days of hospitalization from admission to engraftment.

Number of Hospital Readmissions after Hospital DischargeUp to 100 days

To measure the number of hospital readmissions we will extract from the electronic medical record (EMR) the number of hospital readmissions from hospital discharge.

Number of Infections from Hospital Admissionup to 100 Days Post-Infusion Day

To measure the number of infections we will extract from the electronic medical record (EMR) the number of infections from hospital admission measure up to 100 days post infusion.

Change in anxiety Scores as Measured with the Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD-7)Baseline (T1), up to 18 months

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD-7) range is 0 to 21; higher score is associated with more severe anxiety.

Change in Sleep Quality Scores as Measured by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality IndexBaseline (T1), up to 18 months

Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score range from 0 to 21. Higher score indicate worse sleep quality.

Number of Days to Engraftment Measured from Infusion to Engraftment.Up to 18 months

To measure the number of days to engraftment we will extract from the electronic medical record (EMR) days from infusion to engraftment.

Change in Cancer-specific Distress Scores as Measured by the Impact of Events Scale-RevisedBaseline (T1), up to 18 months

Impact of Events Scale-Revised range is 0 to 88; higher score is associated with more effect caused by events.

Change in Immunocompetence as Measured by CytokinesBaseline (T1), up to 18 months

Cytokines levels are measured in pg/mL. Any values outside of the normal range are associated with inflammation

Changes in Depression Scores as measured with the patient health questionnaire (PHQ-9)Baseline (T1), up to 18 months

PHQ-9 (patient health questionnaire) score range is from 0 to 27; higher score is associated with more severe depression.

Change in Serum Cortisol as Measured by ELISABaseline (T1), up to 18 months

Serum cortisol levels are measured via ELISA. Serum Cortisol normal levels morning range: 10-20 mcg/dL ; afternoon range: 3-10 mcg/dL. Any values outside of the range are associated with higher stress and inflammation

Change in Pain as Measured by patient reported outcome measures (PROMIS®) pain scale.Baseline (T1), up to 18 months

(PROMIS®) pain scale is scored on a range of 3 to 15 with higher scores indicating higher pain.

Change in Cognitive Function Scores as Measured by The Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status.Baseline (T1), up to 18 months

The Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) scores range from 40-160 with higher scores indicating better cognitive function.
