Summary
This study is analyzing the benefit of untrained touch provided during a bone marrow biopsy procedure as compared to performing the procedure without providing it.
Detailed description
Two protocol-identified licensed nursing aides (LNA) will provide an unstructured simple touch intervention that requires no special training other than being oriented to "rub patient's feet" during the procedure. Data will be collected through patient-reported outcomes to determine if "untrained" touch has therapeutic results in managing a patient's pain and anxiety during a bone marrow biopsy procedure.
