Summary

This study aims to evaluate the impact of a simplified mindfulness intervention (daily mindfulness breathing and body scanning) during hospitalization in the transplant ward on health-related quality of life in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients.

Detailed description

All patients undergo standardized HSCT treatment, which does not interfere with the management of their underlying conditions. Patients are randomly assigned to either the 'Mindfulness Intervention Group' or the 'Conventional Support Group' based on age (whether over 40) and transplant type (autologous or allogeneic), in a 1:1 ratio. The study period is at least 21 days, during which patients are hospitalized in the transplant ward.
