Pilot Study of Educational Interventions in Pediatric Hematopoietic Stem Cell Donors to Increase Knowledge of Donation and Transplantation Procedures
RATIONALE: An education session using a board game or workbook may increase a young donor's
knowledge about stem cell transplant. It may also reduce a donor's anxiety about the
procedure.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying education sessions to see how well they increase
knowledge and reduce anxiety in young first degree relative stem cell donors.
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Assess young first degree relative stem cell donor comprehension of transplantation
procedures and compare knowledge prior to educational interventions (pre- and
post-consent information session) to knowledge after educational interventions.
Secondary
- Assess the efficacy of a workbook intervention as a learning tool for conveying
information on stem cell donation and transplantation to pediatric donors.
- Assess the effectiveness of a board game intervention (ShopTalk) as a learning tool for
conveying information on stem cell donation and transplantation to pediatric donors.
- Identify donors who may require additional preparation prior to stem cell collection.
- Measure donor anxiety symptoms pre- and post-educational intervention and pre- and
post-stem cell donation.
- Explore the relationship between donor knowledge and anxiety symptoms pre- and
post-stem cell donation.
OUTLINE: This is a pilot study. Participants are stratified by age (10-15 years of age vs
16-26 years of age).
Participants attend an educational session comprising a board game intervention (ShopTalk)
(for participants 10-15 years of age) or a workbook intervention (for participants 16-26
years of age).
Participants take a knowledge-assessment quiz at baseline, 24 hours before and after
educational session, and 1 month after educational session. Participants also complete a
written anxiety assessment at baseline, 24 hours before educational session, and 1 month
after educational session.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 20 participants will be accrued for this study.
