The Mindfulness Pilot Project: The Effects of a Body Scan Activity on Bone Marrow Transplant Patients and Their Caregivers
This study will address whether teaching the Body Scan exercise to cancer patients with
hematological malignancies and their caregivers during an inpatient hospitalization improves
reported physical and psychological symptoms after a two-week period. Giving patients and
caregivers the opportunity to learn mindfulness and the tools to practice on their own is
expected to lead to a decrease in stress and anxiety, and help empower patients and
caregivers to better cope with stress in the future.
