The Impact of Hospital Hospitality Houses (HHH) Programs on the Quality of Life and Mood of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HCT) Patients and Their Caregivers

Overview

About this study

The aim of this study is to measure the differences in quality of life and mood of hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) patients and their caregivers staying at a hospital hospitality house (HHH), such as the Gift of Life Transplant House, the Help in Healing Home, and the Gabriel House of Care versus staying at a hotel/rental apartment or house. The goal is to investigate if staying in a HHH, with its different environment and support systems and programs, has a positive impact on the quality of life (QOL) and mood of patients undergoing a HCT and their caregivers.
