Overview

People with hematologic cancer often have sleep disturbance and symptoms of fatigue, stress, and pain. This study is being done to test a mindfulness intervention for sleep disturbance and symptom management in patients with hematologic cancer during and after inpatient treatment (Nite2Day+). Participants will complete a baseline survey online, using a mobile application, or paper/pencil. Once the baseline survey is complete, participants will be randomized (like a flip of a coin) to receive Nite2Day+ or Standard Care. Nite2Day+ will include activities during and after inpatient treatment. During inpatient treatment, participants will use a mobile app to access: 1) mindfulness meditations, 2) brief sleep education videos, and 3) brief videos teaching strategies to improve sleep quality in the hospital. After inpatient treatment, participants will complete 6, videoconference sessions (45-60 minutes) with a trained therapist to learn mindfulness and behavioral coping strategies to self-manage nighttime sleep disturbance and daytime symptoms of fatigue, stress, and pain. Three follow-up surveys will occur at hospital discharge, and approximately 8, and 12 weeks after hospital discharge. Participants randomized to Nite2Day+ will be given the option to complete an exit interview to provide feedback on the Nite2Day+ program. Participants randomized to Standard Care will only complete the four surveys. All participants will continue to receive their usual medical care. The total study duration is about 16 weeks.
