Developing Restful Environments and Management Strategies for Pediatric Stem Cell Transplant Patients
Sponsor: Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
Summary
Pediatric patients undergoing stem cell transplant (SCT) are hospitalized for extended periods and are at high risk for sleep disturbances. In order to begin to address the environmental issues that SCT recipients face during inpatient hospitalizations, investigators will conduct a single arm pilot study of a program entitled 'Developing Restful Environments and Management Strategies' (DREAMS). The program will provide children receiving SCT and families with information and a kit that includes tools which may support sleep and circadian health during an inpatient hospitalization.
