Participants will be asked to complete pre and post intervention surveys.
Standard of Care (SOC)
Participants will undergo a 30-minute SOC window during which they will be asked to do whatever they would normally do for relaxation during hospitalization. Participants will be asked to complete pre and post intervention surveys.
