The Effect of an Online ACT Intervention on Meaning-Making Process in Cancer Patients Following Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

ACT intervention will start on the second day after hospital discharge and will take 14 days (+ day 0 with organizational information). Each day, participants will receive a web-based intervention consisting of educational and practical tasks/activities. Participants will learn to recognize moments of choice (actions that lead towards values or away from them) and to use attention flexibly to free themselves from the power of thoughts, to open up and accept emotions, and to be able to determine what is important and take action in line with values. All of the tasks will be available in written form and audio. The ACT intervention is built from standard ACT exercises.

Education will start on the second day after hospital discharge and will take 14 days (+ day 0 with organizational information). Each day, participants will receive information about post-transplant prescriptions along with exercises to support the implementation. Participants will learn about nutrition, personal hygiene, preventing infections, coping with fatigue, resuming activity, rest and sleep, engaging in social interactions, and sexual health. The content is prepared based on available guides for HCT recipients.
