Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Patient-Caregiver Dyad Perspectives on Participation in a Digital Storytelling Intervention: A Qualitative Approach.

ABSTRACT: Storytelling has long been considered an effective means of communication, allowing the teller to process their emotions in light of particular life challenges.

We sought to study these phenomena in the context of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), a demanding medical procedure requiring intensive informal caregiving and thus great patient-caregiver entwinement. The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to explore participants' perceptions of a 4-week web-based digital storytelli
