An mHealth Pain Coping Skills Training Intervention for Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Patients: Development and Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pain is a challenge for patients following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT).

Objective

This study aimed to develop and test the feasibility, acceptability, and initial efficacy of a Web-based mobile pain coping skills training (mPCST) protocol designed to address the needs of HCT patients.

Methods

Participants had undergone HCT and reported pain following transplant (N=68).
