Balancing Give and Take between Patients and their Spousal Caregivers in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

ConclusionsOur proposed theoretical framework describes patients’ and caregiver's individual experience of distress pre‐HSCT, but does not as clearly encompass the dyadic experience. Addressing perceived imbalances and providing psycho‐education on role changes within HSCT dyads pre‐transplantation may be a useful prehabilitation strategy for preventing distress.
