Background: The procedure of Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is associated with a significant risk of morbidity and mortality and, consequently, significant distress in the HCT recipients. Few mindfulness-based interventions (MBI) in HCT recipients had heterogeneous intervention practices and equally heterogeneous tools to measure outcomes. While preliminary studies showed the feasibility and usefulness of MBI, subsequent randomized controlled trials were flawed by low intervention uptake and no differences in outcomes. We propose a simple and acceptable MBI using an app that may ensure better adherence.
