Impact of a health information technology tool addressing information needs of caregivers of adult and pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients.
The authors of this article developed BMT Roadmap, a health information technology application on a tablet, to address caregivers' unmet needs with patient-specific information from the electronic health record. They conducted a preliminary feasibility study of BMT Roadmap in caregivers of adult and pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) patients and registered the study on ClinicalTrials.gov. They found that BMT Roadmap was a feasible intervention to implement in HSCT caregivers, associated with increased activation and decreased burden; quality of life, however, was lowered across hospitalization. The authors conclude that their findings support the need for further development of caregiver-specific self-directed resources and provision for both inpatient and outpatient across the HSCT trajectory.

Psychiatric care in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
An overview of literature in PubMed and PsychInfo was conducted to identify articles describing psychiatric symptoms and care for adult cancer patients undergoing hematopoietic stem transplantation (HSCT). Neuropsychiatric symptoms included depression, anxiety, distress, post-traumatic stress disorder, delirium, and cognitive impairment. The researchers concluded that consulting psychiatrists should be familiar with the treatment basics of HSCT and the neuropsychiatric outcomes that may follow to guide their treatment plan.
