What is this trial about?

Background: More than 50,000 hematopoietic stem cell transplants are performed around the world every year. However, HSCT treatment time is long and the treatment methods are complex, and it has a significant impact on the patient's body and mind. Foreign studies have shown that using mobile technology for cancer symptom monitoring and self-care can effectively improve cancer patients' doctor-patient communication, symptom management, and self-care abilities. There are only 7 articles on foreign HSCT-related APPs or online smart projects. Purpose: To evaluate the use of an integrated interactive self-care APP in hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients Methods: This study is a two-stage explanatory qualitative mixed study. The quantitative study in the second year adopts a non-randomized experimental research design. Pre-test and formal testing are repeated in two groups. The experimental group (APP) will be admitted first according to the patient's wishes. The number of participants will then be included in the control group. Each group is expected to receive 40 subjects. The experimental group will receive general routine care plus the use of an integrated interactive self-care APP. The control group will receive general routine care and will be filled out at 8-time points before and after transplantation. Self-efficacy, self-compassion, and resilience questionnaire.
