Study population: Local patients receiving allogeneic bone marrow transplant.

Brief summary: RATIONALE: Questionnaires that measure coping may improve the ability to plan supportive care for patients undergoing donor bone marrow transplant.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying coping in patients who are undergoing a donor bone marrow transplant.

Detailed description: OBJECTIVES:

* Investigate the relative importance of having a consistent inpatient lay care-partner for patients undergoing allogeneic bone marrow transplantation, in terms of the effects on modes of adjustment to illness and survival.

OUTLINE: Patients undergo a 40-minute recorded oral interview in person to provide personal and social demographic data using a 20-item questionnaire (The Adjustment to Illness Questionnaire-Bone Marrow Transplantation) at baseline (pre-transplant) and at day 100 post-transplant.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 40 patients will be accrued for this study.

Eligibility criteria: DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

* Medically suitable for allogeneic bone marrow transplantation

PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:

* Resides locally in the Cleveland, Ohio area

PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:

* Not specified

Primary outcomes:
measure: Compare modes of illness adjustment, presence or absence of an inpatient lay care-partner, and survival rates
timeFrame: Through 100 days post transplant
Secondary outcomes:
