Empowering Multiple Myeloma Patients: Self-Management of Immunomodulatory Drug Treatment

Multiple myeloma, a type of cancer that affects the bone marrow, can be a challenging diagnosis. This research focuses on the self-management of immunomodulatory drug (IMID) treatment for multiple myeloma patients, a crucial aspect of their care and well-being.

Validating a Questionnaire for Self-Management Skills

The study developed and validated a questionnaire to assess the self-management skills of multiple myeloma patients taking IMIDs. This tool helps healthcare professionals identify patients who might need extra support to manage their treatment and potential side effects.
