Nurse-Delivered Adapted MBSR During Breast Cancer Radiotherapy
Sponsor: Alexandria University
Summary
This randomized study examined whether adding a condensed mindfulness programme to standard radiotherapy care could improve psychosocial outcomes among women treated for breast cancer. One hundred participants were assigned to routine care alone or routine care together with the nurse-facilitated programme. Emotional distress, hope, and mindfulness were evaluated before the programme, directly after its completion, and approximately one month later.
