Mindfulness Intervention to Improve Symptomology Among Cancer Survivors; Focus on Sleep and Stress Improvement

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Cancer Sequelae

In brief

Mindfulness has been shown to help stress, fatigue, sleep complaints, and other symptoms but has not been extensively studied in cancer survivors. This study will enroll cancer survivors at the Greenville Health System Cancer Institute Center for Integrative Oncology and Survivorship to undergo the Mindfulness Based Cancer Survivorship (MBCS) four-week program, with assessments before, immediately after, and three months after the intervention. Results of the study will be used to develop new care models that improve cancer survivor stress and symptoms using mindfulness.
