The MEDITATE-BC Study: Mindfulness-Enhanced Decision Intervention To Aid Treatment Election - Breast Cancer

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Breast Cancer, Surgery

In brief

In this study the investigators propose to pilot test a brief, mindfulness shared decision making intervention that begins shortly after receiving a diagnosis of breast cancer. A mindfulness instructor will conduct an hour long session with consented participants before the scheduled surgical appointment. The investigators hypothesize that a mindfulness intervention delivered shortly after receiving a diagnosis of breast cancer may ultimately lead to increased decisional satisfaction and alignment to participant's values and preferences, and decreased anxiety. To measure this endpoint, participants will complete three surveys via REDCap- at baseline, before surgery, and 6 months postoperatively. Surveys will include questions on quality of life, anxiety, and participant satisfaction with the mindfulness program.
