Weathering storms: a cohort study of how participation in a mindfulness-based stress reduction program benefits women after breast cancer treatment

摘要

IntroductionA growing number of psychosocial interventions are being offered to cancer patients during and after their medical treatment. Here, we examined whether Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (mbsr), a stress management course, helps women to cope better with stress and illness once their breast cancer treatment is completed. Our aim was to understand how mbsr may benefit those who participate in the course.
