A randomized pilot study of mindfulness‐based stress reduction in a young adult cancer sample: Feasibility, acceptability, and changes in patient reported outcomes

Abstract

Our findings suggest that recruitment for an intensive, in-person, multi-week supportive intervention can be challenging with young adults with cancer, similar to other cancer survivor populations; however once enrolled, feasibility and acceptability of MBSR was supported. Further, initial evidence on the role of MBSR on short-term changes in select PROs with this population was also demonstrated.
