Feasibility of the mobile mindfulness‐based stress reduction for breast cancer ( mMBSR(BC) ) program for symptom improvement among breast cancer survivors
Open accessAbstract
Objective: The purpose of this pilot study was to test the feasibility of delivering the mobile mindfulness‐based stress reduction for breast cancer (mMBSR(BC)) program using an iPad and to evaluate its impact on symptom improvement. Methods: A single group, pre‐posttest design was implemented among female stages 0‐III breast cancer survivors (BCS) who completed treatment. Data were collected at baseline and week 6 on measures of psychological and physical symptoms and quality of life. The mMBSR(BC) program is a standardized, stress‐reducing intervention that combines sitting and walking meditation, body scan, and yoga and is designed to deliver weekly 2‐hour sessions for 6 weeks using an iPad. Results: The mean age of the 15 enrolled BCS was 57 years; one participant was non‐Hispanic black, and 14 were non‐Hispanic white. Of the 13 who completed the study, there were significant improvements from baseline to 6 weeks post‐mMBSR(BC) in psychological and physical symptoms of depression, state anxiety, stress, fear of recurrence, sleep quality, fatigue, and quality of life ( P 's < .05). Effect sizes for improvements of multiple symptoms ranged from medium to large. Conclusions: These results provide preliminary support that the mMBSR(BC) program may be feasible and acceptable, showing a clinical impact on decreasing psychological and physical symptoms. This mobile‐based program offers a delivery of a standardized MBSR(BC) intervention to BCS that is convenient for their own schedule while decreasing symptom burden in the survivorship phase after treatment for breast cancer.

Clinician supervision was present in four reviewed studies.
“Clinician supervision to a lesser extent (e.g. asynchronous communication, providing feedback, monitoring, tele coaching if required [34, 40, 42, 49, 56] was present in four studies [34, 40, 42, 49, 56].”
Recent studies have begun to explore the use of technology to replace face-to-face approaches to deliver mindfulness interventions.
“To overcome the challenges of physically attending mindfulness classes, recent studies have begun to explore the use of technology to replace face-to-face approaches to deliver mindfulness interventions [40–42].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
