Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Psychological Distress, Fear of Cancer Recurrence, Fatigue, Spiritual Well-Being, and Quality of Life in Patients With Breast Cancer—A Randomized Controlled Trial
Open accessAbstract
Context Mindfulness-based interventions have been receiving growing attention in cancer care.Objectives The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to examine the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) for psychological distress (anxiety and depression), fear of cancer recurrence (FCR), fatigue, spiritual well-being, and quality of life (QOL) in Japanese ambulatory patients with Stage I-III breast cancer.Methods A total of 74 patients were randomly assigned to either an eight-week MBCT intervention group (n = 38) or a wait-list control group (n = 36). The primary outcome was psychological distress, measured on Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. The secondary outcomes were FCR (Concerns About Recurrence Scale-overall anxiety subscale), fatigue (Brief Fatigue Inventory), spiritual well-being (Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Spiritual), QOL (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General), and mindfulness skills (Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire). The participants were assessed at baseline (T0), Week 8 (T1), and Week 12 (T2). The results were analyzed using a intention-to-treat linear mixed model.Results The participants in the MBCT group experienced significantly better outcomes in their psychological distress (Cohen's d = 1.17; P < 0.001), FCR (d = 0.43; P < 0.05), fatigue (d = 0.66; P < 0.01), spiritual well-being (d = 0.98; P < 0.001), and QOL (d = 0.79; P < 0.001) compared with the control group. The difference remained significant at T2 (four weeks after completion of the intervention).Conclusion MBCT was demonstrated to improve well-being that encompasses psychological, physical, and spiritual domains in Japanese patients with nonmetastatic breast cancer. The favorable effect was maintained up to four weeks after the completion of the intervention.

“Park et al. found in a group of nonmetastatic, Japanese participants that those who were provided an 8-week course of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) had significantly better outcomes in psychological distress, fatigue, spiritual well-being, and quality of life than the study’s wait-list control group [25].”

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.
