“…Overall, there is a lack of inclusivity of diverse samples within the mindfulness-based intervention literature ( Nagy et al, 2022 ) and while mindfulness is an inherently equitable and accessible practice, it is not delivered equitably across groups ( Bautista et al, 2022 ). The MMWR program is a culturally adapted and tested mindfulness-based intervention with documented efficacy among ethnic and racially diverse women with SUD and PTSD.…”

Satisfaction with an intervention influences the uptake of behavior changes and the long-term efficacy of the intervention. Therefore, it is crucial to assess satisfaction by participant profile when creating and adapting behavior interventions for minoritized populations. Qualitative and quantitative data on participant trauma symptom severity and intervention satisfaction were collected through self-report surveys from 54 women. The sample was 59.3% Hispanic, with an average age of 33.21 (SD = 10.42), who were in residential treatment for substance use disorders (SUDs) and participated in a 12-session mindfulness-based intervention. Qualitative responses were coded using thematic analysis, and an integrative mixed-methods approach was used to compare qualitative theme frequency between high-trauma (N = 28) and low-trauma (N = 26) groups at session 2 and session 11. High- and low-trauma groups were determined by interquartile ranges (bottom 25% = low; top 75% = high). In session 2, the low-trauma group reported significantly higher satisfaction (M = 4.20, SD = 0.55) than the high-trauma group (M = 3.77, SD = 0.89); t(43) = 1.90, p = 0.03. In session 11, there was no significant difference between groups. The mixed-methods analysis revealed that “trouble focusing” appeared more frequently in the high-trauma group than in the low-trauma group during session 2, but the theme was not present in either group at session 11, suggesting that this might pose an initial barrier for individuals with high trauma but subsides as the intervention progresses. This speaks to the importance of retention strategies tailored for participants with SUDs and high trauma while they adjust to the intervention. Assessing initial challenges with satisfaction may help facilitators intervene to increase participant satisfaction.

This article explores the evolving landscape of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) delivery within cancer care, highlighting key innovations aimed at enhancing accessibility, engagement, and relevance for patients. Traditional delivery methods of MBSR face challenges related to mobility, geography, and time constraints, which can limit patient participation. In response, integrating digital platforms, such as online programs and mobile apps, has emerged as a crucial development, making mindfulness training more accessible to a wider audience of cancer patients. Exploration into varied group formats is another innovation reshaping MBSR delivery. By adjusting the scale and intimacy of group settings, these formats aim to provide tailored community support and individual attention, enriching the participant experience. Hybrid models that combine in-person and digital sessions are gaining traction, offering the flexibility to meet diverse patient needs and preferences. Additionally, the development of tailored MBSR programs designed specifically for different types of cancer, stages of disease, and treatment phases addresses the need for more personalized mindfulness training. These adaptations ensure that MBSR remains a relevant and powerful tool in the comprehensive care of cancer patients. The future of MBSR in cancer care is marked by significant innovation and expanded integration into standard oncology practices, promising to enhance the holistic well-being of patients through evidence-based, compassionate care. These advancements signal a shift towards more adaptable, patient-centered approaches to mindfulness training in oncology settings.

Background/Objective Few Spanish mindfulness interventions have been evaluated in Latinx patients with cancer. We culturally adapted a mindfulness intervention for Spanish speaking Latinx patients. The objective was to measure feasibility and acceptability as primary outcomes, with changes in anxiety, depression, and sleep as secondary outcomes. Method Spanish-speaking Latinx patients with breast cancer (n = 31) were randomized, between April 2021 and May 2022 to either intervention or wait-list control groups. The mindfulness intervention consisted of 6-weekly 1.5-hour sessions remotely delivered by a novice facilitator. Cultural adaptations included language, metaphor, goal, concept, trauma informed, and acknowledgement of spirituality. Feasibility was benchmarked as 75% of participants attending their first session, 75% of participants completing 4 of 6 sessions, and scoring ≥ 4 on a 5-point Likert feasability scale measuring ability to implement changes after 6-weeks. Acceptability was measured as scoring ≥ 4 on a 5-point Likert scale measuring usefulness and relevance of the mindfulness intervention for each session. An intention-to-treat, linear mixed model with repeated measures analysis examined changes in anxiety, depression, and sleep at week 6 and 18 (3 months post intervention). Results All three feasibility benchmarks were met with 75% of first session attendance, 96% of participants completing 4 of 6 sessions, and 94% scoring ≥ 4, on the feasibility scale (Mean (SD) = 4.3 (0.6)). Acceptability scores for both usefulness and relevance questions were ≥ 4 across all 6 sessions. Anxiety was significantly reduced at 3 months (−3.6 (CI -6.9, −0.2), P = .04), but is of unclear clinical significance given the small change. Depression scores declined, but not significantly, and there were no changes in sleep. Conclusion This culturally adapted, remotely delivered mindfulness intervention using a novice facilitator was acceptable and feasible and demonstrated associated reductions in anxiety amongst Spanish speaking Latinx patients with breast cancer. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov ID# NCT04834154.
