“… 58 , 59 A systematic review and meta-analysis found that MBIs led to a statistically significant reduction in cancer-related fatigue (CRF) score among cancer patients (SMD = -0.51, 95%CI [−0.81–0.20]), 59 especially among lung cancer patients. 60 Apart from CRF, a range of other outcomes such as improvements in sleep disturbances, pain and other psychological symptoms including anxiety, depression, fear of cancer recurrence were also found in another systematic review and meta-analysis. 61 Overall, although MBIs appeared effective in reducing CRF and other symptoms, further high-quality studies are still required to provide additional insights and to confirm the existing evidence.…”

Introduction This is an overall review on mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs). Sources of data We identified studies in PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, AMED, Web of Science and Google Scholar using keywords including ‘mindfulness’, ‘meditation’, and ‘review’, ‘meta-analysis’ or their variations. Areas of agreement MBIs are effective for improving many biopsychosocial conditions, including depression, anxiety, stress, insomnia, addiction, psychosis, pain, hypertension, weight control, cancer-related symptoms and prosocial behaviours. It is found to be beneficial in the healthcare settings, in schools and workplace but further research is warranted to look into its efficacy on different problems. MBIs are relatively safe, but ethical aspects should be considered. Mechanisms are suggested in both empirical and neurophysiological findings. Cost-effectiveness is found in treating some health conditions. Areas of controversy Inconclusive or only preliminary evidence on the effects of MBIs on PTSD, ADHD, ASD, eating disorders, loneliness and physical symptoms of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and respiratory conditions. Furthermore, some beneficial effects are not confirmed in subgroup populations. Cost-effectiveness is yet to confirm for many health conditions and populations. Growing points Many mindfulness systematic reviews and meta-analyses indicate low quality of included studies, hence high-quality studies with adequate sample size and longer follow-up period are needed. Areas timely for developing research More research is needed on online mindfulness trainings and interventions to improve biopsychosocial health during the COVID-19 pandemic; Deeper understanding of the mechanisms of MBIs integrating both empirical and neurophysiological findings; Long-term compliance and effects of MBIs; and development of mindfulness plus (mindfulness+) or personalized mindfulness programs to elevate the effectiveness for different purposes.

“…Weitere Übersichtarbeiten zeigen kurz-bis mittelfristig signifikante Effekte von Meditations-und Achtsamkeitsinterventionen auf Angst und Depression (durchschnittliche Effektstärken [ES]: 0,28-0,61) [15][16][17][18][19] sowie Fatigue (ES: 0,28-0,66) [15,17,18,20] und Stresswahrnehmung (ES: 0,33-0,58) [15,17,18,21] bei Krebspatient*innen. Dass die Stimmung beziehungsweise das emo-tionale Wohlbefinden kurz-bis mittelfristig verbessert werden konnte (ES: 0,42-1,01), zeigen zwei Übersichtsarbeiten an [18,21].…”

“…Allerdings scheinen etablierte Methoden, die einem festen Ablauf folgen und Patient*innen zusätzlich Materialen wie Handbücher oder Audiodateien herausgeben (z.B. MBSR-Kurse), sowie von therapeutischem Personal begleitete Interventionen wirksamer zu sein [20,33]. Besonders hervorgehoben wurde in einigen Studien auch die Relevanz der Gruppe: Gruppenbasierte Meditations-und Achtsamkeitsinterventionen scheinen nicht nur den Lernprozess zu erleichtern, sondern auch eine Atmosphäre zu schaffen, die die erlebte soziale Unterstützung der Teilnehmenden fördert [31,33].…”

ZusammenfassungMenschen, die von einer Krebserkrankung betroffen sind, leiden neben körperlichen Beschwerden häufig an psychischen Symptomen wie Angst, Depression und Stress. Psychoonkologische Interventionen zur Unterstützung des Selbstmanagements, Stärkung der Selbstwirksamkeit und Förderung weiterer psychischer Ressourcen sind auf Seiten der Betroffenen von immer größerer Bedeutung. Die derzeitige Evidenz unterstützt die Annahme, dass Meditations- und Achtsamkeitsinterventionen, als ein Element in der Mind-Body-Medizin, wirksam in der supportiven Onkologie eingesetzt werden können. Neben persönlich vermittelten Interventionen erscheinen auch Online-Interventionen (eHealth) in diesem Zusammenhang vielversprechend.

“…As a result, MBSR program enable participants to step back from ruminating about the past or worrying about the future and simply unfold experiences of the present moment (21). MBSR has been demonstrated to be effective in relieving symptom burden and improving psychosocial adjustment to disease and QoL to date (18,19,24,25). Some studies also tried to investigate the effects of MBSR in lung cancer patients (26,27) and other lung diseases such as interstitial lung diseases (28,29).…”

“…Some studies also tried to investigate the effects of MBSR in lung cancer patients (26,27) and other lung diseases such as interstitial lung diseases (28,29). However, the systematic review and meta-analysis specifically for lung cancer patients is greatly limited except for one meta-analysis which investigated the effects of MBSR on fatigue among lung cancer with subgroup analysis (24).…”

The use of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) for lung cancer patients: protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis

Background: Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) intervention has been extensively applied in cancer patients for relieving symptom burden and its effectiveness has also been demonstrated. However, the effectiveness of MBSR on psychological and physical functions in lung cancer patients has not yet been determined. The aim of the present systematic review and meta-analysis seeks to determine the role of MBSR in lung cancer patients.Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and China National Knowledgement Infrastructure (CNKI) will be carried out from their inception until to December 30, 2020. Studies investigating the comparative effects between MBSR and control groups on psychological and physical outcomes will be documented. Data concerning studies, patient characteristics, and outcomes will be extracted. Methodological quality of each eligible randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be assessed individually by two investigators independently using criteria recommended in the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions 5.1.0. Meanwhile, Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale (NOS) will be used to assess methodological quality of non-randomized studies. All statistical analyses will be performed with RevMan and STATA softwares.Discussion: The role of MBSR in lung cancer patients has not yet been demonstrated. This systematic review and meta-analysis will further determine the effectiveness of MBSR on psychological and physical outcomes and QoL among lung cancer patients, which will provide golden references for developing psychological interventions in order to improve patient care and designing future studies to bridge the gap between research findings and clinical practice. Trial registration:We registered the protocol of this systematic review and meta-analysis in Open Science Framework (OSF) platform with a registration DOI of 10.17605/OSF.IO/MWVBQ (available from: https:// osf.io/mwvbq).
