ABSTRACT
Purpose:

Cancer survivors (n = 36) underwent a 4-week mindfulness intervention compared to a breathing control. Data included psychosocial questionnaires, anthropometrics, actigraphy, and blood draws. Clinic visits occurred at baseline, post-intervention, and a 3-month post-follow-up.Results:
Compared to baseline, the intervention arm displayed reductions in sedentary time and perceived stress and improvements in subjective sleep quality, and daily steps at post-follow-up.Conclusions:
An abbreviated mindfulness intervention in feasible in cancer survivors and signs of efficacy warrant further mindfulness studies among this population.Palavras-chave
