Remote Mindfulness Breathing Training for Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy
Effects of Remote Mindfulness Breathing Training on Symptom Distress, Fatigue and Psychological Well-Being in Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy
This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the effects of a mobile-delivered remote mindfulness breathing training program on symptom distress, fatigue, anxiety, and depression in adults with cancer who are receiving chemotherapy.
A total of 80 participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group will complete 5 to 10 minutes of guided mindfulness breathing practice each day for 3 weeks using a mobile-accessible video. The control group will receive usual care and one approximately 5-minute mindfulness breathing instruction session. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline and at the end of the 3-week intervention.

Gedetailleerde beschrijving
This study is a prospective, two-arm, assessor-blinded randomized controlled trial involving adults with any type of cancer who are receiving chemotherapy in inpatient units or at the Tri-Service General Hospital breast surgery outpatient clinic.
After providing written informed consent and completing the baseline assessment, eligible participants will be randomly allocated by computer in a 1:1 ratio to the intervention group or the control group. The intervention group will receive a mobile-delivered remote mindfulness breathing training program and will be instructed to practice with a guided video for approximately 5 to 10 minutes daily for 3 weeks. The control group will receive usual care and one approximately 5-minute mindfulness breathing stress-reduction instruction session.
Study assessments will be conducted before the intervention and at the end of week 3. Symptom distress will be assessed using the National Comprehensive Cancer Network Distress Thermometer, fatigue using the Brief Fatigue Inventory, anxiety using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7, and depression using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9. To reduce measurement bias, the post-intervention assessment will be conducted by a research assistant who is unaware of the participants' group assignments.
