Summary

This study tested a 9-session virtual mind-body program (SMART-3RP) to see if it helps caregivers of cancer survivors feel less stressed and more resilient. It compared the program to a standard online support group. The trial enrolled 94 participants and focused on whether the program was feasible and acceptable, not on proving it works.
