Summary

This trial tests a mindfulness program that blends stress-reduction techniques with Christian principles to improve well-being in Black adult cancer survivors. Participants take part in a silent mindfulness retreat, focus groups, interviews, and questionnaires. The study measures changes in spiritual well-being and quality of life to see if this faith-based approach offers extra support.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
A mindfulness-based stress reduction program adapted to include Christian principles
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a culturally tailored way to improve spiritual well-being and quality of life for Black cancer survivors.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 65 participants, so results may not apply to all survivors. The program's added Christian focus may not benefit everyone.
