Summary
This study tested whether an 8-week online positive psychology program could help women who finished breast cancer treatment feel less afraid of the cancer coming back. 38 women took part, with half attending weekly group sessions on gratitude, optimism, and savoring good moments. The goal was to see if these techniques could lower their fear scores compared to women who received no extra support.
