Summary
This pilot study tests whether a virtual mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program can improve mental health in cancer patients living in underserved or rural parts of Minnesota. About 45 participants will take the online course and report changes in stress, anxiety, and mindfulness. The goal is to see if this approach can bridge the gap in mental health care access for those who live far from services.
