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.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Positive Psychology-Based Educational Program
What this could lead to
If it works, this program could offer a simple, non-drug way to help breast cancer survivors manage their fear of the cancer coming back.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, completed trial with only 38 participants. The results may not apply to all women, and the effect might be short-lived or not better than other support methods.
