Effectiveness and Cost-Effectiveness of an App-Based Mindfulness Breast Care Program for Reducing Body Image Distress and Stigma Among Survivors of Breast Cancer: Randomized Controlled Trial
Overview
This randomized controlled trial evaluates an app-based mindfulness breast care program designed to reduce body image distress and stigma among breast cancer survivors in China. The study compares a three-month intervention combining mindfulness yoga, practices, and educational resources against routine care alone, measuring outcomes such as mental well-being and quality-adjusted life years. Results indicate statistically significant improvements in body image distress, stigma, and mental well-being for the intervention group, alongside cost-effectiveness analysis suggesting potential scalability.
