Peaceful acceptance and struggle with terminal cancer: The role of mindfulness, self-compassion, and body image distress
Overview
This cross-sectional study examines how mindfulness, self-compassion, and body image distress relate to peaceful acceptance or struggle with illness in 135 terminally ill cancer patients. The results indicate that body image distress is negatively associated with peaceful acceptance, while self-compassion is negatively associated with struggle with illness. The authors suggest these findings highlight distinct clinical pathways for acceptance and struggle, providing a basis for future interventions tailored to body image and self-compassion.
