Abstract
The present investigation aims to examine the impact of the mindfulness-based stress reduction program (MBSR) and mindful practice on individuals diagnosed with cancer, drawing upon the extant literature. The MBSR program typically spans over a duration of eight weeks and involves a structured and intensive approach to training individuals in mindfulness meditation techniques. The present investigation examined the Pubmed search engine and identified a total of 1919 studies through the utilization of specific keywords. The scope of the search was narrowed down to encompass solely studies and trials that incorporated mindfulness practices. Qualitative intervention methods, reviews, observational studies, metanalysis, yoga, and dietary modifications were explicitly excluded from consideration. We additionally incorporated investigations with an impact factor equal to or greater than 10. The present study involved the analysis and review of nine studies that have been assigned an impact factor of ten or higher. Participants displayed more serenity; they felt more vibrant, balanced, upbeat, pleased, and emotionally strong. Their enhanced level of acceptance, presence, and perceptiveness in their interpersonal connections resulted in an elevated standard of living.
