Existing research underscores the benefits of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) in alleviating psychological distress and improving overall quality of life for cancer patients. However, first-generation MBIs often exclude traditional Buddhist concepts such as impermanence and emptiness, Consequently, this can result in a superficial application that may not fully engage with the underlying causes of psychological distress or promote long-term spiritual and psychological growth.\n\nIn contrast, second-generation MBIs like MAT aim to reintegrate these wisdom principles, potentially offering deeper psycho-spiritual benefits. By incorporating concepts like impermanence and emptiness, these interventions encourage a more holistic understanding and acceptance of life's challenges, fostering meaningful perspectives on illness and enhancing both spiritual and psychological wellbeing. This approach seeks to provide a more comprehensive and transformative experience for individuals, particularly those facing serious health challenges such as cancer.\n\nAims\n\nThe primary aim is to understand the effectiveness of MAT in individuals diagnosed with cancer. The study focuses on:\n\nEvaluating the impact of MAT on reducing psychological distress and enhancing pain management and quality of life.\n\nExploring whether practising Buddhist wisdom concepts can foster meaningful perspectives on illness and life, thereby increasing spiritual wellbeing.\n\nDetermining if MAT participation leads to the establishment of new daily practices and habits among cancer patients.\n\nMethod\n\nThe study employs a mixed-methods approach across three phases:\n\nPhase 1: A quantitative study using a randomised controlled trial (RCT) design. Participants will be divided into an intervention group (MAT) and a treatment-as-usual (TAU) control group. The effectiveness of MAT will be assessed using psychometric scales at multiple time points (baseline, week 4, week 9 post-intervention, and six-month follow-up). Importantly, participants in the TAU group will be offered the MAT intervention after the completion of the RCT, ensuring that all participants have access to the potential benefits of the intervention.\n\nPhase 2: A qualitative exploration using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) to gain insights into participants' lived experiences post-MAT intervention. This phase involves semi-structured interviews conducted at one month and six months post-intervention.\n\nPhase 3: A content analysis of diary entries collected from participants during the intervention to capture real-time reflections and experiences.\n\nExpected Outputs The study aims to provide empirical evidence on the effectiveness of MAT in improving psychological and spiritual wellbeing among cancer patients. It is expected to offer insights into how Buddhist wisdom can be integrated back into clinical mindfulness practices to enhance their impact. The findings could inform clinical practices and contribute to the development of more holistic mindfulness-based interventions for cancer care.\n\nProject Timelines Recruitment: Began in November 2024. Phase 1: The RCT is aimed to begin in the first quarter of 2025, with the intervention lasting 8 weeks, followed by data collection at specified time points.\n\nPhase 2: Conduct interviews at one month and six months post-intervention. Phase 3: Collect and analyse diary entries throughout the 8-week intervention. The entire study is structured to ensure comprehensive data collection and analysis, allowing for both quantitative and qualitative insights into the MAT intervention's impact on cancer patients.",[260,261,31,96,262],"Cancer","Mindfulness-based Intervention","Spiritual Wellbeing",[264,260,265,266,267,268,269,270,271,272,273,274],"mindfulness-based intervention","mental health","wellbeing","spiritual wellbeing","second-generation mindfulness-based intervention","RCT","oncology","psycho-oncology","meditation awareness training","MAT","MBI","2024-11-15",{"date":277,"type":44},"2024-11-19",{"date":279,"type":44},"2024-11-01",{"date":281,"type":22},"2025-10",{"name":283,"class":51},"University of Derby"]
