Effectiveness of Mindfulness-Based Interventions in Reducing Anxiety Symptoms among Pediatric Cancer Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract

Pediatric cancer poses significant physical and psychosocial challenges, with heightened anxiety levels adversely affecting the well-being of young patients. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) offer promising therapeutic avenues, yet their application in pediatric oncology remains underexplored. This study investigates the effectiveness of MBIs in reducing anxiety among pediatric cancer patients, acknowledging the unique psychosocial challenges they face and advocating for a holistic care approach.
