What the study is about

Many breast cancer survivors (estimated 70% in some studies) experience clinically significant depression and/or anxiety in the months and years after finishing cancer treatments. This research will build on the rigor of prior research to reduce breast cancer survivor depression and anxiety with a compassion meditation intervention called CBCT (Cognitively-Based Compassion Training) for online synchronous delivery that is also inclusive of informal caregivers (i.e., adult family members who live with and typically provide half the care for survivors, aka supportive partners).

Being studied: Cognitively-Based Compassion Training for Survivors; Cognitively-Based Compassion Training for Dyads; Health Education

Conditions: Breast Cancer Female; Psychological Distress
