What this research studies
You would use an app and website called Quédate Tranquila that teaches practical stress-coping skills and mindfulness through short videos, testimonials, and mobile tools designed for busy Hispanic women. The program is built using the Transactional Model of Stress and is tailored to the daily responsibilities and cultural context of Hispanic women. Developers will work with Hispanic women to shape the content and make the app easy to use in real life. The team will pilot and refine the program while measuring changes in mood, stress, and related health indicators.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Adult Hispanic women (age 18 and older), including breast cancer survivors, who report high everyday stress are the ideal candidates.
Not a fit: People who are not Hispanic women, lack regular access to a smartphone or the internet, or who do not have elevated stress levels may not benefit from this program.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could lower stress and reduce related risks like depression, cardiovascular problems, and diabetes among Hispanic women.
How similar studies have performed: Cognitive-behavioral stress management and mindfulness programs have reduced stress in Hispanic groups before, but mobile, culturally tailored versions for Hispanic women are newer and less tested.
