What this trial studies

This clinical trial invites breast cancer patients to participate in a randomized trial assessing two digital interventions aimed at managing stress: cognitive based stress management (CBSM) and mindfulness based intervention (MBI). Participants will first complete a health-related quality of life (HRQoL) assessment before being randomly assigned to one of the intervention groups or a control group. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of these digital interventions in reducing stress levels and improving HRQoL among breast cancer patients compared to the control group.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide effective digital tools for stress management that enhance the quality of life for breast cancer patients.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in using digital interventions for stress management in cancer patients, indicating potential success for this approach.
