Summary
The overall objective of this project is to explore the feasibility, acceptability and potential effects of the online MBCR program in gynecological cancer settings. This will provide preliminary efficacy data in prevision of a larger, confirmatory, randomized controlled trial. As this study will be one of the first led in a French speaking country and the first conducted in a university hospital environment in Switzerland, the investigators would like to investigate the early implementation of this program among professionals and patients. Furthermore, they will investigate if in the online MBCR group, participants will show improvement in psychosocial outcomes, consumption of psychotropic and opioid medication, spirituality and meaning in life and in different biological processes.

| BEHAVIORAL | Online Mindfulness-Based Cancer Recovery (MBCR) | Mindfulness-Based Cancer Recovery (MBCR) is a standardized group program which focuses primarily on the challenges faced by people living with cancer. It is an 8-week program consisting of weekly group meetings of 1.5 to 2 hours. Home practice of 45 minutes per day (15 min yoga; 30 min meditation) is prescribed. As the weeks progress, different forms of meditation are introduced, beginning with a body scan sensory awareness experience, progressing to sitting and walking meditations. Gentle Hatha yoga is incorporated throughout, as a form of moving meditation. Didactic instruction as well as group discussion and reflection, problem solving and skillful inquiry are commonly applied teaching tools. |
