Brief Summary:
This pilot clinical trial studies how well brief mindful mediation practice works in improving quality of life in patients with cancer undergoing radiation therapy. Brief mindful mediation practice may improve the well-being and quality of life of patients with cancer who are undergoing radiation therapy by increasing levels of mindfulness and reducing stress, anxiety/depression, and fatigue.
Detailed Description:
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To investigate the feasibility of a clinical trial using a brief mindful meditation practice during radiation therapy.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To explore the measurable changes in quality of life, fatigue, and mindfulness while using a brief mindful meditation practice during radiation therapy.
OUTLINE:
Patients use brief mindful meditation practice (sitting meditation in which the mind is guided to focus in the present, thinking of your existence, and allowing sensations to arise with an openness and curiosity) over 12 minutes daily for 14 days during radiation therapy.
After completion of study, patients are followed up 4-12 weeks after completion of radiation therapy.
