A six-week group-based mindfulness intervention was feasible and accepted by patients who had undergone allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for hematologic cancer. After the intervention, the 13 participants who completed the program reported significant decreases in anxious preoccupation about cancer and in physical functioning, along with a significant increase in perceived functional wellbeing. Large effect sizes were observed for the reductions in anxious preoccupation. Qualitative feedback highlighted that participants valued the social support from the group format and suggested offering the intervention both before and after transplant.
