A brief 4-week mindfulness-based intervention reduced psychological distress and restored positive psychological functioning in young women recovering from hysterectomy. Before the intervention, all 16 participants reported mild-to-severe distress and very low positive functioning. After treatment, the 8 women who received the intervention showed distress levels returning to normal, while the 8 women in the no-treatment control group continued to have elevated distress.
