A 6-week internet-delivered Mantram Repetition Program (MRP) was feasible and acceptable for women recently treated for breast cancer, with 86% adherence and 19.2% attrition. Pooled pre-to-post-intervention data showed decreased perceived stress and increased spiritual well-being. Cytokine analysis revealed that IFN-γ and IL-17A increased in the waitlisted group and decreased in the treatment group. The findings suggest MRP may reduce perceived stress and support spiritual well-being, but further studies are needed.
