People with multiple sclerosis (PwMS), their care partners, MS clinicians, and mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) instructors identified four key themes for implementing online MBIs: structuring mindfulness to fit daily life, improving clinician awareness and advocacy to build referral pathways, ensuring validating group experiences through diverse participant composition and skilled instructor interactions, and providing resources for sustained engagement. PwMS valued having control to tailor MBIs to their needs and preferred diverse participant groups, though clinician guidance may be needed to foster self-agency. Shared decision-making among all knowledge users can enhance flexible online MBI programming.
