What this Trial Is About
Breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy often face significant physical and emotional symptoms, with stress contributing to symptom severity. This study investigates the effectiveness of a mindfulness-based virtual reality (VR) intervention in reducing stress and symptom severity. A total of 60 participants will be stratified and randomized into three groups: mindfulness-based VR, mindfulness-based audio, and control. Data will be analyzed using generalized estimating equations and machine learning. The goal is to improve understanding and quality of care for cancer patients by evaluating the potential benefits of mindfulness-based VR interventions.
