Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Emerging evidence suggests that both extending kindness towards others and self-kindness practices may have beneficial effects on well-being. This randomized pilot clinical trial will investigate the efficacy of two kindness interventions -acts of kindness (to self or to other) and loving-kindness meditation- for use with early-stage breast cancer survivors.
