Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study aims to evaluate the effect of video-assisted mindfulness-based breathing on quality of life and mental well-being in individuals with breast cancer. Breast cancer patients often experience physical and psychological challenges that negatively affect their quality of life. Mindfulness-based breathing is a simple, non-invasive method that may help reduce stress and improve well-being. In this randomized controlled study, participants will be assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group will receive a face-to-face breathing training session and will practice daily mindfulness-based breathing exercises using a 5-minute video for 6 weeks. The control group will receive routine care. Outcomes will be measured at baseline and after 6 weeks using validated scales assessing quality of life and mental well-being. This study aims to provide evidence for a simple and accessible supportive care method for individuals with breast cancer.

- Baseline and 6 weeks after randomization
- description
- Quality of life will be assessed using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) and the breast cancer-specific module (EORTC QLQ-BR23). Scores range from 0 to 100. Higher scores on global health status and functional scales indicate better quality of life, while higher scores on symptom scales indicate greater symptom burden.
