Summary

This trial is testing a mindfulness program to see if it can help Latina breast cancer patients with anxiety and depression.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Spanish-speaking Latinas who have had breast cancer treatment or endocrine therapy in the last year. They must identify as having anxiety, depression, or sleep disturbances and be able to sign consent. It's not for those with other diagnoses besides invasive breast cancer, non-Spanish speakers, certain mental health conditions, inability to attend sessions, or current participation in similar programs.
What is being tested?
The study tests a mindfulness program translated into Spanish and delivered by a trained community health worker. Its cultural acceptability and feasibility are evaluated alongside its effectiveness at reducing anxiety and depression among Latina breast cancer patients.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves a mindfulness program rather than medication, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort when discussing personal experiences during group sessions.
