Data included psychosocial questionnaires, anthropometrics, actigraphy, and blood draws. Clinic visits occurred at baseline, post-intervention, and a 3-month post-follow-up.Results: Compared to baseline, the intervention arm displayed reductions in sedentary time and perceived stress and improvements in subjective sleep quality, and daily steps at post-follow-up.Conclusions: An abbreviated mindfulness intervention in feasible in cancer survivors and signs of efficacy warrant further mindfulness studies among this population.
