Easing Scan Anxiety in Pediatric Oncology Caregivers Through Meditation-based Programs (NCT07420101)
A Mindfulness Approach to Scanxiety
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
"Scanxiety" is a term coined to describe anxiety related to imaging during cancer treatment and has not been robustly studied in pediatric oncology caregivers. Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is a meditation-based program that offers a non-pharmacologic approach to managing stress. The main purposes of this study are two-fold: 1). to determine if scanxiety exists in the caregivers of pediatric oncology patients and 2.) if scanxiety is found, does the implementation of a mindfulness program help to improve caregiver anxiety related to imaging.
