Abstract

There are few published case studies qualitatively analyzing the clinical progress of cancer patients participating in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) in detail. The present qualitative case study purported to show the effects of Korean Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (K-MBSR) on salivatory cortisol, CRP, blood pressure, sleep quality, anxiety, depression, & mindfulness skills in cancer patients diagnosed and treated at a University Hospital. It was expected that the K-MBSR would provide benefits to psychological and physical health. Four patients who participated in 8 or more sessions of K-MBSR were selected for the case study, and a detailed quantitative analysis was carried out on the process of the treatment sessions. The K-MBSR program, adapted by Chang Hyun-Gab, consists of informal meditation (eating meditation, walking meditation) and formal meditation (body scan, breathing meditation, soft hatha yoga). The dependent measures employed were the KIMS mindfulness scale, BDI, BAI, PSQI, and salivary cortisol. The patients participated in 90-minute weekly sessions, and were required to perform homework of practicing meditation daily at home for at least 6 days, utilizing the provided handout on soft hatha yoga and meditation instruction audio-tape. In addition, participants were expected to write a meditation practice diary, to be presented in the subsequent session. The results seem to show the significant benevolent effects on salivatory cortisol, blood pressure, sleep quality, anxiety and depression.
