Meditative slow breathing or Isha Kriya meditation may help to decrease perceived stress and enhance well-being in hospitalized cancer participants.
详细描述
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Test the feasibility of the meditation practice.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Explore the acceptability of meditation in cancer patients through modified Global Symptom Evaluation (GSE) and on day 7 +/- 1 day and day 28 +/- 3 days.
II. Explore the effect of meditative practices in cancer patients through Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale (ESAS) on the day of enrolment and a weekly basis until the end of study at four weeks.
