A Persian version of the Relaxation, Meditation, and Mindfulness Experiences Tracker Questionnaire (RMMtm 3.1) was adapted and tested with Iranian cancer patients. The cross-sectional study, conducted in hospitals in southeastern Iran, found the questionnaire has strong psychometric properties. A six-factor structure—mindful transcendence, relaxation, emotion, focus/awareness, quiet, and action—explained 72.387% of the variance. Reliability was high, with Cronbach's alpha values from 0.802 to 0.89. The authors conclude the instrument is reliable for assessing relaxation, meditation, and mindfulness experiences in this population.
