Among 114 adults with neurofibromatosis (NF), a chronic neurogenetic condition that increases risk for poor quality of life, depression, and anxiety, improvements in quality of life were most explained by improved coping, followed by mindfulness and optimism. Improvements in depression and anxiety were most explained by mindfulness, followed by optimism, but were not explained by coping. Targeting mindfulness, coping, and optimism in psychosocial interventions may be a promising way to improve the lives of adults with NF.
