Summary
AI-generated from the abstractA secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial examined long-term outcomes, moderators, and predictors in online mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) for people with cancer. The analysis found that improvements in psychological outcomes were maintained at long-term follow-up, with certain baseline characteristics moderating or predicting response. The authors suggest that online MBCT can have lasting benefits for cancer patients, though they note variability in individual outcomes.
