Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Breast surgery and follow-up treatment for breast cancer patients are accompanied by side effects, which have a negative impact on both the mental health and quality of life of breast cancer survivors. At present, mindfulness is regarded as an effective way to improve psychological problems. Mindfulness based interventions are common means to improve the depression, anxiety of breast cancer patients. This paper reviews the mindfulness based interventions related to breast cancer, and studies the impact of MBSR, MBCT and MBAT in MBI on breast cancer patients. The results showed that MBI had a positive effect on depression, anxiety in breast cancer patients. This review found that the intervention time and the participation of breast cancer patients played an important role in the intervention effect.
