Feasibility, Acceptability and Effectiveness of Modified Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) for Smoking Cessation in Cancer Patients
This is a study designed to mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR) training program to
assess feasibility and acceptability of the intervention. Participants will participate in a
9-week training program and complete pre-and post-questionnaires. Participants will have the
option of participating in a follow-up focus group.
assess feasibility and acceptability of the intervention. Participants will participate in a
9-week training program and complete pre-and post-questionnaires. Participants will have the
option of participating in a follow-up focus group.
The investigators will introduce a mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR) training program
at Boston Medical Center's oncology clinic to promote engagement of low-income and minority
smokers with cancer in smoking cessation. This training will follow an adapted MBSR
curriculum designed by and for Boston Medical Center patients with chronic pain in the
Integrated Medical Group Visit research program in Family Medicine. The investigators will
tailor this adapted MBSR curriculum to address smoking cessation. To test the feasibility and
acceptability of our intervention, the investigators will pilot test it with 30 patients over
the course of three MBSR training programs (each cohort is 9 weeks). The investigators will
acquire feasibility data (number of inquiries, number of sessions attended, and satisfaction
with MBSR). Additionally, pre and post questionnaires will assess readiness to quit, stress
level, and satisfaction with and acceptability of MBSR after every cohort). The primary
outcome is engagement in smoking cessation treatment which includes counseling and/or
pharmacotherapy. Additionally, the investigators will hold a focus group after each of the 3
cohorts have completed the program to discuss acceptability of study materials as well as
facilitators and barriers to participation in the training. Data collected from this study
will generate preliminary data to successfully justify and secure future funding for a larger
controlled study.
