ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how meditation can help mothers of children with cancer feel stronger and more spiritually connected. It focuses on mothers whose children, aged 6 to 18 years, have been diagnosed with cancer and have received at least one round of chemotherapy. The goal is to see if meditation can improve their ability to cope with the stress and challenges that come with their child's illness. Eligible participants should be able to speak and understand Turkish and be willing to take part in the study.

If you join this trial, you can expect to learn and practice meditation techniques that may help you feel more resilient and improve your overall well-being. The study aims to provide support to mothers during a very difficult time, helping them manage feelings of anxiety, stress, and fatigue. It’s important to note that mothers who have communication difficulties or whose children are in critical stages of illness will not be included in this study.
