The practice of mindfulness during patient care can potentially reduce suffering. We aimed to examine the efficacy of mindfulness-based supportive therapy (MBST) on reducing suffering in patients with advanced cancer.\nMETHODS: We conducted a parallel-group, single-blinded, randomised controlled trial at the University of Malaya Medical Centre, Malaysia. Seventy-three patients with advanced cancer with an overall suffering score ≥4/10 based on the Suffering Pictogram were recruited and randomly assigned into either the MBST group (n=34) or the control group (n=39).\nRESULTS: There was a statistically significant reduction in the overall suffering score in the MBST group compared with the control group (U=432.5, median1=-2.0, median2=-1.0, z=-2.645, p=0.008). There was also significant improvement in the total Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale score (U=483.5, median1=-4.0, median2=-3.0, z=-1.994, p=0.046), and the total Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Spiritual Well-Being score (U=252.0, median1=+14.5, median2=+5.0, z=-4.549, p=0.000) in the MBST group compared with the control group.\nCONCLUSIONS: The results provided evidence that the practice of MBST during patient care could promote positive psychosocial outcomes.","tracks":[{"project":"maxiaofeng52_800_3","denotations":[{"id":"T1","span":{"begin":76,"end":91},"obj":"DP"},{"id":"T2","span":{"begin":174,"end":189},"obj":"DP"},{"id":"T3","span":{"begin":392,"end":407},"obj":"DP"},{"id":"T4","span":{"begin":575,"end":590},"obj":"DP"}],"attributes":[{"subj":"T1","pred":"source","obj":"maxiaofeng52_800_3"},{"subj":"T2","pred":"source","obj":"maxiaofeng52_800_3"},{"subj":"T3","pred":"source","obj":"maxiaofeng52_800_3"},{"subj":"T4","pred":"source","obj":"maxiaofeng52_800_3"}]},{"project":"wangzhuo19_800_3","denotations":[{"id":"T5","span":{"begin":76,"end":91},"obj":"DP"},{"id":"T6","span":{"begin":174,"end":189},"obj":"DP"},{"id":"T7","span":{"begin":392,"end":407},"obj":"DP"},{"id":"T8","span":{"begin":575,"end":590},"obj":"DP"}],"attributes":[{"subj":"T5","pred":"source","obj":"wangzhuo19_800_3"},{"subj":"T6","pred":"source","obj":"wangzhuo19_800_3"},{"subj":"T7","pred":"source","obj":"wangzhuo19_800_3"},{"subj":"T8","pred":"source","obj":"wangzhuo19_800_3"}]}],"config":{"attribute types":[{"pred":"source","value type":"selection","values":[{"id":"maxiaofeng52_800_3","color":"#a293ec","default":true},{"id":"wangzhuo19_800_3","color":"#9dec93"}]}]}}
