Summary

Psychosocial distress is common in patients with an oncologic diagnosis, with anxiety being present in almost 20-30% of the patients.\[1, 2, 10\] Mindfulness exercises have shown to reduce this distress.\[4, 5\]

Recently, the implementation of a 60-second mindfulness-based intervention has shown to have momentary effects on pain, anxiety, depression and anger in orthopaedic upper extremity patients.\[9\] However, its lasting effect after the single intervention was not evaluated. Nonetheless, because the intervention is not time consuming and is easy to implement it may benefit orthopaedic oncology patients in their pre-operative coping.

The implementation of a 60-second mindfulness-based intervention has shown to have momentary effects on pain, anxiety, depression and anger in orthopaedic upper extremity participants. In this research study, the investigators are studying a 60-second interactive personalized acceptance-based mindfulness exercise
