[Mindfulness, depression, quality of life, and cancer: The nonlinear, indirect effect of mindfulness on the quality of life of cancer patients].
This study investigates the relationships between mindfulness, depression, and quality of life (QoL) in cancer patients. ⋯ Cancer patients benefit from mindfulness up to a medium level through a decrease in depression, resulting in higher QoL. Patients with very higher mindfulness show more depressive symptoms, which leads to a neutralization of the effect of mindfulness on QoL.
