  • Integrative Oncology
  • Bioethics
  • Mindfulness Studies

Background:

  • Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) show promise for psychological distress in cancer patients.
  • Western adoption of MBIs raises ethical concerns about cultural appropriation and Westernization of Buddhist wisdom.

  • To propose modifications for Westernized MBIs to ensure cultural sensitivity and transparency.

Main Methods:

  • Ethical analysis of Buddhist-informed mindfulness in cancer care.
  • Review of potential issues for patients, practitioners, and researchers.
  • Development of recommendations for culturally sensitive MBI implementation.

Main Results:

  • Practitioners require education on Buddhist philosophy, particularly "Right Mindfulness."
  • Transparent communication about mindfulness origins is crucial for oncology patients.
  • Shared decision-making and trauma-informed approaches are recommended.

Conclusions:

  • Adapting MBIs requires respecting the cultural origins and philosophical depth of mindfulness.
  • Educated practitioners can better support patients with existential questions.
  • Ethical implementation ensures MBIs are beneficial without cultural insensitivity.
