Background summary
Living to the full is already investigated in people with mild anxiety and
mooddisorders in general population. These studies showed positive results, as
well in training as in blended form. Well being increased, distress decreased.
It is not clear yet if these results can even be finded in
breastcancerpatients.
Study objective
Aim of this study is getting a first indication from the effects described
above (decrease distress, increase wellbeing). We will investigate if the
effects found in general population even can be found in breastcancer patients
and if there is a ground to set up an RCT in and implement the program in
clinical practice.
Study design
It's a prospective study without a controlgroup. We will include 50 patients.
Intervention

will be also planned five face to face contacts with a psychologist at the
department Medical Psychology in CWZ on fixed moments: at the start, three
times during the training and at the end of the training.
