| The main aim of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of two elements (compassion and gratitude) within mindfulness based therapy on the quality of life of cancer patients. In order to determine this, the study participants complete various questionnaires in the sense of a pre- and post-survey, respectively before and after the intervention, with the help of which a self-assessment of the quality of life is collected. These are then calculated using the ANOVA statistical method. | — |
