Who is the study for?
This trial is for women over 18 who are about to have abdominal surgery for suspected malignant masses in the reproductive system.

Those with severe psychiatric conditions or suicidal thoughts, or who can't follow study procedures cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two supportive programs delivered remotely: eHealth Mindful Movement and Breathing versus Life Impacts Reflection. It aims to determine which program better improves wellbeing after surgery using PROMIS Questionnaires for assessment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-invasive supportive programs rather than medication, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort when reflecting on life impacts or while practicing mindful movements.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Arm 1 - eHealth Mindful Movement and Breathing Group (eMMB)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will be given access to 20-minute eMMB videos (either saved as a local files on an iPad or via links to watch on their own devices) with written instructions for eMMB and to watch a video at least once before surgery (videos have the same content, one is taught in a bed and one in a chair). The instructor will call participants before surgery to offer guidance upon request and meet with participants individually via a synchronous videoconference or telephone session, postoperative day 1 (the day after surgery), or as soon as feasible.
Group II: Arm 2 Life Impacts Reflection Group (LIR)Active Control2 Interventions
The format for interactions with an LIR interventionist, frequency of recommended home practice (brief diary entries), and home assessments will be matched to the eMMB group. LIR will not include active ingredients of eMMB.
