Study Description

Brief Summary: This trial studies how well a mind-body intervention works in improving overall quality of life in adolescents and young adults with lymphoma. A meditation based mind-body intervention may help lower distress, depressive symptoms, and anxiety in adolescents and young adults coping with lymphoma.

Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. Examine the feasibility of the mind-body intervention in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with lymphoma. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: I. Establish the initial intervention efficacy regarding psychological distress and cancer symptoms (tertiary objective) relative to an attention control (AC) group. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE: I. Explore mediation (e.g., mindfulness, compassion, social connection, inflammatory processes) and moderation (e.g., demographic and medical factors) of the intervention effects. OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 groups. GROUP I: Patients attend meditation group sessions over 75 minutes once weekly for up to 5 weeks. GROUP II: Patients attend educational group sessions over 75 minutes once weekly for up to 5 weeks. After completion of study intervention, patients are followed at 6 and 12 weeks.
