The practice of mindful eating brings awareness to food choices, brings attention to the eating experience, and encourages selecting and preparing food that is both satisfying and nourishing. We examined mindful eating in breast cancer survivors following a 9-week, multidisciplinary virtual teaching kitchen intervention called Survivors Overcoming and Achieving Resiliency (SOAR). SOAR engaged participants through weekly cooking classes that also taught multiple domains of mindfulness. Participants ( = 102) were breast cancer survivors and completed the Mindful Eating Questionnaire (MEQ) prior to and after completion of the intervention. Linear regression analyses examined relationships between the aspects of mindful eating and body mass index (BMI). Wilcoxon (paired) rank sum tests evaluated the significance of the change in the MEQ total sum and subscales scores. A total of 102 participants completed both the pre- and post-intervention surveys. The mean change between the pre- and post-SOAR MEQ summary scores was 0.12 (sd = 0.30; Wilcoxon -value = 0.0003). All MEQ subscale scores significantly increased with the exception of the distraction subscale. The MEQ summary scores increased for participants across both BMI stratifications. The SOAR teaching kitchen represents one of the first interventions that is tailored for breast cancer survivors and combines behavioral strategies from mindful eating training to nutritional knowledge and culinary medicine pedagogy in a virtual teaching kitchen. Further research is needed to examine whether mindful eating practices among cancer survivors result in sustainable healthy eating behaviors and food choices consistent with the cancer risk reduction guidelines.
正念饮食实践可以提高对食物选择的认识，关注进食体验，并鼓励选择和准备既令人满意又有营养的食物。我们在参加了为期 9 周的多学科虚拟教学厨房干预项目（称为幸存者克服和实现韧性，简称 SOAR）的乳腺癌幸存者中研究了正念饮食。SOAR 通过每周的烹饪课程吸引参与者，这些课程还教授了多个正念领域的知识。参与者（n=102）为乳腺癌幸存者，在干预前后完成了正念饮食问卷（MEQ）。线性回归分析检查了正念饮食各方面与体重指数（BMI）之间的关系。Wilcoxon（配对）秩和检验评估了 MEQ 总分和各分量表评分变化的显著性。共有 102 名参与者完成了干预前后的调查。SOAR 前后 MEQ 总分的平均变化为 0.12（标准差=0.30；Wilcoxon 值=0.0003）。除了分心分量表外，所有 MEQ 分量表的评分均显著增加。BMI 分层的参与者的 MEQ 总分均增加。SOAR 教学厨房是首批针对乳腺癌幸存者量身定制的干预措施之一，它将正念饮食训练中的行为策略与营养知识和烹饪医学教育学结合在一个虚拟教学厨房中。需要进一步的研究来检验癌症幸存者的正念饮食实践是否会导致可持续的健康饮食习惯和符合癌症风险降低指南的食物选择。
