Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This trial studies how well two different supportive programs work in supporting optimal recovery in participants undergoing gynecological surgery. Supportive programs use different methods for helping participants cope with the surgical experience including gentle movements, counseling, writing, or relaxation techniques, and may help improve participants' well-being after gynecological surgery.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To calculate recruitment, adherence, assessment completion, and retention rates.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Document the frequency of adverse events. II. Assess descriptive data on proposed outcomes (i.e., pain, sleep disturbances, psychological distress) for the next phase of study.) III. Qualitatively assess acceptability to guide future study planning.

OUTLINE: Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 groups.

GROUP I (MINDFUL MOVEMENT AND BREATHING \[eMMB\]): Participants will receive instruction on awareness meditation, breathing and relaxation, and awareness meditation. This will include a call with the interventionist to invite participants to initiate additional guidance upon request prior to surgery and a meeting by videoconferencing the day following surgery. Participants will also be given a self-directed video to be used before surgery and daily for two weeks following surgery.

GROUP II (ATTENTION CONTROL \[AC\]): Participants will receive caring attention. This will include a call with the interventionist to invite participants to initiate additional guidance upon request prior to surgery and a meeting by videoconferencing the day following surgery. Participants are also asked to write brief diary entries once before surgery and daily for two weeks following surgery.
