Psychosexual Consequences of Risk-reducing Salpingo-oophorectomy

Mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR) is a standardized eight-week psychosocial intervention delivered by certified trainers. The programme consists of a weekly class of two and half hours for a period of eight weeks and a full retreat day. Furthermore participants are asked to practice exercises at home for 45 minutes, six days a week. The MBSR class will consist of ten to twelve persons, starting at different weekdays and moments of the day. If during the inclusion process it becomes apparent that a group of participants (provided a sufficient group size) comes from a region (e.g. Friesland or Overijssel) with a considerable amount of traveling time to the UMCG, efforts will be made to start a MBSR training in the region with trainers from the UMCG.
