Abstract

Psychological flexibility is associated with less distress in ovarian cancer survivors who present for psychological intervention, and this pathway is partially mediated by avoidant coping and cancer-related worry. Mindfulness techniques and coping skills training may ameliorate these effects and improve psychological functioning.
