The most often Nursing diagnoses are: compromised coping, anxiety, altered psychological state, fatigue. Mindfulness is presented as an intervention strategy that can be an option in our decision of clinical practice.
Objectives: Identify a problem of nursing practice, analyse the research produced; find the best empirical evidence for clinical practice; realize the effectiveness of mindfulness programs applied to clients diagnosed with breast cancer.
Results: MBSR(BC) (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (Breast Cancer)) can be applied to breast cancer survivour clients.. The clinical efficacy of MBSR(BC) is well known throughout the literature. For the clients, the insertion in the MBSR(BC), is meant to improve the quality of life, with control of the adverse effects to the treatments of the oncological disease.

There are improvements in the control of psychological, physical and cognitive effects. The results provide evidence of the clinical efficacy of MBSR(BC).
