This research study is testing whether Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) can help reduce fatigue in people with sarcoidosis. The study will also look at whether MBSR can improve symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Participants will be placed into one of two groups:
* One group will take part in an 8-week virtual MBSR program, attend weekly online sessions, keep a daily mindfulness journal, and complete surveys about fatigue, anxiety, and depression. * The other group will join a virtual support group once a month for 5 months and complete the same surveys.
The goal is to see which approach is more helpful for improving fatigue and mental well-being in people with sarcoidosis.
Inclusion: Self reported diagnosis of sarcoidosis; Fatigue defined as FAS score ≥ 22; Age ≥ 18 years old; Ability to speak and read English; Access to internet; Capacity to consent.
Exclusion: Prior history of engaging in formal mindfulness-based interventions including: MBSR, MBCT, Acceptance and Commitment therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy; Any condition that would prevent being a suitable candidate for the group intervention (as determined by screening interview) including suicidal ideation; Current daily meditation practice; Lack of access to any form of online video access.
