Abstract
This study aimed to determine the pattern use and their experiences of MBCT use in Thalassemia patients in the Northern region of Malaysia. A validated questionnaire was distributed among 390 thalassemia respondents at the Kedah Thalassemia society. Results showed that 313 (80.26%) reported using CAM. The data showed a significant association with age (p=0.001), an education level (p=0.020), and household income (p=0.037). The MBCT was mainly used among thalassemia patients, with 292 respondents (93.29%). This suggests that MBCT helps deal with stress and can be used in chronic management
