Cancer survivors’ population has continued to increase. However, survivorship remains challenging for most. Further development of new strategies to combat stress during survivorship was in demand. While religious-spiritual aspects were available as potential resources. A prospective study contributed 274 cancer survivors was conducted. Instruments included the Freiberg Mindfulness Inventory, Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Spiritual Well-Being, Perceived Stress Scale, and the Brief World Health Organization Quality of Life. Three-time points data were set, baseline, one month, and three months. Data were analyzed using repeated-measures ANOVA. The results showed that the mean age of the 274 cancer survivors was 48.97 (11.85) years old with a survivorship period of 1.35 years. Series data obtained from three points measurements each variable were mindfulness 34.15, 33.12, and 40.41; spirituality 33.40, 30.87, and 32.56, stress 20.31, 21.56, and 19.48, and quality-of-life 61.49, 55.71, 63.84, respectively.
