“…In comparison with the control group that received an educational and supportive intervention, there were no observed effects on pain and pain interference. Porter et al investigated the efficacy of mindful yoga on pain and other symptoms in patients with metastatic breast cancer [ 45 ]. The 8 weekly group sessions of yoga consisted of physical postures, breathing exercises, meditation techniques, and group discussions.…”

“…When it comes to mindfulness- and acceptance-based interventions, the two included studies did not provide evidence for its efficacy on pain in advanced cancer patients [ 44 , 45 ]. One reason could be the lack of in-person implementation of the intervention: In Mosher et al’s study [ 44 ], the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy was conducted via telephone.…”

“…One reason could be the lack of in-person implementation of the intervention: In Mosher et al’s study [ 44 ], the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy was conducted via telephone. Similarly, participants in Porter et al’s study [ 45 ] received a group intervention which might have weaker effects than individual sessions with more personal attention, especially when compared with a social support control group. Nevertheless, since mindfulness-based interventions have proven beneficial in other studies with cancer patients and for other outcomes [ 48 ], further research with advanced cancer patients can be highly encouraged.…”

Psychosocial Interventions for Pain Management in Advanced Cancer Patients: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Purpose of Review This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to synthesize the evidence on the effects of psychosocial interventions on pain in advanced cancer patients. Recent Findings The included studies investigated the effects of relaxation techniques, cognitive-behavioral therapy, music therapy, mindfulness- and acceptance-based interventions, and supportive-expressive group therapy. Overall, we found a small, but significant effect on pain intensity (d = − 0.29, CI = − 0.54 to − 0.05). Effect sizes were highly heterogeneous between studies. We did not find evidence for the superiority of any of the intervention types. However, psychosocial interventions may be more effective if they specifically targeted pain distress as the primary outcome. Summary Although findings were mixed, psychosocial interventions can be recommended to complement comprehensive care to alleviate pain in patients facing an advanced or terminal stage of the disease. Future research should develop innovative interventions tailored specifically for pain relief.

Immersive Technology was a trend of the interesting technology in presentation, demonstration, imitation. These techniques could be used in medical education. This article would present immersive technology knowledge which consisted of Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) and Mixed Reality (MR). Immersive technology could also be applied to medical education in 5 parts such as Treatment, Education, Rehabilitation, Training, Surgery, and equipment for medical education media development.

“…Although a considerable amount of published literature explores rural and urban differences among cancer patients and survivors ([ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ], few have examined the nuanced differences in their social connectedness to their community and faith. Within these articles are contrasting findings regarding disparities that are unique to rural and urban cancer survivors in different geographic regions.…”

Conceptualized using critical race theory as a theoretical underpinning, this study analyzed the lived experiences of older, rural, African American male prostate cancer (hereafter referenced as PrCA) survivors’ faith and health promotion practices within Northeast Louisiana. Qualitative data from journaling, observations, and semi-structured interviews were obtained from ten older, African American male PrCA survivors residing in four rural parishes of Louisiana. The data analysis employed a two-stage approach known as Polkinghorne’s analysis of narratives and narrative analysis using an art-based methodological approach. Framed as composite character counterstories, survivors’ narratives revealed how survivors made sense of and gave meaning to their PrCA diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and survivorship. Specifically, their counterstories indicate that centering and honoring the unique and often taken-for-granted perspectives of older, rural, African American male PrCA survivors offered a deeper understanding of the multiple factors influencing their quality of life, as well as the sociostructural mechanisms impacting their survivorship care. Faith was examined as both a secular and sacred source of support that these men viewed as central to the acceptance of their diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and survivorship.
