“…It is known that group programs such as acceptance and commitment group therapy, laughter therapy or mindfulness-based cognitive therapy enhance the quality of life while simultaneously increasing resilience and wellbeing. 14,44,45 Additionally, patients with high resilience and a high quality of life were more likely to cope well with cancer and the treatment side effects. 4,5 Furthermore, in the clinical practice guidelines on the evidence-based use of integrative therapies during and after breast cancer treatment, meditation, relaxation, massage, and yoga and stress management and music therapy were recommended to reduce anxiety/stress and depression/mood disorders.…”

Background: Patients with cancer receiving oncological treatment often suffer from a reduced quality of life (QoL) and resilience. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of an interdisciplinary integrative oncology group-based program on resilience and quality of life in patients with cancer during or after conventional oncological therapy. Methods: This prospective longitudinal single-center study evaluated the resilience (Resilience Scale), quality of life (EORTC-QLQ C30), anxiety, depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), and distress levels (Distress Thermometer) of 60 patients with cancer who participated in a 10-week interdisciplinary integrative oncology group-based program during or after cancer treatment in outpatient clinics. An average of 12 (range 11-13) patients participated in each 10-week group. The program included recommendations for diet, stress management, relaxation, and exercise, as well as naturopathic self-help strategies and psychosocial support. Results: There were slight increases in global quality of life scores (week 0: 58.05 ± 20.05 vs week 10: 63.13 ± 18.51, n = 59, P = .063, d = −.25) and resilience scores (week 0: 63.50 ± 13.14 vs week 10: 66.15 ± 10.17, n = 52, P = .222, d = −.17) after the group program compared to before; however, these changes were not statistically significant and had small effect sizes. Patients with at least moderate anxiety symptoms ( P = .022, d = .42) and low resilience ( P = .006, d = −.54) benefited most from the program. The patients reported no relevant side effects or adverse events from the program. Conclusions: No significant effects on global quality of life or resilience were found in the general sample; notably, patients with anxiety and low initial resilience benefited the most from the program.

“…Spiritual therapy merupakan suatu bentuk psikoterapi yang didasarkan pada teknik religius/spiritual untuk memberdayakan pasien agar mencapai pemahaman nonmaterial tentang diri, alam semesta, kejadian dan fenomena, serta kesehatan dan pertumbuhan (Zamaniyan, 2016) Spiritual group therapy dapat merubah sikap pasien kanker menjadi lebih positif dalam menjalani kehidupan dan menghadapi penyakitnya (Zamaniyan et al, 2016). Pasien kanker cenderung menjauh dari lingkungan sosial dan rutinitasnya yang membuat mereka cenderung menentukan tujuan hidup dan nilai hidup jangka pendek, oleh sebab itu terapi kelompok dibutuhkan pasien kanker untuk membantu menentukan tujuan dan nilai hidup dalam jangka waktu panjang (Sadeghi et al, 2018). Bellver-Pérez et al ( 2019) mengemukakan manfaat lain terapi kelompok dapat membantu meningkatkan kemampuan pasien dalam berkomunikasi dan beradaptasi dengan orang lain dan menjadi sumber dukungan bagi individu karena tergabung dengan orang lain yang memiliki masalah yang sama.…”

“…The social isolation questionnaire consists of 20 items (10 negative and 10 positive) (32) that are scored from 1 (never) to 4 (always). The overall score is calculated by summing the numbers of the selected items, which is inverted by the number related to the positive tone sentences (5,6,9,10,15,16,19,20). The questionnaire has three subscales including loneliness due to family relationships (2,4,9,12,16,18,20), communication with friends (1,3,5,10,11,15,19), and emotional sign questions (6,7,8,13,14,17).…”

Background and objectives: There are alternative and complementary approaches for general health issues and palliative care for women with breast cancer. This study aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on psychological hardiness, social isolation, and loneliness of women with breast cancer. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design. The study population consisted of all women with breast cancer who had been referred to the oncology ward of Shohada Tajrish Hospital in Tehran (Iran) in 2020. Thirty subjects were enrolled via purposive sampling and then assigned to an experimental group (n=15) and a control group (n=15). The experimental group received eight sessions of ACT interventions (90 minutes a session), and the control group did not receive any intervention. The subjects were followed-up for eight weeks after the last ACT session. Data were collected using the Lang and Goulet Psychological Hardiness Scale, Social Isolation Questionnaire, and the UCLA Loneliness Scale. The collected data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA. Results: The mean age of subjects and mean duration of marriage were 34.23±6.12 years and 8.46±5.14 years, respectively. Based on the findings, the mean scores of psychological hardiness (p=0.005), social isolation (p=0.001), and loneliness (p=0.001) differed significantly between the study groups in the posttest stage. Conclusion: According to the results, it seems that ACT is effective in increasing psychological hardiness and reducing social isolation and loneliness of women with breast cancer.
