(27,28) In clinical studies, it has been shown that stress, chronic depression, social support, and other psychological factors can affect the onset and progression of cancer. On the other hand, it has been suggested that loneliness is a risk factor that increases cancer mortality.…”

BackgroundProstate cancer is the most prevalent malignancy among men, and psychological symptoms may affect many patients. Although much work has been carried out on loneliness, depression, and pain in geriatric prostate cancer patients, far less research has examined their associations. Therefore, the present study explored the association of loneliness and depression with pain in geriatric prostate cancer patients. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted involving 83 patients between the ages of 60 and 74 years, who were diagnosed with prostate cancer and were close relatives of students studying at a health sciences university. Data were collected with the Loneliness Scale for the Elderly, Beck Depression Inventory, and Numerical Rating Scale. The duration of prostate diagnosis was evaluated according to patient files. Simple and multiple logistic regression analyses were used to analyze the data. Results It was determined that the median age of the individuals included in the study was 66 years, and the median pain duration of these patients was two years. Severe pain was found in 62.7%, loneliness in 61.4%, and depression in 68.7% of the patients. Duration of diagnosis, loneliness, and depression were significantly associated with pain intensity. Depression increases the risk of pain intensity 3.41 times among patients (aOR=3.41;95% C.I.: 3.07-8.16; p=0.038) ConclusionIt was determined that duration of diagnosis, loneliness, and depression levels were risk factors for pain intensity in geriatric prostate cancer patients. Developing interventions for patients' mental states in rehabilitation studies may help alleviate the severity of pain.

“…Pada pasien kanker, spiritualitas sangat bermanfaat untuk menjaga harga diri, meningkatkan makna dan tujuan hidup, memberikan kenyamanan emosional dan memberikan harapan hidup. Penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Genc peneliti asal Turki tahun 2018, yang menyatakan bahwa untuk menghilangkan rasa sakit yang dirasakan pasien kanker, 87% dari pasien berdo'a memohon kesembuhan untuk menghilangkan rasa sakit dan 59,3% membaca Al-Qur'an untuk mengalihkan rasa sakitnya (Genc, 2018). Penelitian ini sejalan dengan penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Abuelgasim di Arab Saudi 2018, terapi komplementer dan alternative yang paling banyak digunakan pasien kanker dalam mengelola rasa sakit atau nyeri adalah berdo'a (95,4%) dan membaca Al-Qur'an (88,1%) selain itu berdo'a dan membaca Al-Qur'an juga digunakan untuk mengendalikan mood atau mengontrol emosi (Abuelgasim et al, 2018).…”

Introduction Pain is the most common symptom in breast cancer patients. Pain felt in breast cancer patients is mild to severe pain that can be caused either from the part of the body affected by cancer or as a result of various types of therapy and the effects of breast treatment procedures including surgery and radiotherapy. Pain management alone, nowadays there is a lot of research evidence that the pharmacological approach combined with non-pharmacological therapy shows more significant results than only offering pharmacological therapy. Spirituality-based therapy is one of the non-pharmacological interventions that can be used to treat breast cancer. Method This study uses a quantitative descriptive research design with a literature review approach. The databases used include PubMed, Google Scholar, Spingerlink, and ProQuest. Result This study used 8 articles that matched the inclusion and exclusion criteria. From 8 articles, it shows that spirituality-based therapies that are effectively used in pain management are murottal therapy, prayer and dhikr Conclusion Murottal therapy, prayer, and dhikr are effective therapies used in pain management, besides that they can also be used to control anxiety and to regulate the emotions of breast cancer patients. Implications: The results of this study serve as a reference for nurses in providing non-pharmacological interventions to breast cancer patients who experience pain disorders. Thus, the independent function of nurses can be carried out properly

“…By stimulating the pituitary gland on the neuroendocrine system, listening to music has an effect on memory and pain, anxiety and perception by increasing the release of endorphins (Arslan & Özer, 2007;Genç et al, 2018). Music, by affecting the mood of the people and sedating, distracts the attention, enables patients to suspend themselves from their pain and is beneficial in reducing pain-intensifying emotions such as anxiety and fear (Arslan & Özer, 2007).…”

Objective: This research has been conducted to determine the effect of music on pain and anxiety levels of patients receiving chemotherapy during COVID-19. Methods: The research has been carried out in a real trial model with 92 adult patients (45 in the experimental group who received chemotherapy and 47 in the control group). The data have been collected by the researcher with Google Forms (using State and Trait Anxiety Inventory [STAI] and visual analogue scale [VAS]) through the links sent to the phones of participants on the day they received chemotherapy, between March 2020 and July 2020. Results: The mean scores obtained from the post-test STAI (53.11 ± 4.77) and VAS (3.44 ± 2.53) in the experimental group have been determined to statistically significantly decrease when compared to the pre-test measurement data (STAI: 54.26 ± 4.26; VAS: 4.22 ± 2.41) (p < 0.05). No statistically significant difference has been determined between pre-test and post-test mean scores of the patients in the control group. Conclusion: It has been observed that music applications reduce the pain and anxiety levels of patients receiving chemotherapy during the COVID-19 process. It can be recommended to use music applications in the management of pain and anxiety symptoms.
