“…Previous studies report that reminiscence therapy improves patients' QoL in AD patients and acute ischemic stroke patients. [7][8][9] In line with these previous studies, we discovered that reminiscence therapy could improve patients' QoL to some extent in postoperative gastric cancer patients. The possible reasons were: Reminiscence therapy could alleviate patients' anxiety as discussed earlier, which might reduce perceived stress and enhance their motivation, then further led to improved QoL in postoperative gastric cancer patients.…”

“…[ 8 ] Meanwhile, reminiscence therapy alleviates patients’ anxiety reflected by lower HADS-Anxiety score and self-rating anxiety scale score in acute ischemic stroke patients. [ 9 ] As to cancer patients, 1 latest study reports that reminiscence therapy reduces anxiety and depression in postoperative colorectal cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. [ 10 ] However, the application of reminiscence therapy in gastric cancer patients is never reported.…”

Although reminiscence therapy alleviates mental illness and improves quality of life in neurocognitive disorders patients, little study reports its clinical application in cancer patients. Thus, this study aimed to explore the effect of reminiscence therapy on anxiety, depression, quality of life, and survival profile in postoperative gastric cancer patients. One hundred sixty surgical gastric cancer patients were enrolled in this randomized, controlled study, then randomly assigned to Reminiscence therapy group (N = 80) and Control group (N = 80) as 1:1 ratio. The evaluation was carried at baseline (M0), month 3 (M3), month 6 (M6), month 9 (M9), and month 12 (M12) after intervention by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer quality of life Questionnaire-Core 30 (QLQ-C30). Furthermore, disease-free survival and overall survival were analyzed using follow-up data. Reminiscence therapy decreased HADS for anxiety score at M6, M9, and M12, decreased anxiety rate at M9 and M12 compared to control care; while it did not affect HADS for depression score or depression rate at any time-point. Also, reminiscence therapy raised QLQ-C30 global health status score at M12, reduced QLQ-C30 symptoms score at M6, while did not affect QLQ-C30 function score at any time-point compared to control care. Reminiscence therapy did not affect disease-free survival and overall survival, either. Further subgroup analyses (divided by age and gender) observed that the effect of reminiscence therapy seemed more obvious in patients with age ≤60 years and male patients. Reminiscence therapy exhibits alleviation of anxiety and improvement of quality of life in postoperative gastric cancer patients.

“…For instance, a multicenter randomized controlled study discloses that in older adults with Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia, the reminiscence therapy may decrease the global cognitive function (MMSE) score but increase the memory (MAT) score compared with usual care [ 20 ]. With the wide application of reminiscence therapy in other brain-related diseases, such as acute ischemic stroke, reminiscence therapy is also reported to serve as an efficient strategy in attenuating mood disorders, such as anxiety and depression, apart from ameliorating the cognitive function [ 12 , 22 ]. As for the application of reminiscence therapy on nursing care in cancer patients, relevant studies are still lacking.…”

Purpose Reminiscence therapy is reported to attenuate the psychological disorders in cancer patients, such as colorectal and lung cancer patients. However, relevant report on surgical prostate cancer patients is scarce. This study put forward a reminiscence therapy-based care program (RTCP + UC) combing reminiscence therapy with usual care (UC), and aimed to evaluate the impact of RTCP + UC on anxiety, depression, quality of life and survival in surgical prostate cancer patients. Methods Totally, 108 prostate cancer patients receiving surgical resection were enrolled, who were subsequently randomized and allocated to the RTCP + UC group (N = 55) and UC group (N = 53) at a 1:1 ratio. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and QLQ-C30 were assessed at month M0, M3, M6, M9 and M12 during the intervention period. After intervention, patients were followed up for another 24 months to calculate disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). Results RTCP + UC decreased HADS-anxiety score at M9 and M12, declined HADS-depression score at M6, M9 and M12, reduced depression rate and the severity level of depression at M12, while did not affect these issues at other time points. Meanwhile, RTCP + UC enhanced the QLQ-C30 global health status score at M3, M6, M9 and M12, but did not influence the QLQ-C30 function score and QLQ-C30 symptom score at any time points. Meanwhile, RTCP + UC had no effect on the accumulating DFS and OS of surgical prostate cancer patients. Conclusion RTCP + UC serves as an optional nursing modality in alleviating anxiety and depression, improving quality of life in surgical prostate cancer patients.

“…Reminiscence therapy is a common treatment method for dementia patients that involves encouraging them to share their memories and past experiences, which could evoke memories and improve psychological well-being (9)(10)(11). Recently, reminiscence therapy has been adopted to improve the psychological health and quality of life of diverse postoperative cancer patients (12)(13)(14). For instance, a reminiscence therapy-based care program mitigated anxiety and depression in post-operative non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients (13); meanwhile, it also reduced the levels of anxiety and depression and improved satisfaction in glioma patients after tumor resection (15).…”

BackgroundReminiscence therapy mitigates psychological issues and improves the quality of life of cancer survivors. However, its role in elderly patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is unclear. Thus, we aimed to detect the effect of reminiscence therapy on anxiety, depression, and the quality of life of elderly patients with HCC.MethodsIn total, 106 elderly patients with HCC after resection were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the reminiscence therapy group (N = 54) and control care group (N = 52) and then received intervention for 12 months. Anxiety and depression were evaluated by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) at baseline [Month (M) 0], 3 months (M3), 6 months (M6), 9 months (M9), and 12 months (M12). Meanwhile, quality of life was assessed using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer quality of life Questionnaire—Core 30 (QLQ-C30) at M0, M6, and M12.ResultsThe HADS for anxiety score at M9 (6.8 ± 2.3 vs. 7.8 ± 2.4, P = 0.039) and M12 (6.6 ± 2.4 vs. 7.8 ± 2.6, P = 0.013) and the anxiety proportion at M12 (27.8% vs. 46.2%, P = 0.050) were reduced in the reminiscence therapy group compared with those in the control care group. Moreover, the HADS for depression score declined at M9 (6.6 ± 2.0 vs. 7.5 ± 2.2, P = 0.025) and M12 (6.3 ± 2.3 vs. 7.7 ± 2.6, P = 0.005), but the proportion of those with depression was not different at each visit (P > 0.05) in the reminiscence therapy group compared with that of the control care group. In addition, the QLQ-C30 global health status score increased at M6 (71.3 ± 12.8 vs. 66.3 ± 12.9, P = 0.048) and M12 (74.5 ± 12.9 vs. 68.2 ± 13.3, P = 0.014) in the reminiscence therapy group compared to that in the control care group.ConclusionReminiscence therapy effectively mitigates anxiety and depression and improves the quality of life of elderly patients with HCC.
