Self-Hypnosis Classes to Enhance the Quality of Life of Breast Cancer Patients

Abstract: The Healing Skills Project, consisting of five, four-session self-hypnosis classes, was a pilot-study to evaluate the impact of self-hypnosis on the quality of life for breast cancer patients. The impact of self-hypnosis in women with breast cancer was measured using a self-report instrument, the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast, pre- and post-intervention (Brady, et al., 1997; Maratia, Cedillo, & Rejas, 2016). After employing the self-hypnosis interventions, statistically significant changes wer… Show more

“…The results extending the positive effect of using hypnosis in cancer patients, suggesting that this clinical intervention is valuable not only in relieving medical procedures, but also in reducing symptomatology by cancer patients after treatment (Chen et al, 2017;Cramer et al, 2015). Although there were few studies included, these results are in line with previous research, which showed the effectiveness of hypnosis in providing suggestions for the body to accept and improve the side effects of medical interventions, leading to greater adherence to treatments (Forester-Miller, 2017).…”

“…Recently, hypnosis has generated interest in managing cancer symptoms (Chen et al, 2017;Cramer et al, 2015). Some studies have highlighted the importance of hypnotic procedures in the management of stress and pain and minimizing the side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy (Berlière et al, 2018;Forester-Miller, 2017). APA (Elkins et al, 2015;Green et al, 2005) acknowledges that although the use of hypnosis for medical purposes has been controversial, clinicians now agree it can be an effective technique for many conditions, including anxiety, mood disorders, chronic pain (Flynn, 2018;Plaskota et al, 2012;Snow et al, 2012), allergies, hypertension, nausea, enhancing positive emotions (Schnur et al, 2009), and quality of life (Álvarez & Uribe, 2016;Castañeda & Krikorian, 2018;Flynn, 2018;González-Ramírez et al, 2017).…”

“…Despite the absence of interventional studies with PWH, some comparisons can be drawn from investigations analysing the utility of hypnosis in other conditions that, like haemophilia, are associated with disabling symptoms. Corroborating the findings from this paper, those have shown that hypnosis is effective in improving HRQoL among patients with irritable bowel syndrome 32 , fibromyalgia 33 and breast cancer 34 . This body of evidence further supports the utility of hypnosis to promote HRQoL and favours the pursuit of this line of research, encouraging the adoption of strategies that can improve the well-being, and thus the quality-of-life, of patients with chronic conditions.…”

“…The existing research focusing on psychological interventions among PWH is outdated and has focused mainly on hypnosis, showing positive results for disease management 27–29 . Indeed, the medical use of hypnosis is approved since 1955 by the British Medical Association 30 and is recognized as an effective intervention to help manage chronic pain 31 , also contributing to improve HRQoL across distinct medical fields 3234 . In haemophilia, the promising results that have been reported using hypnosis make the discontinuity of this line of research somewhat surprising, and thus encourage the development of investigations to further explore its usefulness.…”

“…Une intervention de groupe combinant auto-hypnose et auto-bienveillance a permis une diminution de l'anxiété et une augmentation de la qualité de vie chez des patientes atteintes d'un cancer du sein [82]. Ces résultats sont congruents avec une méta-analyse de Chen et al [85] qui mete né vidence les effets positifs de l'hypnose sur l'anxiété des patients, et avecu ne étude récente montrant l'efficacité de groupes d'hypnose sur la qualité de vie de patientes atteintes d'un cancer du sein [86].
