“…Examples include telehealth programs which aim to improve mental health in women with BC. [41] In regard to this study's internal validity, one of the main limitations of this work is the classi cation of mental health illnesses. CCI software was used to group mental health diagnoses because the sources of information come from different autonomous communities in Spain.…”

Aim The increase in survival of patients with breast cancer has largely been due to early detection and treatment advances, which has led to longer follow-up and treatment of these patients. The principal aim of this work is to describe the presence of mental health comorbidities and analyze their influence on survival in women who are long-term breast cancer survivors. Methods This retrospective multicenter cohort study is part of the SURBCAN Study, a cohort of 4,088 women who are long-term breast cancer survivors diagnosed between 2000 and 2006 who were followed-up on between 2012 and 2016. A descriptive analysis of the study population’s characteristics and prevalence of mental health comorbidities was performed. A Cox regression analysis was performed to study the influence of mental health comorbidity on all-cause mortality. Results A total of 42.2% of patients presented with at least one mental health comorbidity, notable among which were anxiety disorders and depression and mood disorders, with a prevalence of 37.6% and 21.1%, respectively. The presence of a mental health comorbidity was associated with a poor prognosis (HR: 2.13; 95% CI: 1.70–2.66), as was more advanced tumor stages. Conclusions The presence of mental health comorbidities in women who are long-term breast cancer survivors is associated with lower survival. Individualized follow-up in which the patient’s mental health status is specifically monitored is recommended.

“…They recommended psychoeducation, psychotherapy, or physical activities (walking, mind–body practice, etc.). These studies were not included in the present analysis, as no CGA was performed, and interventions were not specifically designed for patients over 65 years old [ 18 , 19 ]. Cognition has a high impact on the feasibility of a care plan, and its assessment is crucial in the decision-making process.…”

There is a consensus that the use of comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is good clinical practice for older patients with solid tumors or hematological malignancies. To be complete, a CGA must include a geriatric assessment and an intervention plan. According to the SIOG consensus, a CGA should assess several domains: functional status, comorbidity, cognition, mental health status, fatigue, social status and support, nutrition, and the presence of geriatric syndromes. Progress has been made in the definition of the best way to detect problems, but the benefits are mostly based on prognosis stratification and on the adaptation of cancer treatment. The present review aims to evaluate the level of evidence regarding geriatric interventions proposed following the detection of a problem in cancer patients in each domain mentioned in the SIOG consensus. An online search of the PubMed database was performed using predefined search algorithms specific for each domain of the CGA. Eligible articles had to have well-defined interventions targeting specific domains of the CGA. We screened 1864 articles, but only a few trials on single-domain interventions were found, and often, these studies involved small groups of patients. This review highlights the scarcity of published studies on this topic. The specific impacts of CGA-based interventions have not yet been demonstrated. Multi-domain interventions seem promising, especially when they are based on global assessments. However, standardization seems difficult considering the lack of evidence for each domain. New studies are necessary in multiple care contexts, and innovative designs must be used to balance internal and external validity. An accurate description of the intervention and what “usual care” means will improve the external validity of such studies.

“…In addition, other studies have reported that it reduces depressive symptoms (45). Research ndings in a similar study conducted with women diagnosed with breast cancer and receiving active treatment show that depression levels are directly related to individuals' coping styles, and depression levels decrease as individuals' coping styles become functional (46).…”

Purpose: Breast cancer is a challenging process that affects the diagnosed people and their social environment psychologically, physiologically, socially,and economically. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of the Online Cognitive Behavioral Stress Management (CBSM) for Cancer program, which is prepared for people diagnosed with cancer to develop coping methods that will enable them to cope with the stress they experience in a healthy and active way. The research question is, whether attending the CBSM program is effective on psychological well- being of breast cancer patients. Material and Method: The study was completed with a total of 35 people, 17 in the experimental group and 18 in the control group. The pretest-posttest results of the experimental and control groups formed according to cancer type and stages were analyzed. The independent sample t-test was used in the comparison of the two groups of experimental and control groups. Paired sample t-test was used to compare the pretest-posttest scores. Results: There was no significant difference in the pre-test and post-test scores of the experimental and control groups in terms of mental adjustment to cancer. There was a significant difference observed between the experimental ,and control groups in the post-test measurements in terms of psychosocial adjustment to illness, assessment of coping attitudes, depression, hope, state and trait anxiety (p<.001). Conclusion: It can be stated that the Online CBSM program for breast cancer patients can enable them to cope with the stress they experience in a healthy and active way.
