“…Among the 18 studies, eight studies showed improvement in mental health outcomes [ 10 , 20 – 22 , 24 , 27 , 29 , 34 ]. Specifically, psychoeducation [ 22 ] and CBT [ 27 ] improved depression and anxiety symptoms and stress. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy had a significant long-term effect ( p = 0.014) on self-management, posttraumatic growth, and functional disability [ 29 ].…”

Background Cancer is a global disease that affects all populations, including Muslims. Psychological and spiritual care of Muslim patients with cancer includes psychosocial and spiritual techniques that help to improve their mental health and spiritual well-being. Although these techniques are available to cancer patients worldwide, they are poorly studied among Muslim patients. This review aims to integrate the literature on the psychosocial-spiritual outcomes and perspectives of Muslim patients with cancer who have undergone psychotherapy. Method We used the Whittemore and Knafl five-step methodology. We conducted a comprehensive search of PubMed, CINAHL, and PsycINFO using relevant keywords. Studies that focused on adult patients with cancer and on published evidence of using psychosocial and spiritual interventions among Muslim patients were included. Each study was reviewed, evaluated, and integrated. Results A systematic search produced 18 studies that were thematically analyzed. Results showed different psychosocial and spiritual approaches currently used to care for Muslim patients with cancer that target mainly patients’ mental health, quality of life, and spiritual well-being. Four major themes emerged: (1) Treating Psychological Distress Without Psychopharmacologic Agents, (2) Improving Knowledge of Cancer for Improving QOL, (3) Depending on Faith for Spiritual Well-being, and (4) Relying on Religious and Spiritual Sources: Letting Go, Letting God. Conclusions The rigor of psychosocial and spiritual studies that target psychosocial-spiritual outcomes of Muslim cancer patients needs to be improved to reach conclusive evidence about their efficacy in this population.

“…The reviewed studies are also informative in building a base for the effectiveness of psychotherapeutic techniques in the psycho-oncologic treatment of Muslim patients. This review con rms the positive outcomes of various psychotherapeutic interventions on improving mental health, such as improving symptoms of depression and anxiety and stress [10,17,18,19,21,24,26,31]. Consulting sessions [19,21] provide patients with practical and educational information and resources that are related to emotions such as depression, anxiety, and fear associated with cancer.…”

“…Consulting sessions [19,21] provide patients with practical and educational information and resources that are related to emotions such as depression, anxiety, and fear associated with cancer. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy [24,26] increases patients' awareness of their feelings; throughout this therapy, patients acquire cognitive skills that promote metacognitive awareness, acceptance of negative thoughts, and an ability to effectively cope with psychological distress. Aromatherapy [18] entails using volatile essential oils of plants to enhance mental health.…”

The multiple mediating effects of cancer threat appraisal and quality of life on the association between mindfulness and depression for colorectal cancer survivors

et al. 2021

Objective This study explored the multiple mediating effects of cancer threat appraisal, functional status, and symptom distress on the association between mindfulness and depression in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients at the transition stage after completing cancer treatments. Methods A total of 90 CRC survivors who received cancer treatments within 3 months participated in this cross‐sectional study. The functional status and symptom distress (EORTC‐C30 and EORTC CR29), dispositional mindfulness (Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire), cancer threat appraisal ( Constructed Meaning Scale), and depressive symptoms (Beck Depression Inventory‐II scale) were collected. The mediation and moderation analyses were conducted using the PROCESS macros for SPSS. Results Survivors' dispositional mindfulness (γ = −0.49, p < 0.001) and cancer threat appraisal (γ = −0.59, p < 0.001) were significantly associated with depressive symptoms. Simple mediation analysis indicated that cancer threat appraisal mediated the relationship between dispositional mindfulness and depression (β = −0.02, 95% CI = −0.04 to −0.001). The multiple mediated analysis identified the path between dispositional mindfulness and depression via cancer threat appraisal and colorectal symptom distress (β = −0.01, 95% CI = −0.03 to −0.01). In the mediated moderation model, the path between dispositional mindfulness and depression via colorectal function was moderated by cancer threat appraisal (β = −0.02, 95% CI = −0.05 to −0.004). Conclusions The two cognitive mechanisms of reducing CRC survivors' depression are as follows: (1) dispositional mindfulness reducing the appraisal of cancer as a threat and increasing positive perceptions of CRC symptoms and (2) the cancer threat appraisal buffered the impacts of CRC's mindfulness and colorectal function on depressive symptoms. Developing mindfulness with cognitive training is recommended for improving depressive symptoms among CRC patients in the transition period.
