“…Longer or more frequent refresher calls, or face-to-face follow-up sessions with the groups may have helped participants to further develop their pst skills and to actively apply them to problems. For example, studies reporting the successful use of pst with groups involve more frequent sessions and regular contact with participants 36,37 . However, studies in other disciplines have found that "time-limited" pst interventions have a beneficial impact on sports performance 31,33,a .…”

“…Interventions using pst have also been successfully administered in health care settings, teaching children to enhance coping with painful medical procedures 34 , helping adults to increase adherence to rehabilitation programs 35 , and reducing symptoms when given as part of group therapy for breast cancer patients 36,37 . These techniques have also been shown to be effective in addressing many common survivorship issues, including fatigue, anxiety, and depression 38,39 .…”

Purpose: Cancer survivorship is a distinct phase of the cancer continuum, and it can have myriad associated stresses and challenges. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a positive self-talk (PST) intervention in enhancing the coping skills and improving the psychological well-being of breast cancer survivors. Methods: Participants (n = 38) were recruited from 5 support groups in a small eastern Canadian province. Support groups were randomly assigned to either a control (n = 18) or an intervention (n = 20) condition. Intervention participants were pre-tested, received a 2-hour PST in-person group workshop and a 10-minute “booster” session by telephone, and completed post-test questionnaires 1 month later. Results: Intervention participants reviewed the workshop favourably. Nearly all participants used the intervention in everyday life, were able to accurately describe how PST works, and found that PST had a considerable impact on their ability to cope with cancer and related sequelae. However, the descriptive findings from the workshop evaluation did not translate into significant differences between the intervention and control groups on the psychometric measures. Conclusions: The PST intervention, delivered in a community group model, was positively received and effective in teaching participants about PST and how PST can be used to enhance coping skills for breast cancer patients. However, the intervention did not promote significantly greater levels of change in anxiety, depression, mood disturbance, or coping ability for intervention participants. The unique challenges of community-level psychological intervention are explored.

ÖzetBilişsel davranışçı terapi kanser hastalarında uygulanan yapılandırılmış ama esnek psikososyal müdahalelerden biridir. Bilişsel davranışçı terapinin psikolojik morbiditeyi azaltmada olumlu etkilerinin olduğu ve kanserli hastaların yaşam kalitesini artırdığı yapılan birçok çalışmada belirtilmiştir. Bu makalede kanser hastaları için uyarlanmış bilişsel davranışçı terapinin içeriği, teknikleri ve kanser hastalarında görülen yaygın psikiyatrik bozukluklarda etkinliği gözden geçirilmiştir. Makalenin, ülkemizde özellikle hekim ve hemşireler tarafından psikolojik sıkıntıların erken tanınmasını ve hastaların ilgili terapistlere yönlendirilmesine bu sayede kanserli hastaların yaşam kalitesinin yükselmesine ve kendilerini daha iyi hissetmelerine olumlu katkıda bulunması amaçlanmıştır.Anahtar sözcükler: Bilişsel davranışçı terapi, psiko-onkoloji, kanser. AbstractCognitive behavioral therapy is one of the structured but flexible psychosocial interventions that could be applied to patients with cancer. In many studies the positive effects of cognitive behavioral therapy in reducing psychological morbidity and improving the quality of life of cancer patients have been shown. In this article, the contents and techniques of adapted cognitive behavioral therapy for patients with cancer and its effectiveness in commonly seen psychiatric disorders have been reviewed. The aim of this article is to contribute positively to physicians and nurses in Turkey for early detection of psychological distress and referral to the therapist that would clearly increase the quality of life of cancer patients.

“…Spiegel et al [22] revealed that the supportive-expressive therapy group was more effective than the control group in the recovery of patients suffering from breast cancer. Boutin [23] showed that the cognitive-behavioral therapy and supportive-expressive therapy groups were effective for helping women suffering from breast cancer. Gibbons et al [24] indicated moderate-to-large effect sizes in favor of the Supportive-expressive dynamic psychotherapy over the treatment-as-usual (TAU) therapy in the treatment of depression.…”

SummaryAim: The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of supportive-expressive therapy on the hope and quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Sample and method:This was an experimental study with pre/post-test design and a control group. 32 patients selected from members of the MS Society of Tehran were selected as the sample by target sampling, and then placed into two groups of 16 (experimental and control group) through random assignment. The supportive-expressive therapy was applied to the experimental group in 12 sessions of 75 minutes each. The instruments used were Snyder et al.'s Hope Inventory and World Health Organization's Quality of Life-Brief. Results:The results showed that there was a significant difference between hope and quality of life in the experimental and control groups (p<0.01).Discussion: Supportive-expressive therapy is effective in increasing hope and quality of life in patients with MS. Conclusion:The results showed that supportive-expressive therapy, with its emphasis on providing support and helping patients face and deal with their disease-related stress, can help increases hope and quality of life in patients with MS.supportive-expressive therapy, hope, quality of life, multiple sclerosis
