“…This paper focusses on secondary analyses of a randomized controlled trial the primary aim of which was to assess the efficacy of our group intervention to improve fatigue and associated symptoms in post-treatment cancer patients and to explore the predictors of the evolution of fatigue. These primary results have already been published [40].…”

Purpose Cancer patients often report low self-esteem and high emotional distress. Two factors seem particularly linked to these symptoms: emotion regulation strategies and mindfulness. The interest of hypnosis and self-care to relieve these symptoms is not well documented. Our randomized controlled trial aimed at assessing the effect of a group intervention combining self-hypnosis and self-care on self-esteem, emotional distress, emotion regulation, and mindfulness abilities of post-treatment cancer patients, as well as investigating the links between these variables. Methods One hundred and four patients who had suffered from cancer were randomized into the intervention group (N = 52) and the wait-list control group (N = 52). They had to answer questionnaires before (T1) and after the intervention (T2). Nine men were excluded from the analyses, leading to a final sample of 95 women with cancer. Group-by-time changes were assessed with MANOVA, and associations with self-esteem and emotional distress were investigated with hierarchical linear regression models. Results Participants in the intervention group (mean age = 51.65; SD = 12.54) reported better self-esteem, lower emotional distress, a decreased use of maladaptive emotion regulation strategies, and more mindfulness abilities after the intervention, compared to the WLCG. This increase in mindfulness explained 33% of the improvement of self-esteem and 41.6% of the decrease of emotional distress in the intervention group. Self-esteem and emotional distress also predicted each other. Conclusion Our study showed the efficacy of our hypnosis-based intervention to improve all the investigated variables. Mindfulness predicted the improvement of self-esteem and emotional distress. The primary impact of our intervention on mindfulness abilities seems to explain, at least in part, its efficacy.

“…Independent of the underlying mechanisms, the majority of participants found HC to be a nice and relaxing addition for symptom management during chemotherapy. Future studies should examine the utility of such intervention not only during treatments but also as self-management strategies between them [36], as suggested by some participants. Despite prior evidence showing that even brief hypnosis interventions can have notable effects on emotion regulation [37], the expected benefits of HC on the perception of emotional support was not observed in this study.…”

Purpose This pilot-controlled trial aimed to examine the feasibility and acceptability of hypnosis-derived communication (HC) administered by trained nurses during outpatient chemotherapy to optimize symptom management and emotional support — two important aspects of patient well-being in oncology. Methods The trial was conducted in two outpatient oncology units: (1) intervention site (usual care with HC), and (2) control site (usual care). Nurses at the intervention site were invited to take part in an 8-h training in HC. Participants’ self-ratings of symptoms and emotional support were gathered at predetermined time points during three consecutive outpatient visits using the Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale and the Emotional Support Scale. Results Forty-nine patients (24 in the intervention group, 25 in the control group) with different cancer types/stages were recruited over a period of 3 weeks and completed the study. All nurses (N = 10) at the intervention site volunteered to complete the training and were able to include HC into their chemotherapy protocols (about ± 5 min/intervention). Compared to usual care, patients exposed to HC showed a significant reduction in physical symptoms during chemotherapy. In contrast, perception of emotional support did not show any significant effect of the intervention. Participants exposed to HC report that the intervention helped them relax and connect on a more personal level with the nurse during chemotherapy infusion. Conclusions Our results suggest that HC is feasible, acceptable, and beneficial for symptom management during outpatient chemotherapy. While future studies are needed, hypnosis techniques could facilitate meaningful contacts between cancer patients and clinicians in oncology.

“…L'hypnose est utilisée depuis des années dans le domaine du soin. Nos précédentes études ont permis de mettre en évidence son impact positif, en combinaison ou non avec d'autres techniques, sur la douleur, la fatigue, le sommeil, la détresse émotionnelle et la qualité de vie chez des patients atteints d'un cancer [44][45][46][47] ou d'autres pathologies [48][49][50][51][52]. La méditation, quant à elle, peut être décrite comme un « état physiologique hypo-métabolique éveillé », en référence à différents changements physiologiques qui se produisent durant cet état [53].…”
