“…The intervention effect continued until one month after the intervention, as seen in the other studies [17,27,30]. A one-month follow-up is a medium-term follow-up and shows the continuity of the intervention effect.…”

Introduction Polycystic ovary syndrome is one of the women’s most common endocrine disorders that can cause anxiety, psychological distress, and reduced quality of life. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the effect of mindfulness-based stress reduction counseling on the worries of women with polycystic ovary syndrome. Materials and methods This quasi-experimental was implemented on 60 women with polycystic ovary syndrome, referring to health centers in Kerman, Iran, from April to September 2021. In the intervention group, MBSR was conducted in eight 90-minute sessions twice a week. A researcher-made questionnaire with 34 questions (with six domains including worries related to mental complications, interpersonal problems, non-pregnancy physical complications, pregnancy complications, sexual complications, and religious issues) on the worries of women with polycystic ovary syndrome was completed by the participants in two intervention and control groups as pre-and post-test and one month later. 22 SPSS statistical software was used for analysis. Results The mean score of worries in the intervention group (48.18 ± 5.18) compared to the control group (75.73 ± 8.08) was significantly reduced in total and all six domains immediately after the intervention (P < 0.0001). One month later also, the total mean score of worries and subtitles decreased significantly (P < 0.0001) in the intervention group (38.27 ± 3.58) in comparison with the control group (76.13 ± 7.52). Conclusion Results showed that the method of reducing stress based on mindfulness had caused a significant reduction in worries in the intervention group. Therefore, this method can be used to improve the mental health of this group of patients in health centers.

This article explores the evolving landscape of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) delivery within cancer care, highlighting key innovations aimed at enhancing accessibility, engagement, and relevance for patients. Traditional delivery methods of MBSR face challenges related to mobility, geography, and time constraints, which can limit patient participation. In response, integrating digital platforms, such as online programs and mobile apps, has emerged as a crucial development, making mindfulness training more accessible to a wider audience of cancer patients. Exploration into varied group formats is another innovation reshaping MBSR delivery. By adjusting the scale and intimacy of group settings, these formats aim to provide tailored community support and individual attention, enriching the participant experience. Hybrid models that combine in-person and digital sessions are gaining traction, offering the flexibility to meet diverse patient needs and preferences. Additionally, the development of tailored MBSR programs designed specifically for different types of cancer, stages of disease, and treatment phases addresses the need for more personalized mindfulness training. These adaptations ensure that MBSR remains a relevant and powerful tool in the comprehensive care of cancer patients. The future of MBSR in cancer care is marked by significant innovation and expanded integration into standard oncology practices, promising to enhance the holistic well-being of patients through evidence-based, compassionate care. These advancements signal a shift towards more adaptable, patient-centered approaches to mindfulness training in oncology settings.

Background: The diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer are associated with side effects that can affect patients' self-efficacy and various aspects of their quality of life, including their sexual function. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of sexual counseling and education based on self-efficacy theory on the sexual function of women with breast cancer. Method: This randomized controlled trial used a pretest, posttest, control group, and one-month follow-up design. It included 45 female breast cancer survivors, recruited from the clinics and hematology wards of Bushehr, Iran. The inclusion criterion was that at least three months should have passed since the last chemotherapy/radiotherapy. The participants were randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups. The experimental group received two training sessions and three counseling sessions based on efficacy theory. A demographic information form and a female sexual function index questionnaire were used for data collection, and the participants completed the questionnaire in the pretest, posttest, and follow-up stages. Chi-square, Mann–Whitney U, repeated-measures ANOVA, and Fisher's Least Significant Difference (LSD) test were used to analyze the data. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Result: At the posttest stage, statistically significant improvements were noted in the intervention group for arousal (P<0.001), orgasm (P = 0.008), sexual satisfaction (P<0.001), and overall FSFI score (P<0.001), which did not have a significant statistical difference until the follow-up stage. In the control group, the overall FSFI score, orgasm, and sexual satisfaction decreased at follow-up compared to those of the pretest and posttest. Conclusion: The scores of overall FSFI and most of its domains were higher in the experimental group than in the control group, an ability that can be attributed to the effect of sexual education and counseling. It is recommended to use this non-invasive, low-cost, and easy method together with other medical procedures.
