“…The sample size of four studies was very small with 20 or fewer participants (Ando et al, 2013; Ando et al, 2016; Klagsbrun et al, 2005; Rhondali et al, 2013). Six studies had 21 to 56 participants (Geue et al, 2012; Lefevre et al, 2016; Nainis et al, 2006; Oster et al, 2014; Singer et al, 2010; Svensk et al, 2009; Visser & Op ’T Hoog, 2008), and the remaining three studies had samples of 100 or more (Garland et al, 2007; Monti et al, 2006; Monti et al, 2013).…”

“…Only four studies used power calculations to determine minimum sample size (Ando et al, 2016; Garland et al, 2007; Monti et al, 2006; Monti et al, 2013). Samples were recruited from outpatient clinics in six studies (Garland et al, 2007; Geue et al, 2012; Klagsbrun et al, 2005; Oster et al, 2014/Svensk et al, 2009; Singer et al, 2010; Visser & Op ’T Hoog, 2008), hospitals in five studies (Ando et al, 2013; Ando et al, 2016; Lefevre et al, 2016; Nainis et al, 2006; Rhondali et al, 2013), or unspecified settings in two studies (Monti et al, 2006; Monti et al, 2013).…”

“…Among the cancer diagnoses, breast cancer (32%) was most common followed by hematologic cancer (17%) or other cancers (51%). Three studies (Klagsbrun et al, 2005; Monti et al, 2013; Oster et al, 2014/Svensk et al, 2009) recruited only breast cancer patients. The mean age of the participants in each study ranged from 45 years (Singer et al, 2010) to 57 years (Lefevre et al, 2016).…”

“…Newly developed art-making interventions were tested in four studies (Garland et al, 2007; Klagsbrun et al, 2005; Monti et al, 2013; Singer et al, 2010), and three studies tested art-making interventions that had been previously developed and implemented (Ando et al, 2016; Monti et al, 2006; Oster et al, 2014/Svensk et al, 2009). Development of the remaining six interventions was not reported (Ando et al, 2013; Geue et al, 2012; Lefevre et al, 2016; Nainis et al, 2006; Rhondali et al, 2013; Visser & Op ’T Hoog, 2008).…”

“…While about a third of the U.S. population has used CAM over the past two decades, CAM has increasingly become a component of the US health care system (Clarke, 2015). There is a growing body of research related to the use of CAM to manage a variety of medical conditions, such as breast cancer, pain management, and health promotion (Arcury et al, 2015;Klagsbrun et al, 2005;Zins, 2018). Counseling professionals have also increased their utilization of CAM in their treatment and interventions for addiction, anxiety symptoms, stress management, bereavement, etc.…”

This study explored counseling students’ attitudes toward beliefs and personal experience with complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) integration in counseling practices. A total of 113 clinical mental health counseling students completed a demographic questionnaire, the CAM use, and the Complementary and Alternative Medicine Beliefs Inventory. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, nonparametric Chi-Square testing, Mann–Whitney U test, and logistic regression analysis to determine the prevalence of CAM use, CAM beliefs, and predictive factors of CAM integration. The results indicated differences in ethnicity, gender, and age for CAM use, CAM beliefs, and predictors of attitudes toward CAM integration. Recommendations for counseling practice and education regarding CAM use and community-based health promotion were discussed.

Mindfulness‐based arts interventions for cancer care: A systematic review of the effects on wellbeing and fatigue

et al. 2020

Objective Upon receiving a cancer diagnosis, life irrevocably changes and complex experiences of emotional distress often occur. There is a growing interest in mindfulness‐based arts interventions (MBAIs) to ameliorate the distress many patients experience. Our review objective was to synthesize the evidence on the effectiveness of MBAIs on psychological wellbeing and fatigue. Method Relevant quantitative articles were identified through a systematic search of the grey literature and online databases including MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cochrane CENTRAL, Art Full Text, ART bibliographies Modern, PsycINFO, Scopus, and EMBASE. Two independent reviewers screened titles/abstracts against predetermined inclusion criteria, read full‐text articles for eligibility, conducted quality appraisals of included articles, and extracted pertinent data with a standardized data extraction form. The heterogeneity of the included studies precluded a meta‐analysis and a narrative synthesis of study outcomes was conducted. Results Our systematic search retrieved 4241 titles/abstracts, and 13 studies met our inclusion criteria (eight randomized controlled trials and five quasi‐experiments). Most of the studies focused on patients with cancer (92.3%). There is a growing interest in MBAIs over time and significant heterogeneity in the types of interventions. A significant effect was found on several outcomes that are important in psychosocial oncology: quality of life, psychological state, spiritual wellbeing, and mindfulness. The effect on fatigue was equivocal. Conclusions This novel intervention demonstrates promise for the psychosocial care of patients with cancer. These findings are an essential antecedent to the continued implementation, development, and evaluation of MBAIs in oncology.
