“…In a meta‐analysis done in Iran, they identified seven different psychological consequences of breast cancer. Among them, low quality of life ranked 3rd, and undesirable emotional, adaptive strategies in coping strategies were the fifth (Refaee Saeedi et al., 2019). A systematic review revealed that emotion‐focused behaviours and seeking social support were the main coping strategies used by Iranian women with breast cancer, especially in the early diagnosis phase (Mehrabi et al., 2015).…”

Aim To investigate the mediation/moderation effect between Coping Behaviors (CBs) and Sense of Coherence (SOC) in the prediction of health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) in breast cancer patients. Design Cross‐sectional. Methods A total of 221 patients were included in this study. The 13‐item Orientation to Life Questionnaire, Brief COPE and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy—Breast were investigated. Pearson's correlation coefficient and mediation/moderation analysis were performed. Results Significant correlations were observed for SOC, active coping, acceptance, positive reframing (PR), planning, use of emotional support (UES), use of instrumental support, behaviour disengagement and self‐blame with HRQoL. Except for planning and acceptance, SOC partially mediated the CBs' effect on HRQoL. The UES and PR's effects on HRQoL were significant at lower SOC levels and diminished at higher SOC levels. Conclusion Practitioners can incorporate SOC and adaptive CBs, including PR and UES, into the rehabilitation programmes to improve HRQoL in patients.

“…In a meta-analysis of studies, it was found that the main alterations in these patients were: anxiety, alterations in body image, depression, fatigue and sexual dysfunction. 12 The most important finding of our research was the high frequency of family crises, especially those of a moderate degree (48%). Almost two thirds of patients had a nuclear family, which provides an adequate structure to face the health-disease process, 13 however, there was dysfunction in more than half of the families, which has a significant impact; the combination of these family factors and the disease itself could explain the high frequency of crises found in these patients (89%).…”

Objective: to describe the crisis, functionality and family typology in patients with breast cancer. Methods: Analytical cross-sectional study, conducted between August and December 2021. The sample consisted of 250 patients with breast cancer who met the selection criteria. The presence of family crises was determined with the Holmes-Rahe test. Family functionality was assessed with the Adaptability and Family Cohesion Evaluation Scale iii. The family typology was determined based on its conformation. We perform descriptive and inferential statistics. Odds ratio, Pearson’s χ2 and Mann-Whitney U with 95% confidence intervals (p<0.05) were used for bivariate analysis. Results: the crisis frequency in patients with breast cancer was 89% (personal illness, changes in sleeping habits, diet and family conditions), dysfunctional families were present in 58% and the most frequent family typology was nuclear (63%). Conclusion: a high percentage of patients with breast cancer have family crises, which were generated during the disease process.

“…Breast cancer was the most prevalent cancer among women and the second leading cause of cancer death in women ( 40 , 41 ). Evidence suggested that depression was one of the most common psychiatric disorders in breast cancer patients, with over half (58%) of patients within the female breast cancer population experiencing mild depressive symptoms and 38% experiencing major depression ( 42 , 43 ). Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) was currently an effective intervention for psychiatric disorders associated with cancer treatment.…”

The efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy for cancer: A scientometric analysis

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the most recognized psychological interventions to improve the overall quality of life of cancer survivors. To analyze current research trends in the field of the link between CBT and cancer and to provide potential future research directions, we conducted the scientometric analysis. The study was conducted on all documents in this field from 2012 to 2022 retrieved from Web of Science. Then Biblioshiny, VOSviewer software, and CiteSpace software were used for getting the information of article postings and citations, countries, institutions, journals, authors, and keywords. The number of documents about the link between CBT and cancer from 2012 to 19 July 2022, was 619, with 476 of articles and 143 of reviews. The number of annual publications has been fluctuating, with the highest number of publications in 2020. The country with the maximum number of publications and citations was the US. The University of Houston was the organization with the highest quantity of publications and total link strength (TLS). Psycho-Oncology was the most active journal in the field and has the highest h-index. Zvolensky MJ was the author with the highest quantity of publications. The most cited keywords were “Quality-of-life,” “Cognitive-behavioral therapy,” “Depression,” “Cognitive therapy” and “Breast-cancer.” And as evidenced by the keyword citations, the focus of this research area has gradually shifted to the mental health of patients and the underlying pathogenesis. The impact of CBT in cancer treatment is now well established and has gradually evolved toward symptom-specific treatment. However, the relationship between CBT and cancer has not been further developed. Future research is needed to be further developed in the identification of a generic formula for CBT in cancer and the exploration of mechanisms of CBT and cancer.
