“…Marriage provides structural and functional support, resulting in an overall biological, psychological and economic advantage that may make these cancer patients more health aware [ 66 ]. On the other hand, according to previous evidence [ 67 ], the significant association between low PSS and a fair or poor/very poor self-perceived health status seems to suggest that these negative interactions with members of their local network might be an upsetting stressor.…”

The psychological, physical and social well-being components may differ for cancer patients living in urban vs. rural zones. This study aimed to examine the common mental disorders (CMDs), functional limitation (FL) and perceived social support (PSS) of rural and urban Spanish cancer patients from 2006 to 2017, to compare sociodemographic variables, health-related determinants and use of healthcare resources and to identify which sociodemographic and health-related factors were related to CMDs, FL and PSS. We performed a cross-sectional study among cancer patients using data from the Spanish National Health Surveys (2006, 2011 and 2017). A total of 698 of the subjects resided in rural areas and 1824 in urban areas. Binary logistic and multiple linear regressions were performed to determine the factors related to CMDs, FL and PSS. Rural residents visited their general practitioners more frequently than the city dwellers (61.03% vs. 56.63%, p = 0.04). A decreased prevalence of CMDs was observed among urban individuals over time (2006: 39.13%, 2011: 38.87%, 2017: 34.30%; p for trend = 0.04). Among rural residents, FL was associated with age, educational level and self-perceived health status, while among city dwellers, PSS was linked to marital status, nationality, having chronic conditions and self-perceived health status.

“…Women were also able to identify significantly more often with rather pessimistic statements and reported with alarming frequency that they often feel “everything was up to them.” Other studies also show that, e.g., breast cancer patients feel insufficiently supported in their social networks and that younger female patients particularly suffered more frequently from depression and anxiety ( Linden et al, 2012 ). We therefore hypothesize that this patient group could particularly benefit from interventions oriented toward behavioral therapy, supporting the cultivation of a positive mindset, but also from socio-medical counseling ( Salakari et al, 2017 ; Sousa Rodrigues Guedes et al, 2020 ; Zainal et al, 2021 ). Evidence for both single interventions and multimodal programs continues to grow ( Latte-Naor and Mao, 2019 ).…”

Mind–body-medicine in oncology—from patient needs to tailored programs and interventions: a cross-sectional study

et al. 2023

IntroductionNational and international guidelines recommend early integration of evidence-based multimodal interventions and programs, especially with a focus on relaxation techniques and other Mind–Body-based methods to maintain the quality of life of oncology patients, improve treatment tolerability, and promote healthy lifestyle behaviors. Consequently, we aim to understand what drives patients and how they navigate integrative medicine to best advise them. This study aimed to detect possible topics of particular interest to patients and identify the patient groups that could benefit most from further programs. Furthermore, we aimed to investigate if patients are open-minded toward integrative oncology concepts and learn about their motivational level to maintain or change behavior.MethodsBetween August 2019 and October 2020 we surveyed patients undergoing oncological therapy in a university oncological outpatient center using a custom-developed questionnaire based on established Mind–Body Medicine concepts.ResultsWe included 294 patients with various cancers. More than half reported problems sleeping through (61%) and 42% felt stressed frequently, invariably rating this as detrimental to their health. Moreover, a slight majority (52%) felt physically limited due to their disease and only 30% performed defined exercise programs. Women were significantly more likely to feel stressed and reported with alarming frequency that they often feel “everything was up to them.” The 40–65-year-olds reported significantly less restful sleep, more stress and were more dissatisfied with their situation. However, this group already used natural remedies most frequently and was most often motivated to use relaxation techniques in the next 6 months. The lower the perceived individual energy level (EL), the less frequently patients did sport, the more frequently they felt their disease impaired their activity, mostly feeling stressed and tense. We also found significant associations between negative emotions/thoughts and the variables “sleep,” “use of relaxation techniques,” “personal stress perception,” and “successful lifestyle modification.”ConclusionMind–Body programs that focus on patient’s individual resources, with tools to explore impairing patterns of self-perception and cognitive biases, can be a valuable resource for oncology patients and should therefore be part of an integrative medical treatment concept.

“…Una vez finalizado el tratamiento las mujeres no sienten una continuidad en su atención. Este hecho lleva a la mujer con más recursos a buscar alternativas y satisfacer sus necesidades de forma privada (Sousa Rodrigues Guedes et al, 2020). A su vez, las mujeres describen cambios a nivel laboral como consecuencia de la enfermedad (Bilodeau et al, 2019).…”

El apoyo social percibido por la mujer tras el diagnóstico de cáncer de mama se relaciona con su calidad de vida y es predictor de la adaptación a la enfermedad. Objetivos: Comprender la evolución del apoyo social percibido por la mujer e identificar el apoyo social dos años después del diagnóstico de cáncer de mama. Métodos: Se diseñó un estudio cualitativo fenomenológico. La recogida de datos se realizó a través de entrevistas semi-estructuradas a 16 mujeres diagnosticadas de cáncer de mama en el 2016. Sobre las entrevistas se realizó un análisis de contenido temático entorno a las categorías principales del social (apoyo emocional, apoyo instrumental y apoyo informacional) asistido por el programa Nvivo v.12. Resultados: Del análisis de los datos emergieron 6 categorías temáticas: 1) Cuidadora y cuidada a lo largo del cáncer de mama, 2) Expectativas y satisfacción con el apoyo social recibido, 3) Necesidades y autocuidado durante el tratamiento, 4) Falta de apoyo instrumental: un problema estructural, 5) Información: problema o solución, 6) Falta de apoyo informacional como origen de problemas en el periodo de seguimiento. Conclusiones: El apoyo social recibido por la mujer con cáncer de mama disminuye con el tiempo y dos años después del diagnóstico se percibe una falta de apoyo sobre todo de tipo instrumental.
