“…Despite high acceptance that psychosocial care is integral to quality cancer care, anxiety and depression are often undetected and underestimated in busy cancer services , and high unmet need for psychosocial care is persistent in cancer patients . This is despite the large evidence base that interventions for anxiety and depression in patients with cancer are effective in the short and long terms .…”

“…Many patients are anxious about cancer recurrence, the uncertainty of death, and the side effects of cancer treatment, which lower their QoL. [2345] On the other hand, 44.6% of cancer patients use CAM. Most patients use natural products, such as vitamins, minerals, traditional Chinese medicine, and probiotics.…”

Objective:This study was to examine the effect of complementary therapy (CT) for nurses with high stress levels. It was taken before we employ this technique for cancer survivors because cancer patients are a heterogeneous group that requires substantial resources to investigate.Methods:A quasi-experimental design with five groups was employed for this study. The groups were examined whether there were effects for reducing the stress and the differences in effectiveness among four intervention groups and a nonintervention group. Stress relief was measured using pulse rate and blood pressure measurements and the short form of the profile of mood states (POMS-SF). The participants practiced the therapy for 20 min twice per week for 3 weeks. A two-way factorial analysis of variance was used to analyze the data.Results:The study enrolled 98 nurses (92 female and 6 male) with a mean age of 37.3 ± 10.5 years (range: 22–60 years). Fifty-nine nurses had 10 or more years of nursing experience. There were significant differences in pulse rate and the POMS-SF scores. All groups were effective for reducing the stress level of high-stress nurses, whereas four intervention CT groups were not more effective than nonintervention group.Conclusions:The complementary therapies were useful for nurses with high stress levels. Thus, they can be used as a self-management tool for such nurses. Afterward, we will use the CT for cancer survivors to determine whether it can improve the quality of life of cancer patients.

“…Current oncology research indicates the prevalence of anxiety and loneliness in patients with cancer; however, none of these studies relate these variables to spirituality or SWB (Chien, Liu, Chien, & Liu, 2014;Watts et al, 2014;Yang et al, 2013). Anxiety is most often studied alongside depression, whereas loneliness is consistently compared to social support and, less frequently, depression and hopelessness (Watts et al, 2014;Pehlivan, Ovayolu, Ovayolu, Sevinc, & Camci, 2012;Sahin & Tan, 2012).…”

ii Abstract Purpose: To test theorized relationships in the newly developed Faith-Hope-Love Model of Spiritual Wellness (FHLMSW). The research questions were: 1) do measures of faith, hope and love correlate with or predict spirituality as defined by FHLMSW in a palliative care population;and 2) do relationships exist between measures of spirituality and physical symptoms and distress among the same palliative care population. Patients and Methods:This was a descriptive correlational study, which included 21 participants with a stage III or IV cancer diagnosis that were receiving palliative care at a community oncology practice, that took place between January 2015 to March 2015. Each participant completed a 46-item survey that measured five concepts: spiritual well-being (SWB), hope, faith, anxiety, and loneliness.Results: Hope and faith were the best predictors of SWB, accounting for 77.3% and 81% of the variance respectively, and showed strong correlations with SWB (R = .882, p = .000, equal values). Anxiety (fear) negatively correlated with SWB (R = -.523, p = .026). The subscales of the loneliness measure negatively correlated with SWB (p > .10) with the strongest in the Romantic subscale (R = .123). Conclusion:This is the first study where spiritual needs were conceptually and operationally defined, measured, and correlated with each other and with a reliable and valid measure of SWB.Relevance to clinical practice: Palliative care patients at the end of life expect nurses to provide spiritual care. Researchers have reported multifaceted benefits associated with support of spiritual needs. If the FHLMSW is found to be valid, this may help nurses provide more effective spiritual care at the end of life.
