“…Two studies reported fear of cancer recurrence (Hasannezhad Reskati et al, 2020; Johns et al, 2020). Owing to the unexplainable high heterogeneity between these two studies, data pooling was abandoned.…”

“…Moreover, the review only included studies conducted in Iran, which affected the comprehensiveness and representativeness of its findings. However, the results of the review showed that ACT is effective in reducing anxiety and depression and promoting quality of life (Hasannezhad Reskati et al, 2018). These reviews have focused on diseases and quantification and only on evaluating benefits and disadvantages.…”

Background:The physical and psychological well-being of patients with breast cancer is an important global issue. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) aims to equip patients with the skills to respond and adapt to difficult circumstances. However, the extent of the physical and psychological outcomes of this therapy in patients with breast cancer remains unclear.Objectives: The aim of the study was to summarize available evidence and assess the efficacy of ACT on physiological and psychological outcomes in patients with breast cancer.Methods: Published randomized controlled studies were identified in MEDLINE, PsycInfo, Embase, Web of Science, CINAHL, and CNKI from inception to December 2019 and Cochrane Library, AMED, and Clinical trials.gov from inception to September 2020. Methodological rigor was assessed by two reviewers using the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Review of Interventions. Sufficient data were statistically pooled with review manager; otherwise, a narrative summary was used.Results: Thirteen trials were included in the review. Methodological quality varied across the studies. Meta-analyses demonstrated that ACT had moderate to large effects on reducing anxiety, depression, and stress and improving hope. Sensitivity analyses reached results similar to those of the meta-analyses. However, the effects of ACT on the physiological symptoms, fear of cancer recurrence, and psychological flexibility of patients with breast cancer remain inconclusive.Discussion: ACT has beneficial effects on the anxiety, depression, stress, and hope of patients with breast cancer. The evidence of ACT on physiological symptoms, fear of cancer recurrence, and psychological flexibility needs to be treated with caution. Further studies are needed and should consider different delivery forms and also explore the mechanisms of each component of ACT under different cultural contexts.

“…The reliability (Cronbach's α > 0.7) and validity of this scale (with coefficients 0.77-0.94) were confirmed (30). The scale was approved for cancer patients in Iran by Hasannezhad Reskati et al in 2022 (31). The questionnaires were filled out twice before and immediately after the study by self-reporting.…”

Background: Fears about the future and uncertainty in multiple sclerosis (MS) can affect the patients’ adaptation and well-being. Objectives: This study investigated the effect of collaborative care on the fear of disease progression in MS patients. Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, patients and their main caregivers were assigned into study groups (36 in the intervention and 43 in the control group) by randomized minimization method. For the intervention group, the collaborative care model was implemented in seven sessions over nine weeks. The data were collected using the Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form (FOP Q-SF). Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics, Shapiro-Wilk, chi-square, Fisher Exact, independent, and paired t-tests. Results: A near-significant difference was found between the groups after the intervention (P = 0.051). However, in intragroup comparisons, the FOP score significantly decreased in the intervention group (P = 0.001) and increased in the control group after the intervention (P = 0.001). Conclusions: Collaborative care could potentially be an effective strategy for managing FOP in patients with MS.

Background: A cancer diagnosis can be psychologically challenging to individuals due to perceptions that the disease is potentially incurable truncating life expectancy. The purpose of the study was to examine the relationships among religious well-being, existential well-being, fear of progression and quality of life in Iranian patients with cancer and to evaluate the potential mediating role of hope on these relationships. Methods: This study with predictive cross-sectional design was done in 2023. Data was gathered from 398 patients with cancer that was selected with accessible sampling method from cancer center of Mazandaran university of medical sciences (Sari, Iran). Study constructs included the religious and existential wellbeing, cancer fear of progression, Snyder Hope, and quality of life. Analysis of a Moment Structures (AMOS) software (v27) was utilized for all study analyses. Covariance based-structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to assess the mediating role of hope. Results: The mean age of patients with cancer was 49.14 (SD = 16.16). The results of the direct effect showed a significant positive relationship between religious well-being and hope (B = 0.164, p < .001), and between hope and quality of life (B = 0.212, p < 0.001). Also, significant negative relationship between fear of progression and hope (B = -0.147, p < 0.05) was founded. Conclusion: A significant positive relationship between hope and quality of life, as well as religious well-being and hope, suggests the influential effects of hope and religious well-being on improving quality of life in patients with cancer. Negative relationships between fear of progression and hope conclude that managing fear of progression may be an important factor in increasing hope and improving quality of life in patients with cancer.
