Cancer is acknowledged as a source of stress for many individuals, often leading to suffering, which can be long-lasting. Mindfulness-based stress reduction offers an effective way of reducing stress among cancer patients by combining mindfulness meditation and yoga in an 8-week training program. The purpose of this study was to inspect studies from October 2009 to November 2015 and examine whether mindfulness-based stress reduction can be utilized as a viable method for managing stress among cancer patients. A systematic search from Medline, CINAHL, and Alt HealthWatch databases was conducted for quantitative articles involving mindfulness-based stress reduction interventions targeting cancer patients. A total of 13 articles met the inclusion criteria. Of these 13 studies, 9 demonstrated positive changes in either psychological or physiological outcomes related to anxiety and/or stress, with 4 describing mixed results. Despite the limitations, mindfulness-based stress reduction appears to be promising for stress management among cancer patients.
癌症被认为是许多人压力的来源，常常导致痛苦，且这种痛苦可能会持续很长时间。基于正念减压疗法通过在一个为期8周的训练项目中结合正念冥想和瑜伽，为癌症患者提供了一种有效的减压方式。本研究的目的是检索2009年10月至2015年11月的研究，并考察基于正念减压疗法是否可作为管理癌症患者压力的一种可行方法。对Medline、CINAHL和Alt HealthWatch数据库进行了系统检索，以查找涉及针对癌症患者的基于正念减压干预措施的定量文章。共有13篇文章符合纳入标准。在这13项研究中，9项显示出与焦虑和/或压力相关的心理或生理结果有积极变化，4项描述了混合结果。尽管存在局限性，但基于正念减压疗法在癌症患者的压力管理方面似乎很有前景。
