The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of group hypnotherapy on anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, optimism, and social support during chemotherapy, in patients with breast cancer, compared with a control group with standard medical care. Hypnotherapy consisted of 24 sessions that included suggestions to encourage relaxation, self-esteem, the resolution of past traumatic events, physical healing, and optimism. Results show that the hypnotherapy group significantly decreased anxiety, distress, increased self-esteem, and optimism in the first 12 sessions. However, at the end of the 24 sessions, only self-esteem and optimism remained significant compared with the control group. The convenience of using hypnotherapy to encourage optimism and self-esteem in patients with breast cancer during chemotherapy treatment is discussed given its protective effect on health.
本研究的目的是评估团体催眠疗法对乳腺癌患者化疗期间焦虑、抑郁、压力、自尊、乐观和社会支持的影响，并与接受标准医疗护理的对照组进行比较。催眠疗法包括24次疗程，其中包含鼓励放松、自尊、解决过去创伤事件、身体康复和乐观的建议。结果显示，催眠疗法组在前12次疗程中显著降低了焦虑、痛苦，提高了自尊和乐观情绪。然而，在24次疗程结束时，与对照组相比，只有自尊和乐观情绪仍有显著差异。鉴于催眠疗法对健康的保护作用，本文讨论了在化疗期间使用催眠疗法来鼓励乳腺癌患者保持乐观和自尊的便利性。
