To investigate the effect of a supportive program on coping strategies and stress in women with breast cancer.
A randomized, two-armed, controlled trial.
Sixty women were randomly allocated to intervention group (N = 30) and control group (N = 30). The interventions were held in six sessions, weekly from August 2018-March 2019 It was consisting of education regarding breast cancer; progressive muscle relaxation; stress management; emotional coping; and problem-solving strategies.
At baseline, there was no difference between the two groups regarding the mean score of coping strategies and stress. Supportive program group participants experienced a significantly higher increase on their problem-oriented coping strategies score in comparison with the control group. At the same time, scores in emotion-oriented coping strategies and stress decreased significantly in the intervention group compared with the control group. Result of this study can be used to develop relevant interventions targeting coping strategies to reduce stress among women with breast cancer.
调查支持性方案对乳腺癌女性应对策略和压力的影响。
随机、双臂、对照试验。
60 名女性被随机分配到干预组（N=30）和对照组（N=30）。干预措施共进行 6 次，从 2018 年 8 月至 2019 年 3 月每周一次，包括乳腺癌相关教育；渐进性肌肉松弛；压力管理；情绪应对；和解决问题策略。
在基线时，两组在应对策略和压力的平均得分方面没有差异。与对照组相比，支持性方案组参与者在问题导向的应对策略得分上有显著的增加。同时，干预组的情绪导向应对策略和压力得分与对照组相比显著下降。本研究的结果可用于制定相关干预措施，以应对策略为目标，减轻乳腺癌女性的压力。
