This study aimed to determine the effect of a mindfulness stress management intervention on fear of recurrence and quality of life among female cancer survivors. A longitudinal, randomized design with two groups (60 participants) was used for pretest/posttest comparisons. Twelve weeks of mindfulness stress intervention effectively attenuated fear of recurrence symptoms (T1 = 0.002, T2 = 0.047), and quality of life (T1 = 0.000, T2 = 0.001) significantly increased. The results were significantly different between the intervention and control groups. Over time, group differences became more significant (T1 = 0.002), demonstrating the effectiveness of the mindfulness stress management intervention. When female cancer survivors face uncertain disease progression, fear of recurrence affects their quality of life. When these women receive supportive intervention sooner, their improvement is more significant. Healthcare providers should encourage female cancer survivors to engage in mindfulness stress management actions to achieve a better benefit.
本研究旨在确定正念应激管理干预对女性癌症幸存者复发恐惧和生活质量的影响。采用纵向随机设计，分为两组（每组 60 名参与者）进行前后测比较。12 周的正念应激干预可有效减轻复发恐惧症状（T1=0.002，T2=0.047），生活质量显著提高（T1=0.000，T2=0.001）。干预组和对照组之间的结果存在显著差异。随着时间的推移，组间差异变得更加显著（T1=0.002），表明正念应激管理干预的有效性。当女性癌症幸存者面临不确定的疾病进展时，对复发的恐惧会影响她们的生活质量。当这些女性更早地接受支持性干预时，她们的改善更为显著。医疗保健提供者应鼓励女性癌症幸存者采取正念应激管理行动，以获得更好的益处。
