Breast cancer is the second most prevalent disease among women in India and one of the most dangerous and lethal. Chemotherapy-treated breast cancer patients may have perceived stress, which is defined as emotions of mental or physical exhaustion that make them feel angry or anxious. Mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) gives some ideas in line with the conventional mindfulness technique.
(i) To assess the effect of MBI on perceived stress among breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. (ii) To determine the association between perceived stress with selected demographic variables among breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
The current quantitative pre- and postexperimental study was carried out in two oncology departments of selected cancer hospitals, Bhubaneswar. A total number of 40 breast cancer patients of perceived stress receiving chemotherapy and data were gathered by using a self-structured socio-demographic proforma and a structured Perceived Stress Scale 10. The experimental group received MBI, and a posttest was conducted on the 17 day on both the groups after 10 days of the termination of intervention. This MBI was provided to breast cancer patients for five sessions over five days continuously, each session for 45 min with mindfulness breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation techniques, practising meditation, and guided imagery technique.
The study findings illustrated that reduction of perceived stress among female breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy with ( = 2.2463) ( = 0.0306) at the < 0.05; furthermore, there is one socio-demographic variable which had association with perceived stress that is history of psychiatric illness ( = 14.1176) ( = 0.0009) and others had no association with perceived stress.
MBI was an effective therapy for reducing the perceived stress of breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
乳腺癌是印度女性中第二大常见疾病，也是最危险和致命的疾病之一。接受化疗的乳腺癌患者可能会有感知到的压力，这种压力被定义为精神或身体疲惫的情绪，使他们感到愤怒或焦虑。基于正念的干预（MBI）给出了一些与传统正念技巧一致的理念。
（i）评估MBI对接受化疗的乳腺癌患者感知压力的影响。（ii）确定接受化疗的乳腺癌患者中感知压力与选定人口统计学变量之间的关联。
当前的定量实验前和实验后研究在布巴内斯瓦尔选定的癌症医院的两个肿瘤科进行。共有40名接受化疗且有感知压力的乳腺癌患者，通过使用自行构建的社会人口统计学表格和结构化的感知压力量表10收集数据。实验组接受MBI，在干预结束10天后的第17天对两组进行后测。这种MBI连续五天为乳腺癌患者提供五节课程，每节课程45分钟，包括正念呼吸练习、渐进性肌肉松弛技术、冥想练习和引导意象技术。
研究结果表明，接受化疗的女性乳腺癌患者的感知压力降低（=2.2463）（=0.0306），在<0.05时；此外，有一个社会人口统计学变量与感知压力有关，即精神疾病史（=14.1176）（=0.0009），其他变量与感知压力无关。
MBI是一种有效降低接受化疗的乳腺癌患者感知压力的疗法。
