Abstract

Uncontrolled proliferation of cancer cells is the underlying cause of cancer in patients. This community service aimed to enhance cancer patients' knowledge and understanding of pain management using an autogenic relaxation technique incorporating specific movements and guided suggestions. The method involved demonstrations and health education sessions. This activity was attended by 30 cancer patients aged >18 years undergoing radiotherapy or chemotherapy. The study results indicated a 37.3% improvement in the participants' knowledge and understanding of the provided pain management education, increasing from 50% to 87.3%. The application of autogenic relaxation techniques effectively reduced pain intensity, and patients demonstrated increased independence in performing these techniques. Consequently, the quality of life for cancer patients undergoing treatment can be optimized.

Abstract

Psychological stress, such as anxiety and depression, is commonly experienced by women battling breast cancer, and this can significantly interfere with treatment adherence and recovery. Mind-body therapies such as music therapy and guided visualization are increasingly being used to help, although their effectiveness can vary from person to person. This systematic review aims to examine the benefits of these therapies for breast cancer patients. We searched four major databases—PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Wiley Library—for randomized controlled trials from 2015 to 2025. We looked for studies in adult patients using these methods, with anxiety and depression as the primary outcomes measured, and things like stress, quality of life, and overall well-being as additional outcomes. We assessed bias using RoB 2.0 and mapped it with ROBVIS. The entire process followed PRISMA guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO under number CRD420251021032. Due to the high variability in study results, we opted for a narrative summary rather than detailed data analysis. Ultimately, we collected 12 studies covering breast cancer patients in stages 1 to 4. Sessions lasted between 12 and 60 minutes, spread over one to six weeks, and most included several relaxation techniques. Overall, people experienced a steady decrease in anxiety, depression, stress, and other mental pressures, along with better ways to manage emotions and an improved quality of life. It appears that music therapy and guided visualization can indeed make a difference in improving psychological well-being for women with breast cancer. However, it is important to note that these results should be considered carefully due to the uniqueness of the studies and the variation in outcomes. Therefore, moving forward, we need more robust randomized trials with clear intervention methods and standardized outcome tracking to build a stronger case.
