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

Individuals undergoing ostomy surgery frequently encounter various physical, emotional, and social challenges that may adversely affect their quality of life. Continuous Nursing Care (CNC) has been recognized for its potential in strengthening self-care skills and decreasing the incidence of postoperative complications. This review seeks to evaluate the influence of CNC on enhancing life quality and addressing complications among individuals with an ostomy. Objective to determine the effectiveness of Continuous Nursing Care (CNC) in improving quality of life and managing complications among patients undergoing ostomy surgery. This systematic review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. A comprehensive literature search was performed for studies published between 2019 and 2023, utilizing Boolean operators and MeSH terms: ("nursing" OR "nurse" OR "care") AND ("ostomy" OR "stoma") AND ("continuous") AND ("management") AND ("quality of life") AND "complication", across five electronic databases: Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and ProQuest. The initial search yielded 968 articles. After removing 28 duplicates, 940 articles remained for title and abstract screening. A total of 151 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility, and 13 studies met the inclusion criteria for the final synthesis. The included studies comprised randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-experimental designs evaluating Continuous Nursing Care (CNC) interventions among ostomy patients, with outcome measures including quality of life, self-care ability, psychological well-being, and complication management. Methodological quality was appraised using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal tools for both RCTs and quasi-experimental studies. Only studies scoring above 65% were included in the final analysis. Thirteen studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. CNC interventions including structured education, telehealth services, home-based care, and psychosocial support were shown to enhance quality of life, improve self-care abilities, and reduce complications after surgery. Furthermore, CNC demonstrated effectiveness in decreasing peristomal infections, psychological distress (e.g., anxiety and depression), and in promoting self-efficacy and emotional adjustment in ostomy patients. Continuous Nursing Care (CNC) has been identified as a promising strategy to enhance quality of life, psychological health, and self-care capacity, while also reducing the risk of complications in individuals with an ostomy. Nonetheless, the variability in intervention models highlights the necessity for additional research utilizing theory-based frameworks, larger sample sizes, and meta-analytic methods to determine the most effective care approaches.

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.
