Cognitive-behavioral stress management program reduces postoperative psychological pressure and improves life quality in prostate cancer patients.
Irish Journal of Medical Science 2023 September 30
OBJECTIVE: Cognitive-behavioral stress management (CBSM) improves mental status and quality of life (QoL) in cancer patients, while its impact on prostate cancer (PC) patients remains unknown. Thus, the study aimed at investigating the potency of CBSM program in ameliorating postoperative anxiety, depression, and QoL in PC patients.
METHODS: Totally, 160 postoperative PC patients were consecutively recruited followed by random assignments to either CBSM (N = 81) or usual care (UC) (N = 79) group as a 1:1 ratio. The patients received the corresponding interventions for 10 weeks then were followed up for 6 months.
RESULTS: CBSM group presented lower Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)-anxiety score and anxiety rate at month (M) 4 and M6 versus UC group (all P < 0.05), but not at M0, M1, and M2. Meanwhile, CBSM group exhibited a lower HADS-depression score versus UC group at M6 (P = 0.036) but no other timepoints; however, CBSM group showed no difference in depression rate versus UC group at any timepoints. Regarding the Quality-of-Life Questionnaire-Core30 (QLQ-C30) evaluation, CBSM group exhibited higher global health status scores at M1 (P = 0.010), M2 (P = 0.001), M4 (P = 0.029), and M6 (P = 0.015), higher functions score at M4 (P = 0.040) and M6 (P = 0.044), but a lower symptom score at M4 (P = 0.034) versus UC group; meanwhile, the above QoL indexes were not different at other timepoints between CBSM and UC groups.
CONCLUSION: CBSM serves as an effective caring program in relieving anxiety and depression as well as improving the QoL in postoperative PC patients.
