METHODS: Twenty-nine breast cancer survivors took part in this study. Before and after the intervention, participants were invited to answer three open questions to evaluate their perceptions of personal evaluations about their relationships and emotions. A Qualitative Thematic Analysis was used to evaluate participants\' answers and to compare the sub-themes that emerged in the two times.
RESULTS: Findings highlighted three main themes: a) caregivers and emotional closeness - family members are generally a crucial point of reference for participants. Friends, colleagues, and healthcare professionals were also cited as relevant figures during the cancer journey and after the psychological intervention; b) emotions towards others - positive and negative emotions towards these figures emerged, and some women felt alone, and c) emotions towards oneself - exploring emotions related to themselves highlighted positive and negative feelings and the desire for change to promote love and care towards themselves. Interestingly, the number of negative emotions towards themselves decreased after the intervention.
CONCLUSIONS: The integrated intervention could promote the reflection on personal relationships and emotions.
方法:29名乳腺癌幸存者参与了这项研究。干预前后,参与者被邀请回答三个开放性问题,以评估他们对人际关系和情绪的个人评价的看法。定性主题分析用于评估参与者的答案,并比较两次出现的子主题。
结果:研究结果强调了三个主要主题:a)照顾者和情感亲密-家庭成员通常是参与者的关键点。朋友们,同事们,在癌症过程中和心理干预后,医疗保健专业人员也被引用为相关数据;b)对他人的情绪-对这些数字的正面和负面情绪出现,有些女人感到孤独,c)对自己的情绪-探索与自己相关的情绪,强调积极和消极的情绪以及对改变的渴望,以促进对自己的爱和关心。有趣的是,干预后对自己负面情绪的数量减少。
结论:综合干预可以促进人际关系和情绪的反思。
