METHODS: A descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted among 328 women with breast cancer at a training and research hospital in Türkiye. Data were collected with the \"Descriptive Information Form\" and the \"Stress Coping Styles Scale (SCSS)\".
RESULTS: Women\'s SCSS score was 47.26±6.39 (effective) and 37.76±6.33 (ineffective). The SCSS score were not significantly different between CAM users and non-CAM users (p>0.05). The prevalence of CAM use was 36%, the most common types of CAM were herbal products (55.1%) and prayer (33.8%) and the reasons for using CAM were for relaxation (symptomatic) (43.2%). As a result of multivariate logistic regression analysis, level of income, working, number of living children, receiving chemotherapy, receiving surgery, having a family history of cancer, and the interest of their partner after the disease were associated with effective coping with stress (p<0.05, adjusted R2=0.08, 0.05, and 0.33 respectively). Working, receiving chemotherapy, receiving surgery, stage of cancer, and having a history of cancer in a social environment were associated with ineffective coping with stress (p<0.05, adjusted R2=0.14 and 0.11 respectively).
CONCLUSIONS: One-third of women were using CAM and had a good level of approaches to coping with stress. Healthcare providers, especially gynecology-oncology nurses, should provide counseling on CAMs and develop strategies for coping with stress for women with breast cancer.
方法:在Türkiye的一家培训和研究医院对328名乳腺癌女性进行了描述性和横断面研究。使用“描述性信息表”和“应力应对样式量表(SCSS)”收集数据。
结果:女性的SCSS评分分别为47.26±6.39(有效)和37.76±6.33(无效)。CAM用户与非CAM用户的SCSS评分差异无统计学意义(p>0.05)。CAM使用率为36%,最常见的CAM类型是草药产品(55.1%)和祈祷(33.8%),使用CAM的原因是放松(有症状)(43.2%).作为多元逻辑回归分析的结果,收入水平,工作,活着的孩子的数量,接受化疗,接受手术,有癌症家族史,患病后伴侣的兴趣与有效应对压力有关(p<0.05,调整后的R2分别为0.08、0.05和0.33)。工作,接受化疗,接受手术,癌症阶段,在社会环境中有癌症史与应对压力无效相关(p<0.05,调整后的R2分别为0.14和0.11)。
结论:三分之一的女性使用CAM,并且有良好的应对压力的方法。医疗保健提供者,尤其是妇科肿瘤科护士,应提供有关CAM的咨询,并制定应对乳腺癌女性压力的策略。
