Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Breast cancer is the most common female malignancy. Although chemotherapy is the primary treatment for breast cancer, it frequently has several detrimental side effects. Patients with breast cancer require self-compassion to regulate their emotions in order to cope with their suffering. Factors affecting self-compassion have mostly been investigated in the context of chronic diseases in general, not specifically in relation to patients receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer.
UNASSIGNED: This cross-sectional study sought to describe the self-compassion level and to examine the predictive ability of self-critical judgment, body image, stress, attachment style, social support, hope, and self-reassuring on self-compassion among patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy.
UNASSIGNED: The participants were 210 Thai women with breast cancer who received chemotherapy in northern Thailand and were selected using proportionate random sampling. Data were collected from December 2021 to January 2023 using validated instruments. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and hierarchical regression analysis.
UNASSIGNED: Self-compassion was moderate (Mean = 2.91, SD = 0.91). Self-critical judgment (β = 0.487, p <0.001) and hope (β =0.128, p = 0.032) could predict self-compassion in patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy and explained 40.1% of the variance.
UNASSIGNED: The study\'s findings highlight the importance of addressing self-critical judgment and fostering hope in patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy to enhance their self-compassion. Nurses and other healthcare providers can use the findings to provide interventions to promote self-compassion.
摘要:
乳腺癌是最常见的女性恶性肿瘤。虽然化疗是乳腺癌的主要治疗方法,它经常有几个有害的副作用。乳腺癌患者需要自我同情来调节他们的情绪,以应对他们的痛苦。影响自我同情的因素大多是在慢性病的背景下进行调查的,与接受乳腺癌化疗的患者无关。
这项横断面研究试图描述自我同情水平并检查自我批评判断的预测能力,身体形象,压力,附件样式,社会支持,希望,在接受化疗的乳腺癌患者中,自我安慰自我同情。
参与者是210名泰国乳腺癌患者,他们在泰国北部接受化疗,并采用比例随机抽样进行选择。数据是使用经过验证的仪器从2021年12月到2023年1月收集的。数据采用描述性统计和层次回归分析。
自我同情是中等程度的(平均值=2.91,SD=0.91)。自我批判判断(β=0.487,p<0.001)和希望(β=0.128,p=0.032)可以预测接受化疗的乳腺癌患者的自我同情,并解释了40.1%的方差。
这项研究的发现强调了在接受化疗的乳腺癌患者中解决自我批评判断和培养希望以增强其自我同情心的重要性。护士和其他医疗保健提供者可以利用这些发现提供干预措施来促进自我同情。
