Background and Aim: This study aimed to investigate the effect of cognitive-behavioral stress management (CBSM) on adjustment among females with breast cancer. Materials and Methods: This randomized clinical trial study was conducted on 104 women with breast cancer who visited Hamedan Imam Khomeini Clinic between Feb 3 and Oct 26, 2016, and met the inclusion criteria. The inclusion criteria included being 20 to 60 years old, being married, and having grade 1-3 breast cancer with a history of recent surgery. The subjects were randomly assigned to two groups of 52 subjects, using a permuted block size of 4. The intervention group participated in 4 sessions of CBSM, each 90 minutes long, for a duration of 4 weeks. Data collection was done using a demographic information questionnaire and Bell adjustment questionnaire. The statistical analyst remained unaware of the intervention assignment. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics, paired t-test, and repeated measures ANOVA. Results: There was a significant difference in the mean scores of the total adjustment (P = 0,0001) between the two groups after the intervention. Each variable was calculated three times, prior to the intervention, immediately after and 2 weeks after the intervention. Regardless of the time of measurement, there was a significant difference in the mean score of total adjustment between the two groups (P = 0.0001). Conclusion : The cognitive-behavioral stress management program improved the adjustment immediately and 2 weeks after the intervention was done among women with breast cancer. This method can be implemented as a complementary approach along with medical therapies provided by oncology centers.

AbstractIn this article, we present a theoretically well-founded coaching concept, which can be assigned to the cognitive-behavioral area and which aims to optimally deal with stress. The coaching concept is based on Lazarus’ transactional theory of stress and coping. The three coaching sessions based on this theory are described in as much detail as possible. We explain which exercises can be used and how – both during and between the coaching sessions – in order to provide the best possible support for stress management and goal attainment. The specific procedure is illustrated with the case study “Mr. Smith” and reflected from the coach’s perspective. The description of the cognitive-behavioral stress management coaching (abbreviated to CBSM coaching) and the case study therefore offer both suggestions for experienced coaches and a good guide for newcomers to the field. The effectiveness of the CBSM coaching has already been empirically proven. The results of this already published evaluation study will be presented in the overview. With the theory-based development and the practical presentation of the CBSM coaching concept, a contribution should be made to further close the gap that sometimes arises between coaching research and practice.

Background: Treatment of breast cancer can be accompanied by long-term consequences affecting women’s participation in many tasks. Objective: This study aimed to assess the effect of cognitive behavioral stress management (CBSM) program on occupational performance of women with breast cancer. Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, conducted between Feb 3 and Oct 26, 2016, 104 women with breast cancer who had referred to Imam Khomeini clinic in Hamadan, and who fulfilled the inclusion criteria (20-60 years old, married, suffering from grade 1-3 breast cancer with a history of recent surgery) were enrolled. They were randomly divided into two groups of 52 using a permuted block size of four. The intervention group took part in four 60-minute sessions of CBSM over four weeks. The study data were collected using a demographic information form and the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure. The statistical analyst was masked to intervention allocation. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired t-test, and repeated measures ANOVA. Results: A significant difference was observed between the two groups regarding the mean scores of occupational performance (p=0.02) and satisfaction (p=0.005) after the intervention. Each variable was measured at three time points (before the intervention, immediately and 2 weeks after intervention). A significant difference was observed in the two groups’ mean scores of performance (p=0.026) and satisfaction (p=0.01), irrespective of the time of assessment. Conclusion: The CBSM program promoted the occupational performance immediately and two weeks after the intervention in women with breast cancer. This technique can be used as a complementary method alongside medical therapies in oncology centers.
