인지행동간호중재가 방사선 치료 중인 유방암 여성의 불안과 우울에 미치는 효과 = Effects of a Cognitive-Behavioral Nursing Intervention on Anxiety and Depression in Women with Breast Cancer undergoing Radiotherapy

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of a cognitive-behavioral nursing intervention on anxiety
and depression of patients with breast cancer undergoing radiotherapy. Methods: A nonequivalent control group design
was used for the study. The research participants were patients with breast cancer (N=71; experimental group=35, comparison
group=36) who received radiotherapy at P university hospital. The experimental group received a 6-week cognitivebehavioral
nursing intervention (2 hr/week), which included nursing counseling, education about treatment choices for
breast cancer and possible side effects and management strategies during radiotherapy, and rehabilitation exercise. Results:
Following the intervention, the experimental group showed significantly lower levels of anxiety (Experimental group=34.60
±6.35, Comparison group=44.63±9.93, t=3.552, p<.001) and depression (Experimental group=10.20±6.61, Comparison
group=17.81±10.85, t=3.542, p<.001) than the comparison group. Conclusion: The findings from this study showed
that cognitive-behavioral counseling applied by nurses is very effective to reduce anxiety and depression among patients
with breast cancer. Therefore, providing nursing counseling to broader spectrum of patients with cancer should be considered.
Further research would warrant future clinical application of nursing counseling.
