要旨
目的:がんの再発不安は,治療後のサバイバーに共通してみられ,強い再発不安はQOLやwell-beingに影響することが明らかとなっているが,効果的な看護介入は明らかになっていない.本研究は,乳がんサバイバーが再発不安をマネジメントするための複合的看護介入プログラムを開発し,その効果について検討することを目的に実施した.
方法:本研究は,単群による介入研究デザインを用いた.介入として,乳がんサバイバーのストレスマネジメント,症状マネジメント,健康行動を促進するために,3回のサポートグループと2回の個別相談から成る5週間のプログラムを提供し,primary outcomeをがんの再発不安,secondary outcomeをQOL,コーピングとし,介入前(T1),介入後(T2),3カ月後(T3)に評価した.
結果:2施設から再発不安のある乳がんサバイバー22名が研究に参加した.再発不安のスコアはT1に比べT3で有意に改善し,QOLはT2およびT3で有意に改善した.コーピングのスコアには有意な変化はみられなかった.
結論:本研究では,乳がんサバイバーの再発不安,QOLにおいて良好な結果が得られ,今回開発した複合的看護介入プログラムは乳がんサバイバーが再発不安をマネジメントするのに有用である可能性が示唆された.介入の有効性を検証するために,さらなる研究が必要である.
Purpose: Fear of cancer recurrence is common among survivors after treatment, and higher fear of cancer recurrence affects quality of life and well-being. However effective nursing interventions have not been identified. This study aimed to develop a complex nursing intervention for managing fear of cancer recurrence among breast cancer survivors and to investigate its effectiveness.
Methods: In this single-arm study, the breast cancer survivors attended a five-week program to promote stress management and symptom management and to adopt healthy behaviors. This comprised three support- group sessions and two one-to-one counseling sessions. The primary outcome was fear of cancer recurrence; secondary outcomes included quality of life and coping. Participants' status was examined pre-intervention (T1), immediately post-intervention (T2), and three months post-intervention (T3).
Results: Twenty-two breast cancer survivors with fear of cancer recurrence from two outpatient facilities participated in the study. Fear of cancer recurrence significantly improved at T3 compared to T1; quality of life significantly improved at T2 and T3. No significant improvement was observed in coping scores.
Conclusions: The study showed positive results in breast cancer survivors' fear of recurrence and quality of life, suggesting that the complex nursing intervention program developed in this study may be useful in helping breast cancer survivors manage their fear of recurrence. Further studies are required to verify the intervention's effectiveness.
