Quasi-experimental design compares mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and acceptance commitment therapy, indicating improvements in self-efficacy and uncertainty tolerance.
Key Points
Both mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and acceptance commitment therapy significantly improved pain self-efficacy in women with breast cancer.
Statistical analysis revealed significant differences in effectiveness between the therapies for managing intolerance of uncertainty and improving self-efficacy.
Quasi-experimental design utilized a pretest-posttest format with three groups: two therapy groups and one control group.
Findings suggest using these therapies alongside medical treatments could enhance patient care and outcomes, especially during chemotherapy.
