Abstract

Objective To explore the effects of mindfulness behavior training on anxiety and quality of life of breast cancer patients with different degree of self-efficacy at perioperative periods. Methods A total of 256 cases of breast cancer patients at perioperative periods were recruited and divided into two groups, with 131 cases in the control group and 125 cases in the intervention group.The control group received drug therapy and conventional care, while the intervention group received mindfulness behavior training on the basis of conventional care and drug therapy.The clinical data of the patients were collected.The influence of mindfulness behavior training on anxiety and the quality of life of breast cancer patients were analyzed. Results The intervention group with 65 CR, 40 PR, 15 SD and 5 PD, and the total effectiveness rate was 96%.While the control group with 55 CR, 45 PR, 12 SD and 19 PD, and the total effectiveness rate was 85.5%, and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). The different dimension scores of SAS and QLSBC of the high-level self-efficacy group was more significantly improved than that of the low-level self-efficacy group(P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the level of mindfulness behavior were negatively correlated with anxiety and quality of life. Conclusions Mindfulness behavior training can improve the psychological status of breast cancer patients with different degree of self-efficacy at perioperative periods and improve their quality of life.
