Effectiveness of Logotherapy in Enhancing Quality of Life Among Chronic Kidney Disease Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis: A Systematic Review

Background: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) significantly diminishes the quality of life of affected individuals, often leading to a poor prognosis. Various studies have explored strategies to prevent the decline in quality of life among CKD patients. However, there is limited literature specifically examining the role of Logo Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (LCBT) in improving the health outcomes of hemodialysis patients. Objective: This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of Logo Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (LCBT) in enhancing the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients undergoing hemodialysis. Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted to identify relevant studies utilizing LCBT among hemodialysis patients. Online databases including PubMed, ScienceDirect, EBSCO, Springer, Google, and Google Scholar were searched using specific keywords. Studies were selected based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the PRISMA flow diagram was employed to guide the selection process. Results: A total of ten articles met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. The findings suggest that LCBT is effective in improving HRQoL among hemodialysis patients. The results highlight that LCBT could serve as an adjunct to clinical care, providing comprehensive support and enhancing the psychological well-being of this patient population. Conclusion: LCBT appears to be a valuable supportive therapy for optimizing the standard treatment of hemodialysis patients. However, further research is necessary to evaluate its effectiveness across diverse cultural settings and to determine its long-term benefits in different populations globally.

The effect of group logo therapy on the burden of hemodialysis patients’ caregivers

Introduction: The relationship between caregivers and patients plays a vital role in providing effective care. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of group logo therapy on the burden of hemodialysis patients’ caregivers. Patients and Methods: The present research was a quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest design. The study population was all caregivers of hemodialysis patients in Qazvin. The sample of this study consisted of 100 caregivers (50 participants in the intervention group and 50 participants in the control group) who were selected according to the inclusion criteria and then randomly allocated in two groups. After the initial evaluation of burden in both groups, 10 sessions, (90 minutes for each session) logo therapy was conducted for intervention group. Immediately after the end of the course and one month later, the intensity of caregiver burden in both groups was measured. The data collection tools were demographic questionnaires for the patient and caregiver and the Zarit Burden Interview. Results: In this study we found, the intervention group with a mean score of 44.6±7.4 and the control group with a mean score of 44.8±5.38 experienced severe burden. Regarding the effect of logo therapy on caregiver burden, the results showed that the mean score of burden before the intervention was 44.6±7.4 and immediately after the intervention and one month later were 37.2±12.6 and 2.14±6.34, respectively (P&lt;0.001). Conclusion: The findings showed the positive effect of group logo therapy on reducing the burden of hemodialysis patients’ caregivers. Considering the high level of caregiver burden, it appears that the application of logo therapy in educational programs for dialysis centers is necessary to reduce the caregiver burden and improve the quality of life.

The effect of logotherapy on the expressions of cortisol, HSP70, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and pain scales in advanced cervical cancer patients

ABSTRACTThis study aims to analyze the effect of logotherapy on the expression of cortisol, HSP70, and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and to conduct pain assessments in advanced cervical cancer patients. We carried out this research through pretest–posttest control-group design on the expression of cortisol, HSP70, the BDI, and pain scales after a patient receives logotherapy treatment. Based on a comparative test conducted with the two groups before the treatment, there is no significant difference (p > .05). There is a significant difference (p < .05) after the treatment, however, except for on HSP70. This study suggests that logotherapy affects the expression of cortisol, BDI, and pain scales in advanced cervical cancer patients, and that it does not affect the expression of HSP70.

The Effects of Logotherapy on Depression, Purpose in Life, and Delinquency Impulsivity of Juvenile Delinquents

본 연구의 목적은 비행청소년의 우울, 삶의 목적 및 비행충동 사이의 인과 관계를 살펴보고, 삶의 목적 수준이 낮은 비행청소년들에 대한 의미치료의 효과를 살펴보기 위한 것이다. 연구에 사용된 질문지는 우울척도, 삶의 목적수준 검사 및 비행충동성 척도였다. 먼저 우울과 삶의 목적이 비행충동에 영향을 끼치며 특히 삶의 목적이 비행충동에 미치는 효과가 더 클 것이라고 가정되었다. 분석에 사용된 자료는 전주와 군산지역 보호관찰소에서 보호처분을 받는 청소년 265명을 대상으로 질문지를 실시하여 수집되었다. 수집된 자료를 경로분석 한 결과 삶의 목적이 우울과 비행충동의 관계에서 중요한 매개변인으로 나타났다. 다음으로 의미치료의 효과를 살펴보기 위해, 삶의 목적 수준 검사에서 명백한 삶의 목적 내지 의미상실 단계인 92점 미만에 해당하는 피험자 14명 중에서 7명은 치료집단에, 나머지 7명은 대기통제 집단에 배정하였다. 10회기 동안의 의미치료 후에, 의미치료집단의 삶의 목적이 대기통제집단보다 더 증가하였고, 우울 및 비행충동은 대기통제집단보다 더 감소되었다. 마지막으로 본 연구의 의의와 한계 및 후속연구를 위한 제안이 논의되었다.
