Aims: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction training on body image and biological factors in women with breast cancer.
Materials and Methods: The present study is a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design with two groups (an experimental group and a control group). The statistical population of the study includes all patients with breast cancer referred to Valiasr Hospital in Tabriz. For this purpose, 30 patients who met the inclusion criteria were selected from these patients using the convenience method and randomly assigned to two experimental groups (15 people) and control groups (15 people). Both groups completed the Body Image Questionnaire (MBSRQ) as a pre-test and post-test. To measure serum cortisol, interleukin-6, and interleukin-12, venous blood samples were taken from both control and experimental groups in two stages: pre-test and post-test. The experimental group underwent mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) training by Kabat-Zinn (2005) and the control group did not receive any intervention.
Findings: The findings showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in body image variables and biological factors (cortisol, interleukin 6, interleukin 12). The eta square shows that 9.6% of the variance in body image score, 6.5% of the variance in serum cortisol, 6.3% of the variance in interleukin 6, and 6.7% of the variance in interleukin 12 was due to experimental conditions (P<0.001).
Conclusion: It can be concluded that mindfulness-based stress reduction can help improve body image in breast cancer patients and, as a complement to non-pharmacological treatment, manage the biomarkers of cortisol, interleukin 6, and interleukin 12.
