Chemotherapy, as one of the common treatments for breast cancer, is associated with many side effects including pain, which negatively affects the physical and psychological health of patients. Some studies have shown that mindfulness-based interventions can lead to a reduction in cancer patient’s pain and life expectancy. However, some studies reported conflicting results.

The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Mindfulness integrated Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MiCBT) on the pain and life expectancy of women with breast cancer during chemotherapy.

The current research design was a semi-experimental pre and post test with a control group ans a one-month follow-up. For this purpose, 28 breast cancer patients aged 19-70 in 2022 were purposefully selected from medical centers in Shiraz city and randomly assigned to two groups of intervention and control (14 patients for each group). The intervention group received six-week sessions (90 minutes) of MiCBT group therapy (Cayoun et al., 2018), while the control group used the common chemotherapy method. Both groups were evaluated using a Brief Pain Inventory (Cleeland, 1991) and Hope Scale (Snyder et al., 1991). In addition, multivariate analysis, variance analysis with repeated measures and Bonferroni post hoc was used to analyze the data with SPSS26 software.

The intervention group had significantly lower pain scores (F(1,25)= 72312, p< 0.01, η2= 0.73) and higher life expectancy scores (F(1,25)= 9.62, p< 0.01, η2= 0.72) in the post-test. In addition, the differences remained significant in follow-up (p< 0.05).

Based on the findings, MiCBT moderated pain and life expectancy of breast cancer patients. Further studies are required to assess the efficacy of the MiCBT intervention in larger randomized trials.

Cancer is one of the most common diseases that seriously threatens human life today, which causes psychological symptoms in addition to physical symptoms and threatens people's mental health. The present study was conducted with the aim of the prediction of mental health based on religious coping strategies and self-efficacy in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy in 2019.

The current research is applied in terms of purpose and analytical-correlation type. The statistical population of the research included all the patients suffering from all types of cancer who referred to chemotherapy centers in Shiraz in 2019, and 135 of them were selected by available sampling method. The research tools included Goldberg’s General Health Questionnaire (1997), Pargament's Religious Coping Scale (2000), and Scherer's Self-Efficacy Scale (1982). In order to analyze the data, Pearson correlation coefficients and stepwise regression were used.

Based on the results, the variables of religious coping strategy and self-efficacy were able to predict mental health changes in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Also, among the components of the religious coping strategy, the negative religious coping strategy had the most negative effect on the patients' mental health.

Religious coping strategies and self-efficacy are effective in the mental health of cancer patients, therefore it is suggested to improve these variables in these patients.
