Crisis intervention: a group-therapy approach for hospitalized breast cancer patients
Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of nursing intervention on the level of depression and the self-esteem of hospitalized breast cancer patients. The theoretical framework was based on crisis theory (Caplan 1964). The population of this study consisted of 18 female hospitalized breast cancer patients. Ten were in the control group and eight in the experimental group. Two self-administered instruments were selected for the pre- and post-testing of all clients. Nursing intervention was employed for the experimental group, over a 2-month period. The findings demonstrated that there was a change in the level of depression and improvement in self-esteem among the subjects in the experimental group after nursing intervention.
