Abstract

Introduction: Cancer as a formidable diagnosis causes the loss of life expectancy in patients. This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of logotherapy on the life expectancy of cancer patients in the 5th Azar Hospital of Gorgan, Iran. Methods: This quasi-experimental study with two intervention and control groups was conducted on 40 cancer patients referred to Gorgan’s 5 Azar hospital in Golestan province in the north of Iran from 1 March 2019 to 1 December 2019. The samples were selected by simple random sampling method. The Snyder’s Hope Scale (AHS) was used for data collection. In the logotherapy group, eight 60-90 minute-long sessions were performed in 4 groups included 5 participants. The data were analyzed by SPSS-16 statistical software using descriptive statistics (mean table and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (paired t-test and ANOVA test). Results: The result of the paired t-test showed no significant difference before and after the intervention in the control group (P = 0.67), but this test showed a significant difference in the intervention group before and after the intervention (p = 0.01). The ANOVA test also showed a significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.01). Conclusion: Considering the effectiveness of logotherapy on increasing the life expectancy of cancer people, it is recommended that relevant authorities should try to use this low-cost method to address the problems related to the meaning of life and life expectancy in cancer patients, and change the attitude of patients towards life expectancy.

团体意义治疗对伊朗北部癌症患者预期寿命的影响:一项准实验研究

简介：癌症作为一种可怕的诊断导致患者预期寿命的缩短。本研究旨在确定在伊朗戈尔根第五阿扎尔医院，标识疗法对癌症患者预期寿命的有效性。方法：这项由两个干预组和对照组组成的准实验研究于2019年3月1日至2019年12月1日对伊朗北部戈勒斯坦省Gorgan’s 5 Azar医院的40名癌症患者进行。样品采用简单的随机抽样方法。数据收集采用斯奈德希望量表（AHS）。在标识治疗组中，分4组进行了8次60-90分钟的疗程，其中包括5名参与者。数据采用SPSS-16统计软件进行分析，采用描述性统计（均值表和标准差）和推断统计学（配对t检验和方差分析检验）。结果：对照组干预前后配对t检验结果无显著性差异（P=0.67），但干预组干预前后差异有显著性（p＝0.01），ANOVA检验也有显著性差异（p＜0.01），建议有关部门尝试用这种低成本的方法来解决癌症患者生命意义和预期寿命的相关问题，改变患者对预期寿命的态度。
