Additional stressors linked to the diagnosis, treatment side effects and future uncertainty may lead to emotional challenges. MBNIs offer an optimistic approach to these problems by inducing emotional regulation, depressive symptom reduction and the development of resilience through mindfulness practices. Although MBNIs have been increasingly recognized in mental health care, their effectiveness in oncology remains underinvestigated. Further research is needed concerning its potential benefits in fostering psychological well-being, improving patients' emotional coping with illness and enhancing the treatment experience.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Methods&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;This is a single-group quasiexperiment study adopting a pretest and posttest design, conducted at the Damietta Oncology Institute in Egypt between May and August 2023. This study recruited 88 patients who agreed to participate and were diagnosed with oncological diseases. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) was used to measure depression, and the Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) was used to measure resilience. Data analysis was performed using paired &lt;i&gt;t&lt;/i&gt;-tests and linear regressions. Pearson's correlation was also considered to establish the effects of the intervention and further provide correlations between depression and resilience.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Results&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;There was a significant improvement in depression and resilience following the MBNIs.

Similarly, resilience scores increased from 56.4 ± 5.7 to 64.8 ± 6.3, with &lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; ≤ 0.001 showing an improvement in resilience. The linear regression analysis showed that intervention accounted for 55% of changes in PHQ-9 scores and 41% in CD-RISC scores, thus suggesting that a significant portion of the observed changes in depressive symptomatology and resilience was due to the MBNIs. In addition, both levels of depressive symptomatology and resilience were highly inversely related at preintervention (&lt;i&gt;r&lt;/i&gt; = 0.67 and &lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; = 0.003) and postintervention (&lt;i&gt;r&lt;/i&gt; = 0.58 and &lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; = 0.012).&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 ","PeriodicalId":14223,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nursing Practice","volume":"31 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143595030","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
