Abstract: Introduction and aim: Employment of mindfulness-based programs and techniques in the treatment of cancer patients have spread exponentially in the past decade. A large number of studies have proved the effectiveness of the program in the reduction of stress symptoms, depression and anxiety, and the improvement of sleep and mood patterns. The present study was done at Firebird Foundation and examines the effectiveness of the complex, MBCR (mindfulness-based cancer recovery)-based psycho-social intervention in the treatment of cancer patients. Method: The experimental group consisted of 101 people with various types and states of cancer. The control group consisted of 72 adjusted people. We did measurements (PPS, HADS, FACT-G, POMS-SF, Freiburg Adaptation Questionnaire) before the intervention (T1), right after the 8-week intervention (T2), and 6 months after the intervention (T3). Results: The experimental group showed significant improvement in the measured psychological variables, and in few aspects of life quality between T1 and T2. There was a decrease in levels of observed stress and depression, and an escalation in optimism and vitality. We found a decrease in depressive and minimizing coping scores as well. There was a significant improvement in two dimensions of quality of life, and all these positive changes remained present by the end of the follow-up period (T3). In the control group, we only found a significant increase in minimizing coping scores at the time of T3 measurements. This is the first impact assessment study done on cancer patients using MBCR techniques in Hungary. Conclusions: The MBCR program is a very effective psychosocial intervention among cancer patients; it has a long term significant impact on mood and quality of life.

Background Gastrointestinal (gi) symptoms are the most notable side effects of chemotherapeutic drugs; such symptoms are currently treated with drugs. In the present study, we investigated the effect of acupuncture on gi symptoms induced by chemotherapy in patients with advanced gastric cancer.Methods A cohort of 56 patients was randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group. All patients received combination chemotherapy with oxaliplatin–paclitaxel. Patients in the experimental group received 30 minutes of acupuncture therapy daily for 2 weeks. The frequency and duration of nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, the average days and costs of hospitalization, and quality-of-life scores were compared between the groups.Results Nausea was sustained for 32 ± 5 minutes and 11 ± 3 minutes daily in the control and experimental groups respectively (p < 0.05). On average, vomiting occurred 2 ± 1 times daily in the experimental group and 4 ± 1 times daily in the control group (p < 0.05). Abdominal pain persisted for 7 ± 2 minutes and 16 ± 5 minutes daily in the experimental and control groups respectively (p < 0.05). On average, diarrhea occurred 1 ± 1 times daily in the experimental group and 3 ± 1 times daily in the control group (p < 0.05). The average quality-of-life score was higher in the experimental group than in the control group (p < 0.05). No adverse events were observed for the patients receiving acupuncture.Conclusions Acupuncture, a safe technique, could significantly reduce gi symptoms induced by chemotherapy and enhance quality of life in patients with advanced gastric cancer.

Background: Among the most important chronic diseases is multiple sclerosis (MS) leading to physical disability and decrease in the patientsʼ quality of life. Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the effect of the royal jelly capsule on the life quality of patients with MS. Methods: This randomized clinical trial study was conducted on a total of 100 patients referring to the MS Society of Hamadan, Iran, in 2018. Allocation sequences were determined using block randomization with a block size of 4, and the subjects were assigned to the intervention and control groups according to a predetermined sequence. The intervention group received one royal jelly capsule (500 mg) daily, and the control group received a placebo capsule for 90 days. The life quality of the patients and their daily activities were evaluated using the specific questionnaire for the life quality of the patients with MS and Barthel Index of Daily Living Activities before and after the intervention. Data analysis was performed by Stata software (version 13) and appropriate statistical tests with a significance level of 0.05. Results: The comparison of the mean score of the patientsʼ life quality showed that it was higher in the experimental group in the post-intervention (66.51±15.08) than that reported for the control group (51.31±15.08) after controlling possible confounding factors, which was statistically significant (P<0.001). Furthermore, Cohen's d (1.01; 95% CI: 0.59-1.42) also indicated the intended large effect size of the intervention. The comparison of daily activity status scores between the two groups also demonstrated an improvement in the experimental group (18.76±1.44), compared to that of the control group (16.96±3.01), which was statistically significant (P=0.001). Conclusions: Based on the findings of the current study, it can be concluded that the use of the royal jelly supplement can be effective in the improvement of the life quality of the patients with MS.

The comparison group – patients operated using endoscopically assisted methods (30 patients), the average age of patients was 44 ± 17,7 years. Psychodiagnostic methods: 1. N. E. Vodopyanova`s scale of life quality; 2. The Short Form-36; 3. S.R. Panteleev`s Assessment of self-relationship. Complaints of paresthesia and pain experienced by patients who underwent a “traditional” operation were revealed as a result of the examination. Operated on with an endoscopically assisted method patients did not present any complaints. Differences between the assessment of the life quality and self-relationship in examined groups were found. Operated on with an endoscopically assisted method patients evaluated life quality, satisfaction with their appearance and physical condition higher than patients operated on with a “traditional” method.
