Abstract

Bu pilot çalışma, Kadın Yapar Bilişsel Davranışçı Terapi (BDT) programının kanser tanısı almış Türk kadınları arasında depresyon, anksiyete ve umut üzerindeki etkinliğini değerlendirmektedir. Kanser, özellikle de meme kanseri, hastaların psikolojik refahını önemli ölçüde etkileyen yaygın bir durumdur. WomenCan BDT programı, bu kadınların karşılaştığı benzersiz psikososyal stres faktörlerini ele almak üzere özel olarak tasarlanmış olup depresyon ve anksiyete semptomlarını azaltmaya ve umut düzeylerini artırmaya odaklanmaktadır. Çalışma, programı tamamlayan 12 katılımcıyı içeren ön test-son test yaklaşımıyla yarı deneysel bir tasarım kullanmıştır. Sonuçlar, depresyon ve anksiyete düzeylerinde önemli düşüşlerin yanı sıra, özellikle “Olumlu Hazırlık/Beklenti” boyutunda olmak üzere umutta kayda değer artışlar olduğunu göstermiştir. Bulgular, kültürel olarak uyarlanmış BDT programlarının kanserli kadınların ruh sağlığını ve yaşam kalitesini iyileştirme potansiyelinin altını çizmektedir. Bu araştırma, BDT müdahalelerinin Batılı olmayan bağlamlarda uygulanabilirliğine ilişkin değerli bilgiler sunmakta ve kanser hastalarına yönelik psikososyal bakımda kültüre duyarlı yaklaşımların önemini vurgulamaktadır.

Effectiveness of the WomenCan CBT Program on Depression, Anxiety, and Hope: A Pilot Study

Abstract

This pilot study evaluated the effectiveness of the WomenCan Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) program on depression, anxiety, and hope among Turkish women diagnosed with cancer. Cancer, particularly breast cancer, is a prevalent condition that significantly impacts psychological well-being of patients. The WomenCan CBT program was created to specifically address the unique psychosocial stressors women face, aiming to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety while boosting levels of hope. The study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest method, involving 12 participants who completed the program. Results indicated significant reductions in depression and anxiety levels, alongside notable increases in hope, particularly in the “Positive Readiness/Expectancy” dimension. The findings highlight the potential of culturally adapted CBT programs to enhance mental health and quality of life for women with cancer. This research provides valuable insights into the applicability of CBT interventions in nonWestern contexts and highlights the importance of culturally sensitive approaches to psychosocial care for patients with cancer.
