Abstract

Objectives: Patients with BREAST CANCER are predisposed to some psychiatric symptoms and mental disorders due to their life styles or disease conditions. They may have more trouble with emotional and social functioning. Some may feel isolated. There may also be sexual difficulties. These problems cause patients to deal with daily stress, feeling guilty, anxiety, dysphoric mood and impaired social relations. Such problems will lead to serious mental disorders. Therefore, life skills training may help the patients to cope better with them and improve their mental health. Method: In an experimental study, 50 BREAST CANCER patients were selected randomly and assigned to two experimental and control groups. The experimental group attended life skills training programs for 10 weeks continuously (The duration of each session was two hours). Participants in both experimental and control groups completed a GHQ-28 questionnaire before the session and after two weeks to two months the end of the sessions. t-test was used for analyzing the data. Results: In life skills training group, depressive and anxiety symptoms, psycho- somatic and, sleep disorders and social functioning problems significantly decreased (p<0.0001). This change was not observed in the control group. Conclusion: The results showed that life skills training is an effective method in reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety, sleep and somatic disorders. Also, it will be useful in reducing problems of social dysfunction.
