Abstract

Rak dojke najčešći je rak kod žena te prema podacima Registra za rak Hrvatskog zavoda za javno zdravstvo 2020. godine zabilježeno je 2869 novooboljele žene što znači da svakoj jedanaestoj ženi prijeti oboljenje od raka dojke u Hrvatskoj. Smatra se da dijagnoza raka dojke izaziva veće psihološke teškoće od bilo koje druge dijagnoze te istraživanja pokazuju da pacijentice s rakom doživljavaju veću učestalost stresnih životnih događaja. Samim time, čimbenici povezani sa stresom smanjuju im ukupnu sposobnost da aktivno sudjeluju u zdravstvenom procesu liječenja te u uspješnom izvršavanju svakodnevnih aktivnosti. Upravo zbog navedenih okolnosti, posljednjih godina se povećava broj pacijentica s rakom dojke koje uz konvencionalno liječenje sudjeluju i u komplementarnim oblicima terapija. Jedan od takvih pristupa je i mindfulness koji je pokazao svoju pozitivnu učinkovitost na ublažavanje fizičkih i emocionalnih poteškoća koje su povezane s rakom te u smanjenju simptoma stresa. Pošto je mindfulness pristup i dalje nedovoljno istražen kao komplementarna metoda u liječenju na području Republike Hrvatske, cilj ovog preglednog rada je prikazati rezultate istraživanja o njegovim mogućim utjecajima na raspoloženje i razinu stresa kod žena oboljelih od raka dojke u svijetu, kako bi se pridonijelo osvješćivanju značaja usmjeravanja pažnje tijekom teških i nepredviđenih životnih okolnosti. U navedenim istraživanjima primjenjivale su se znanstveno dokazane učinkovite mindfulness metode te su iste pokazale smanjenje u razinama anksioznosti, depresije i stresa kod eksperimentalne skupine u odnosu na kontrolnu.

Abstract (english)

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, according to the Cancer Registry of the Croatian Institute of Public Health in 2020 there was 2869 newly diagnosed women, which means that every eleventh woman in Croatia is at risk of developing breast cancer. It is thought that diagnosis of breast cancer causes greater psychological distress than any other diagnosis and research shows that cancer patients experience a higher frequency of stressful life events. As a result, stress-related factors reduce their overall ability to actively participate in the health treatment process and successfully fulfill daily activities. Due to the stated circumstances, the number of breast cancer patients who participate in complementary forms of therapy in addition to conventional treatment has been increasing in recent years. One of such approaches is mindfulness, which has shown its positive effects in alleviating physical and emotional difficulties associated with cancer and in reducing stress symptoms. Mindfulness approach is still insufficiently researched as a complementary method in treatment in the Republic of Croatia, so the aim of this review paper is to present the results of research on its possible effects on the mood and stress level in women with breast cancer all around the world, in order to contribute to awareness importance of focusing attention during difficult and unexpected life circumstances. In the mentioned researches were used only scientifically proven effective mindfulness methods and they showed more reduction in the anxiety, depression and stress levels in the experimental group compared to the control group.
