The culturally adapted cognitive behavioral stress management program for enhancing psychological well-being and self-management of postoperative breast cancer patients: A randomized controlled study protocol in China.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Breast cancer patients often face mental health challenges after prolonged treatment. High incidence and mortality rates, coupled with a shortage of healthcare professionals and heavy clinical workloads, frequently lead to the neglect of psychological care. Developing a targeted and effective psychological intervention for breast cancer patients is therefore crucial. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a culturally adapted cognitive behavioral stress management (CBSM) program on postoperative psychological well-being, disease-related symptoms, and self-management among breast cancer patients in China.

Methods and analysis

A total of 72 postoperative breast cancer participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the control group
