Abstract: (82 Views)
This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Group Mindfulness‑Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) on treatment adherence, existential anxiety, and stress‑coping strategies in men with gastric cancer. The research employed a quasi‑experimental design with pretest–posttest and a control group. The study population consisted of male patients with gastric cancer in Urmia during the first half of 2025. A total of 30 participants were selected through purposive sampling and randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. Data were collected using the Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS; Morisky et al., 2008), the Existential Anxiety Scale (EAS; Good & Good, 1974), the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS; Endler & Parker, 1995), and an eight‑session MBSR protocol (one session per week, 90 minutes each). Data analysis was conducted using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). The findings indicated that, after controlling for pretest scores, there were significant differences between the experimental and control groups in posttest treatment adherence, existential anxiety, and coping strategies (p < .001). MBSR increased treatment adherence and problem‑focused coping, while reducing existential anxiety and emotion‑focused and avoidance‑focused strategies (p < .001). It can be concluded that MBSR plays an effective role in enhancing psychological well‑being in men with gastric cancer by improving treatment adherence and coping strategies and reducing existential anxiety.
Keywords: Mindfulness‑Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Treatment Adherence, Existential Anxiety, Stress‑Coping Strategies, Gastric Cancer.
