[Intervention focused on resources to reduce anxiety and depression disorders in cancer patients: A pilot study].

CONCLUSION: Patients' qualitative feedback highlighted the potential feasibility and adaptability of the program for this population. The results of this preliminary study show promising avenues for research in the field of cancer patients' adaptive coping enhancement as well as reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. This type of workshop can be considered as complementary to individual psychotherapies as they may tap into different mechanisms that help foster psychological flexibility as the group format enhances decentering processes. Further research avenues are proposed in order to assess the efficacy of such interventions in cancer patients compared to other types of interventions. Further research should also look into individual differences in order to orient patients towards practices that fit them best. PMID: 31610923 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
