Summary

This research aims to investigate the effect of mindfulness-based stress reduction training given before mastectomy on postoperative early period pain and the fear of movement caused by pain. According to the World Health Organization, 18.1 million new cancer diagnoses are made each year, with breast cancer being the most common type among women, accounting for 24.2% of all cancers diagnosed. In Turkey, the incidence of breast cancer was determined as 22,345 in 2018. Breast cancer significantly affects women's quality and length of life. Surgical intervention is the most commonly chosen treatment method for cases of localized breast cancer. Pain and limited movement are among the most common problems encountered after surgery. Non-pharmacological methods have been shown to be effective in pain management, with the mindfulness-based stress reduction technique being one of these methods. This technique is described as an effective treatment for conditions such as pain, depression, and addiction, with high levels of mindfulness being associated with greater self-esteem, optimism, and empathy, whereas low levels of mindfulness are linked to depression, anxiety, chronic pain, and acute pain.

Interventions

OTHER

MBSR surgical nursing care

This study delivered an eight-session mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program online to its intervention group, each lasting about two hours, incorporating daily exercises monitored via phone. The evaluation of MBSR's effectiveness focused on postoperative pain at 6, 12, 18, and 24 hours after surgery and assessed fear of movement before starting arm exercises on the 5th day post-mastectomy. This approach provided a detailed examination of MBSR's role in pain and movement fear management, highlighting its potential as a preoperative care component for breast cancer patients.
