Abstract
Objective: There is considerable evidence suggesting that cancer patients suffer from substantial and long-term psychological distress associated with different forms of cancer and its medical treatment. Therefore, the aim of present study was to investigate the effectiveness of psycho-educational interventions on the improvement of psychological well-being in patients with cancer aged 20 to 40 years. Method: In a semi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test and control group, 12 patients with cancer were selected by available sampling method and then randomly designed into tow experimental and control groups. The experimental group participated in 12 sessions of psycho-educational interventions, while control group was not any treatment. The participants completed Well-Being Manifestations Measure Scale (WBMMS). Data were analyzed by SPSS16 software, using one way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Results: The results showed that psycho-educational interventions improved psychological well-being experimental group patients compared to control group. Conclusion: Psycho-educational interventions played a significant role in improving the psychological well-being in patients with cancer.
