Psychological effects and therapeutic role of group counseling in women diagnosed with breast cancer
Session
Psychology
Description
This paper focuses on the implementation of a counseling technique such as group therapy for women diagnosed with breast cancer, the focus is on generating a better emotional coping strategy in their tumor disease. The research focuses on the psychological effects of women diagnosed and being treated in Tirane, Albania.
According to studies, counseling group therapy is very effective in such medical pathologies that are accompanied by emotional and mental health disorders. Diagnosing and treating cases is a psychological challenge for these women, and precisely starting from this, it is very positive to include them in therapy to allow their general well-being and better coping with the disease.
Next to the multidisciplinary commission of limited ability, 6 patients were randomly selected in a convenient sample, from which 5 of them we received the informed consent to be part of the counseling group.
It is worth mentioning that we are applying group therapy, the process is continuing and their reactions are fastastic and we have gone beyond the expectations, they report very good results after the session ends. I emphasize that this work was a simple humanitarian idea to help a little bit every woman who is fighting with breast cancer, but I have the impression that it is taking the measures of a very important project in the future. That's exactly why I decided to name it "BEYOND OCTOBER".
Keywords:
