Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to test the effects of a 10-wk cognitive behavioral stress management (CBSM) intervention vs. a single-day psycho-educational seminar on psychosocial adaptation and physiological adaptation in women being treated for stage I-III breast cancer.
Detailed Description:
The study tests the effects of a 10-wk group-based cognitive behavioral stress management (CBSM) intervention (relaxation, stress awareness, cognitive restructuring, coping skills training, interpersonal skills training) versus a single-day psycho-educational seminar (general information about stress and coping) in women who have recently had surgery for breast cancer but have not yet started adjuvant therapy. The study evaluates the effects of CBSM on psychosocial adaptation (includes measures of negative adaptation \[distress and social disruption\] and positive adaptation \[benefit finding and positive affect\]) at 6-month and 12-month follow-up. The study also evaluates the effects of CBSM on physiological adaptation (includes levels of PM serum cortisol and T-helper-type 1 (Th1) cytokine \[interleukin-2, IL-2, and interferon-gamma, IFN-g, production after anti-CD3 stimulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC).
