چکیده:
Objectives: The present research has been carried out to investigate the effectiveness of group
mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on modification of body image and quality of life in
women with breast cancer undergoing mastectomy.
Materials: This research is a quasi-experimental study (pretest-posttest with control). In this
clinical trial, 50 voluntary patients who had undergone mastectomy in 2013 and 2014 were
screened among the patients admitted to Omid Hospital and Reza Treatment Center in Mashhad
and were randomly divided into experimental group (n=25) and control group (n=25). First,
both groups were pretested. Then, the experimental group received group mindfulness-based
cognitive therapy treatments during eight sessions of 120 minutes (one session per week), but
the control group received no treatment. At the end of treatment, both groups received the
post-test. Data collection tools included standard questionnaires EROTIC QLQ-Br 23.V.3 and
the quality of life questionnaire (SF-36). The data were analyzed based on covariance analysis
using SPSS software (Version 20).
Results: Comparison of the mean scores of quality of life and body image showed a significant
difference between the control and experimental groups after receiving the treatment (P<0.01).
In other words, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy was effective on the quality of life and
modification of body image in patients.
Discussion: Group mindfulness-based cognitive therapy can be considered as an effective and
efficient approach to the quality of life and modification of body image in women with breast
cancer who have undergone mastectomy.

Effectiveness of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy on Quality of Life and Body Image in Women With Breast Cancer Undergoing Mastectomy.
Discussion: Group mindfulness-based cognitive therapy can be considered as an effective and efficient approach to the quality of life and modification of body image in women with breast cancer who have undergone mastectomy.
(1999) have concluded that in women who have undergone mastec- tomy, there is a relationship between mood and quality of life due to the fact that the disorder in mental image of body after mastectomy causes persistent stress and anxi- ety in patients with breast cancer and provides the ground for the mood changes [45, 48].
Therefore, the present study was de- signed to determine the effect of group MBCT on the mental image of body and quality of life in women with breast cancer (who have undergone mastectomy).
Descriptive data related to the control group for mental image of body and quality of life in women with breast cancer undergoing mastectomy.
Descriptive data related to the experimental group for mental image of body and quality of life in women with breast cancer undergoing mastectomy.
So group mindfulness-based cognitive therapy can be considered as an effective and efficient approach to the quality of life and modification of body image in women with breast cancer who have undergone mastectomy.
