ABSTRACT

This study aimed to assess the feasibility of Attention Restoration Theory (ART)-driven hypnotherapy to address cancer-related fatigue (CRF). Six participants with CRF completed the study. Participants completed measures of fatigue and pain pre- and posttreatment of 5 sessions of ART-driven hypnotherapy, each of which followed a treatment manual. Results indicate that participants experienced reductions in fatigue, fatigue bothersomeness, and pain following the intervention. Additionally, participants reported high levels of treatment satisfaction. This innovative intervention of ART-driven hypnotherapy appears to be feasible and warrants further study in a controlled trial with a larger sample.

摘要

本研究旨在评估注意力恢复理论 (ART) 驱动的催眠疗法解决癌症相关疲劳 (CRF) 的可行性。六名 CRF 参与者完成了这项研究。参与者完成了 5 节 ART 驱动的催眠疗法治疗前后的疲劳和疼痛测量，每节都遵循治疗手册。结果表明，参与者在干预后的疲劳、疲劳烦恼和疼痛都有所减轻。此外，参与者报告了高水平的治疗满意度。这种 ART 驱动的催眠疗法的创新干预似乎是可行的，值得在更大样本的对照试验中进行进一步研究。
