Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Evaluate coping with cancer after the inclusion of a spiritual practice/intervention, assessed by the Problem Coping Mode Scale (EMEP). Data collected before the intervention and after 6 sessions of the spiritual intervention (for the experimental group) and in an equal period for the control group. To assess whether there was better coping with the disease because of the intervention, changes in the scores of the EMEP scale were evaluated, comparing them with the scores of the control group. At the end of the study, the intervention group scores were compared to the control group and statistically no differences were observed in the coping score between the groups. | — |
