Introduction: Related organ harvesting or excision of cancer is a therapeutic process that may be undertaken in cases where cancer poses a serious threat to specific tissues or organs. This research was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of group meaning-based therapy on body dysmorphic disorder, ambiguity tolerance, and pain perception in patients with cancer-related organ harvesting or excision.
Methods: This study was conducted as a semi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population included all who underwent organ removal due to cancer and lived in Isfahan city in 1402-1403. A sample of 36 people was selected and randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups. The experimental group underwent group meaning therapy intervention for eight sessions, while the control group received no intervention. After the completion of the group meaning therapy sessions, for both the experimental and control groups, the post-test was performed in the last session, and two months after the completion of the therapy sessions, the follow-up test was performed for both groups.
Result: The data of this research were analyzed using variance analysis with repeated measures. The findings of this research showed that group meaning therapy significantly and at a level of less than 0.05 (P<0.05) was able to improve body image, increase ambiguity tolerance, and reduce pain perception in people with cancer-related organ harvesting or excision in the post-examination stage. These results were sustained until the follow-up stage.
Conclusion: The results of the present study have shown that psychological interventions, especially group meaning therapy, can play an effective role in improving the mental state and reducing pain in people with cancer-related organ harvesting or excision.
