- Abstract
The effect on psychological and immune function measures of a 6-week psychological intervention for anxiety states was evaluated in cancer patients who had already completed medical treatment for a tumor. Ten patients were treated with anxiety management and stress inoculation training while another ten served as a waiting list control group. The treated group showed a slight improvement in psychological variables but there were no group differences in immunological measures. Changes in the latter were, however, correlated with changes in psychological variables, notably, an increase in the T4/T8 ratio, with an improvement in the Quality of Life index.
