Langone Explores Spirituality as Stress Relief for Cancer Patients
Researchers at NYU Langone Health, in collaboration with Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, found that discussing religion and spirituality during radiation therapy helps manage stress symptoms in gynecologic cancer patients.
The research, published in Practical Radiation Oncology, utilized the FICA Spiritual History Tool to explore how belief systems impact patient experience. This tool assesses faith, importance, community, and addressing spiritual needs.
- The study involved 11 women from various faiths, including Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, and Jewish, who had received external beam radiation therapy for gynecological malignancies.
- On average, 9.5 out of 11 questions asked using the FICA tool were found helpful by participants.
