摘要：AbstractThe research purpose is to assess the effectiveness of four-factor psychotherapy in decrease of the distress amongst women suffering from breast cancer. Sample of 25 patients was drawn and assigned to the experimental and control groups. The experimental group underwent 12 sessions of four-factor psychotherapy with an emphasis on therapeutic relationship, hope enhancing, awareness promotion and behavior regulation. The distress level of both groups was assessed by Vaziri Subjective Units of Distress (VSUD). Covariance analysis indicated that four-factor psychotherapy has been effective in the decrease of distress among the sufferers. A one-month follow up indicated this reduced level of distress in the mothers remains sustained until follow-up. Overall, it can be concluded that four-factor psychotherapy can significantly decrease the distress among these patients.
