Cognitively-Based Compassion Training (CBCT (R)) in Breast Cancer Survivors: A Randomized Clinical Trial Study
Breast cancer (BC) requires a significant psychological adaptation once treatment is finished. There is growing
evidence of how compassion training enhances psychological and physical well-being, however, there are very few studies
analyzing the efficacy of compassion-based Interventions on BC survivors. Objective. To study the efficacy of the CognitivelyBased Compassion Training (CBCT) protocol in a BC survivor sample on quality of life, psychological well-being, fear of
cancer recurrence, self-compassion, and compassion domains and mindfulness facets. Furthermore, enrollment, adherence,
and satisfaction with the intervention were also analyzed. Methods. A randomized clinical trial was designed. Participants
(n = 56) were randomly assigned to CBCT (n = 28) or a treatment-as-usual control group (TAU; n = 28). Pre-post
intervention and 6-month follow-up measures took place to evaluate health-related quality of life, psychological wellbeing; psychological stress, coping strategies, and triggering cognitions; self-compassion and compassion; and mindfulness
in both intervention and wait-list groups. Results. Accrual of eligible participants was high (77%), and the drop-out rate
was 16%. Attendance to CBCT sessions was high and practice off sessions exceeded expectations). CBCT was effective
in diminishing stress caused by FCR, fostering self-kindness and common humanity, and increasing overall self-compassion
scores, mindful observation, and acting with awareness skillsets. Conclusion. CBCT could be considered a promising and
potentially useful intervention to diminish stress caused by FCR and enhance self-kindness, common humanity, overall selfcompassion, mindful observation, and acting with awareness skillsets. Nevertheless, future randomized trials are needed
and a process of deeper cultural adaptation required
Feasibility of the internet attachment-based compassion therapy in the general population: protocol for an open-label uncontrolled pilot trial
Background: Compassion-based interventions delivered over the internet are showing promising results for the promotion of psychological health and well-being. Several studies have highlighted their feasibility, acceptance, and preliminary efficacy. However, this is an incipient field of research, and to the best of our knowledge, there are no data available from Spanish-speaking countries. Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility, acceptance, and preliminary efficacy of the Internet Attachment-Based Compassion Therapy (iABCT), a web-based version of the Attachment-Based Compassion Therapy, in Spanish speakers from the general population. Methods: This feasibility study features a single-arm, uncontrolled, within-group design with an embedded qualitative and quantitative process evaluation at baseline, immediately after the intervention and at the 3-month follow-up. A minimum of 35 participants from the general population will be allocated to iABCT. Feasibility measures will include attrition rate, patterns of use of the web-based system, and participants' acceptability, usability, and opinion. The primary outcome was measured using the Pemberton Happiness Index. Secondary outcomes were measured using the Compassion Scale, Self-Compassion Scale, Forms of Self-Criticizing/Attacking and Self-Reassuring Scale-Short form, Five Facets of Mindfulness Questionnaire, Relationships Questionnaire, General Health Questionnaire, Non-Attachment Scale, International Positive and Negative Affect Schedule Short Form, Purpose-In-Life Test, and difficulties regarding the practice of compassion (Compassion Practice Quality Questionnaire). Mixed models will be used to evaluate primary and secondary outcome measures. A qualitative content analysis of the participants' qualitative responses will also be performed. Results: Enrollment started in February 2020 and will be finished in April 2020. Data analysis will start in October 2020. Conclusions: To our knowledge, this study will, for the first time, show data on the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of web-based compassion (and self-compassion) training-that is, the adapted iABCT-in Spanish speakers from the general population. Further aspects of their implementation (ie, facilitators, barriers, and unwanted effects) and mechanisms of change will be investigated. This study will allow the revision and fine-tuning of the developed intervention, study design, and planning procedures, as well as the initiation of a future randomized controlled trial
