The Effectiveness of Group Logotherapy Training on Life Expectancy in Colon Cancer Patients

The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of group logotherapy training on life expectancy in colon cancer patients. 

This research followed a semi-experimental design, employing a pre-test-post-test and follow-up approach with both control and experimental groups. The statistical population comprised all cancer patients who sought diagnosis and treatment in cancer centers in Tehran in 2022. The study sample consisted of 30 patients with colon cancer, randomly assigned to experimental and control groups of 15 individuals each through available random sampling. Both groups completed Schneider et al.'s (1991) life expectancy questionnaire before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance in SPSS22 software. 

Covariance analysis revealed a significant effect of group logotherapy on life expectancy in colon cancer patients in Tehran (p < 0.05). 

The findings suggest that group logotherapy increases life expectancy in colon cancer patients. Therefore, group logotherapy holds promise as an intervention for enhancing the well-being of cancer patients, warranting further research in this area.
