在132名成年癌症患者中评估了问题解决疗法（PST）减少心理困扰的疗效。第二个条件为患者和另一个重要的人提供了PST。在治疗后，所有接受PST的参与者的表现明显优于等待名单控制患者。此外，发现解决问题的能力的提高与心理困扰和整体生活质量的改善显著相关。两种治疗方案之间在症状减轻方面无差异。然而，在6个月的随访中，与单独接受PST的患者相比，接受PST沿着治疗的患者在大约一半的结局指标上的心理困扰水平较低。这些影响在治疗后1年进一步维持。
The efficacy of problem-solving therapy (PST) to reduce psychological distress was assessed among a sample of 132 adult cancer patients. A second condition provided PST for both the patient and a significant other. At posttreatment, all participants receiving PST fared significantly better than waiting list control patients. Further, improvements in problem solving were found to correlate significantly with improvements in psychological distress and overall quality of life. No differences in symptom reduction were identified between the 2 treatment protocols. At a 6-month follow-up, however, patients who received PST along with their significant other reported lower levels of psychological distress as compared with members of the PST-alone condition on approximately half of the outcome measures. These effects were further maintained 1-year posttreatment.
