Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
It has been demonstrated that one of the components of mindfulness
meditation, called self-kindness, plays a prominent role in alleviating distress
perception, and reducing depressive symptoms, especially among younger women
with breast cancer (BC), who represent a particularly vulnerable patient population,
often struggling not only with a serious illness but also with numerous family and
work-related obligations.
This chapter will describe in detail self-kindness as a technique to help ease distress,
anxiety, and depressive feelings, as well as enhance resilience and establish objective
health-related expectations or goals for patients with cancer, including women with
an aggressive subtype of BC, such as triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).
