dc.description.abstractThe purpose was to study the effect of hope and self-esteem strengthening program on the cancer patients with depression. Twenty-two cancer patients who received radiation therapy at the Ubon Ratchathani Cancer center between May 2007 to June 2007 were enrolled in this study. Thirteen patients were assigned to be the experimental group and the other nine were the control group, all of whom, received conventional nursing care. A hope and self-esteem strengthening program was used in this study. The hope, self-esteem inventory and depression scale were employed to evaluate, and the reliability was performed by using Cronbach’s coefficient, at 0.89, 0.91 and 0.86 respectively.The findings revealed that, after joining the program, there was a significant increase in hope and self-esteem (P \< 0.01) and a significant decrease in depression among the experimental group whereas no significant difference was found in the control group. Moreover, self-esteem in the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P \< 0.05), but no significance of the hope and depression was observed among the study group.en_US
