Abstract

The integration of behavioral psychology into palliative care offers a promising approach to managing stressrelated disorders among patients nearing the end of life. This article examines how techniques such as cognitivebehavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), and behavioral activation can alleviate psychological distress, enhance coping mechanisms, and improve overall well-being in this population. By addressing the interplay between stress, anxiety, and physical symptoms, behavioral psychology complements traditional palliative care, fostering resilience and emotional stability. The study reviews current applications, assesses their efficacy, and discusses their potential to transform care delivery for patients with stress-related disorders, highlighting both benefits and implementation challenges.
