Abstract

Background

This study analyses the levels of distress and related psychosocial factors among cancer patients during the Spanish lockdown due to COVID-19.

Methods

A total of 2,779 cancer patients took part in an observational and lateral study carried out between April 16, 2020 and April 25, 2020. An online questionnaire was distributed including distress-related variables, demographic variables, clinical variables about their oncological condition, socioeconomic variables and variables related to information management and social communication. Distress was measured according to the Kessler (K-6) scale, and its relationship with the remaining variables was analyzed by logistic regression.

Results

33.5% of the patients yielded levels of clinical distress during lockdown. Younger patients and women yielded significantly higher levels of distress. High distress levels were generally associated with the following factors: trust in medical institutions; deterioration of the household’s financial conditions; and media management of the information about the pandemic.

Conclusions

The lockdown triggered by COVID-19 increased distress among cancer patients, and this can be significantly related to a number of variables. Identifying distress, and said factors, at an early stage can help to develop mitigation strategies. Similarly, early detection can help to improve the way information is shared with patients, offer them support and resources and direct them to psychosocial services, increasing the patient’s ability to return to normal after COVID-19.

COVID-19 爆发和封锁对西班牙肿瘤患者的社会心理影响:定量方法

摘要

背景

这项研究分析了西班牙因 COVID-19 而被封锁期间癌症患者的痛苦程度和相关的心理社会因素。

方法

共有 2,779 名癌症患者参加了在 2020 年 4 月 16 日至 2020 年 4 月 25 日期间进行的观察性和横向研究。 分发了一份在线问卷,其中包括与痛苦相关的变量、人口统计学变量、关于其肿瘤状况的临床变量、社会经济变量以及与信息管理和社会交流相关的变量。根据Kessler(K-6)量表测量苦恼,并通过逻辑回归分析其与其余变量的关系。

结果

33.5% 的患者在封锁期间出现了临床痛苦。年轻患者和女性的痛苦程度明显更高。高痛苦程度通常与以下因素有关:对医疗机构的信任;家庭财务状况恶化;以及有关大流行病信息的媒体管理。

结论

COVID-19 引发的封锁增加了癌症患者的痛苦,这可能与许多变量显着相关。在早期阶段识别困境和上述因素有助于制定缓解策略。同样,早期检测有助于改进与患者共享信息的方式,为他们提供支持和资源,并将他们引导至社会心理服务,从而提高患者在 COVID-19 后恢复正常的能力。
