Ovarian cancer is characterized by poor prognosis, high levels of distress, disturbed sleep, and compromised quality of life (QOL). Although life stressors have been shown to significantly impact physical and psychological health in cancer populations, no studies have used a high-resolution stress assessment to differentiate effects of acute versus chronic stressors among women with ovarian cancer. We addressed this issue in the present prospective longitudinal study by examining how acute and chronic stress exposure in the year pre-diagnosis relate to depressive symptoms, sleep quality, and QOL over the first year post-diagnosis in women with ovarian cancer.

慢性困难与上皮性卵巢癌患者诊断后第一年的心理社会功能较差有关

卵巢癌的特点是预后差、痛苦程度高、睡眠不安和生活质量 (QOL) 受损。尽管生活压力源已被证明会显着影响癌症人群的身心健康，但没有研究使用高分辨率压力评估来区分卵巢癌女性急性和慢性压力源的影响。我们在目前的前瞻性纵向研究中解决了这个问题，通过检查诊断前一年的急性和慢性压力暴露与卵巢癌女性诊断后第一年的抑郁症状、睡眠质量和生活质量之间的关系。
