Objectives: Depression and anxiety persist in cancer patients, creating an additional burden during treatment and making it more challenging in terms of management and control. Studies on the prevalence of depression and anxiety among cancer patients in the Middle East are limited and include many limitations such as small sample size and being restricted to a specific type of cancer in specific clinical settings. This study aimed to describe the prevalence and risk factors of depression and anxiety among cancer patients. Material and Methods: A total of 1,011 patients formed the study sample. Patients’ psychological status was assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), and the Generalised Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7) scale. The prevalence rate of depressive and anxious symptomatology was estimated by dividing the number of patients who exceeded the borderline score: ten or more for each subscale of the HADS scale, 15 or more for the GAD-7 scale, and 15 or more in the PHQ-9 by the total number of the patients. Results: The prevalence of depressive and anxious symptomatology was 23.4% and 19.1–19.9%, respectively. Depressive symptomatology was more prevalent across patients who were hospitalised (37.1%) compared to patients in the outpatient setting (14.5%) (p<0.001). Similarly, anxious symptomatology was more prevalent across the inpatient setting (p<0.001). In the inpatient setting, depressive symptomatology was more prevalent among patients with bladder cancer, while severe anxious symptomatology was more prevalent across patients with lung cancer. In the outpatient setting, depressive and anxious symptomatology were more prevalent among breast and prostate cancer patients, respectively. Despite that, around 42.7% and 24.8% of the patients, respectively, self-reported that they feel anxious and depressed, and only 15.5% of them were using medications to manage their conditions. Conclusion: Our study findings demonstrated a higher prevalence of depressive and anxious symptomatology in the inpatient setting and advanced disease stages. In addition, the underutilisation of antidepressant therapy was observed. There is a need to consider mental disorders as part of the treatment protocol for cancer patients. Enhanced clinical monitoring and treatment of depression and anxiety among cancer patients are required.

癌症患者的抑郁和焦虑:一项横断面研究

目标:癌症患者持续存在抑郁和焦虑,在治疗期间造成额外负担,使其在管理和控制方面更具挑战性。关于中东癌症患者抑郁和焦虑患病率的研究是有限的,包括许多限制,例如样本量小和在特定临床环境中仅限于特定类型的癌症。本研究旨在描述癌症患者中抑郁和焦虑的患病率和危险因素。材料和方法:共有 1,011 名患者构成了研究样本。使用医院焦虑和抑郁量表 (HADS)、患者健康问卷 (PHQ-9) 和广泛性焦虑症 7 项 (GAD-7) 量表评估患者的心理状态。抑郁和焦虑症状的患病率是通过将超过临界分数的患者人数除以来估计的:HADS 量表的每个分量表为 10 或更多,GAD-7 量表为 15 或更多,PHQ 为 15 或更多-9 患者总数。结果:抑郁和焦虑症状的患病率分别为 23.4% 和 19.1-19.9%。与门诊患者(14.5%)相比,住院患者(37.1%)的抑郁症状更为普遍(p<0.001)。同样,焦虑症状在住院患者中更为普遍(p<0.001)。在住院环境中,抑郁症状在膀胱癌患者中更为普遍,而严重焦虑症状在肺癌患者中更为普遍。在门诊环境中,抑郁和焦虑症状分别在乳腺癌和前列腺癌患者中更为普遍。尽管如此,分别有约 42.7% 和 24.8% 的患者自我报告感到焦虑和抑郁,其中只有 15.5% 的患者使用药物来控制病情。结论:我们的研究结果表明,在住院和疾病晚期阶段,抑郁和焦虑症状的患病率更高。此外,观察到抗抑郁治疗的利用不足。有必要将精神障碍作为癌症患者治疗方案的一部分。需要加强对癌症患者抑郁和焦虑的临床监测和治疗。抑郁和焦虑症状分别在乳腺癌和前列腺癌患者中更为普遍。尽管如此,分别有约 42.7% 和 24.8% 的患者自我报告感到焦虑和抑郁,其中只有 15.5% 的患者使用药物来控制病情。结论:我们的研究结果表明,在住院和疾病晚期阶段,抑郁和焦虑症状的患病率更高。此外,观察到抗抑郁治疗的利用不足。有必要将精神障碍作为癌症患者治疗方案的一部分。需要加强对癌症患者抑郁和焦虑的临床监测和治疗。抑郁和焦虑症状分别在乳腺癌和前列腺癌患者中更为普遍。尽管如此,分别有约 42.7% 和 24.8% 的患者自我报告感到焦虑和抑郁,其中只有 15.5% 的患者使用药物来控制病情。结论:我们的研究结果表明,在住院和疾病晚期阶段,抑郁和焦虑症状的患病率更高。此外,观察到抗抑郁治疗的利用不足。有必要将精神障碍作为癌症患者治疗方案的一部分。需要加强对癌症患者抑郁和焦虑的临床监测和治疗。自我报告他们感到焦虑和沮丧,其中只有 15.5% 的人使用药物来控制自己的病情。结论:我们的研究结果表明,在住院和疾病晚期阶段,抑郁和焦虑症状的患病率更高。此外,观察到抗抑郁治疗的利用不足。有必要将精神障碍作为癌症患者治疗方案的一部分。需要加强对癌症患者抑郁和焦虑的临床监测和治疗。自我报告他们感到焦虑和沮丧,其中只有 15.5% 的人使用药物来控制自己的病情。结论:我们的研究结果表明,在住院和疾病晚期阶段,抑郁和焦虑症状的患病率更高。此外,观察到抗抑郁治疗的利用不足。有必要将精神障碍作为癌症患者治疗方案的一部分。需要加强对癌症患者抑郁和焦虑的临床监测和治疗。此外,观察到抗抑郁治疗的利用不足。有必要将精神障碍作为癌症患者治疗方案的一部分。需要加强对癌症患者抑郁和焦虑的临床监测和治疗。此外,观察到抗抑郁治疗的利用不足。有必要将精神障碍作为癌症患者治疗方案的一部分。需要加强对癌症患者抑郁和焦虑的临床监测和治疗。
