OBJECTIVES Studies of depression in older Muslim Palestinians diagnosed with cancer are scarce. To gain insight into the psychological response and coping ability of this very large, globally distributed population, we collected data from older Muslim Palestinian people diagnosed with cancer concerning depression hope and perceived social support. Both hope and social support were selected because they can be manipulated through intervention and education, as shown in the geriatric literature. Data were compared to data collected from older Jewish Israeli people diagnosed with cancer. DESIGN The study sample comprised 143 Muslim Palestinian and 110 Jewish Israeli people diagnosed with cancer, aged ≥ 65. All participants were either in treatment for active disease or within 6 months of such treatment. Self-administered measures included depression (the Five-Item Geriatric Depression Scale), perceived social support (Cancer Perceived Agents of Social Support Questionnaire) and hope (Snyder's Adult Hope Scale). RESULTS Hope and depression were both found to be significantly higher among the Muslim Palestinian patients than in the Jewish Israeli participants. In both samples, higher levels of hope were associated with lower levels of depression, with this correlation stronger in the Jewish Israeli group. CONCLUSION To improve the psychological wellbeing of patients, healthcare providers must exercise cultural sensitivity in their interactions, respecting the perspectives of both the patients and their families. Incorporating the concept of hope into the therapeutic dialogue and language may improve psychological wellbeing and synchronize the needs and expectations of patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals, resulting in more equitable, effective and value-oriented care.

老年癌症患者的抑郁、希望和社会支持:穆斯林巴勒斯坦人和以色列犹太人癌症患者的比较。

目标 对被诊断患有癌症的老年穆斯林巴勒斯坦人进行抑郁症的研究很少。为了深入了解这个分布在全球的庞大人口的心理反应和应对能力,我们从被诊断患有癌症的老年穆斯林巴勒斯坦人那里收集了有关抑郁希望和感知社会支持的数据。选择希望和社会支持是因为它们可以通过干预和教育来操纵,如老年医学文献所示。将数据与从被诊断患有癌症的老年以色列犹太人收集的数据进行了比较。设计 研究样本包括 143 名巴勒斯坦穆斯林和 110 名以色列犹太人,他们被诊断患有癌症,年龄 ≥ 65 岁。所有参与者要么正在接受活动性疾病治疗,要么在接受此类治疗的 6 个月内。自我管理的措施包括抑郁症(老年抑郁症五项量表)、感知社会支持(癌症感知社会支持代理问卷)和希望(斯奈德成人希望量表)。结果发现,穆斯林巴勒斯坦患者的希望和抑郁均显着高于以色列犹太参与者。在这两个样本中,较高的希望水平与较低的抑郁水平相关,这种相关性在以色列犹太人组中更强。结论 为了改善患者的心理健康,医疗保健提供者必须在互动中发挥文化敏感性,尊重患者及其家人的观点。
