Purpose
This study examines the prevalence and degree of emotional distress, anxiety and depression, and social difficulties and their effect on cancer patients quality of life (QoL). It describes the characteristics of patients who are at high risk of emotional distress. Methods A descriptive cross-sectional design was used. A total of 226 patients with cancer completed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale (HAD), social difficulties inventory, comfort scale and EORTC-QoL-C30. Anxiety and depression were identified using the internationally recognized cut-off points of HAD-A ≥ 8 and HAD-D≥ 8. Adjusted odd ratio was calculated using socio-demographic and clinical factors. Results Both anxiety and depression were common among Jordanian cancer patients, although depression was the main emotional problem with a higher prevalence than anxiety (67.6% vs. 43%). Patients with anxiety or depression were more likely to have lower QoL scores and higher scores for complaints about symptoms. They were more likely to have social difficulties in everyday life. The results of logistic regression indicated that a high depression score was predicted by older age, a poor QOL total score, and a high social difficulty score. A high anxiety score was predicted by advanced cancer stage, in female patients, hospital readmission and a poor QOL total score. Conclusion The significant level of emotional distress among cancer patients highlighted the importance of early assessment and identification of patients at greater risk of emotional distress, those with an advanced stage of cancer, having a poor quality of life and serious social difficulties. |
