The aim of this study was to explore the protective role of social support and spirituality in the prevention of depression, anxiety and fatigue severity.
In a cross-sectional study, 305 women of breast cancer survivors were recruited in the study.
The participants answered a self-reported the hospital anxiety and depression scale, fatigue severity scale (FSS), social support and spiritual health questionnaires. The data were analysed using a multiple linear regression model to estimate the adjusted regression coefficients.
A greater proportion of patients had moderate depression (62.9%) and moderate anxiety (67.3%). The higher level of social support was significantly associated with a lesser degree of depression (β=-0.05, p = .001) and anxiety (β=-0.04, p = .001), but there had been no association with the severity of fatigue score, while the association of spiritual health with depression and anxiety was not independently significant. This study highlights the importance of perceived social support in the prevention of depression and anxiety.
本研究旨在探讨社会支持和精神信仰在预防抑郁、焦虑和疲劳严重程度方面的保护作用。
在一项横断面研究中，招募了 305 名乳腺癌幸存者女性患者参与本研究。
参与者回答了医院焦虑和抑郁量表、疲劳严重程度量表（FSS）、社会支持和精神健康问卷。使用多元线性回归模型分析数据，以估计调整后的回归系数。
更多的患者存在中度抑郁（62.9%）和中度焦虑（67.3%）。较高的社会支持水平与抑郁（β=-0.05，p=.001）和焦虑（β=-0.04，p=.001）程度较轻显著相关，但与疲劳严重程度评分无关联，而精神健康与抑郁和焦虑的关联并不独立显著。本研究强调了感知社会支持在预防抑郁和焦虑方面的重要性。
