Breast cancer treatment can negatively affect psychosocial outcomes for breast cancer survivors (BCS), but these outcomes present differently for younger and older survivors.
The objective of this study was to compare psychosocial outcomes between younger and older BCS and identify predictors of loneliness in younger BCS.
This cross-sectional descriptive study of 90 BCS evaluated data on sociodemographic and clinical characteristics and self-reported measures of psychosocial outcomes (fatigue, depressive symptoms, anxiety, loneliness, daytime sleepiness, and stress). Participants were dichotomized into two groups by age (aged less than 50 years and aged 50 years or older). Descriptive statistics, bivariate correlations, and multiple regression were also examined.
Younger BCS reported greater fatigue, loneliness, daytime sleepiness, and stress than older BCS. No between-group differences were found in depressive symptoms or anxiety. Having children and less time since chemotherapy completion were significant predictors of less loneliness in younger BCS.
乳腺癌的治疗可能会对乳腺癌幸存者(BCS)的社会心理结果产生负面影响,但年轻和年老的幸存者的结果表现不同。
本研究的目的是比较年轻和年老的 BCS 之间的社会心理结果,并确定年轻 BCS 孤独感的预测因素。
这项针对 90 名 BCS 的横断面描述性研究评估了社会人口统计学和临床特征以及自我报告的社会心理结果(疲劳、抑郁症状、焦虑、孤独感、白天嗜睡和压力)的数据。参与者按年龄(<50 岁和≥50 岁)分为两组。还检查了描述性统计、双变量相关性和多元回归。
年轻的 BCS 报告的疲劳、孤独感、白天嗜睡和压力比年老的 BCS 更大。在抑郁症状或焦虑方面,两组之间没有差异。有孩子和化疗完成后时间较短是年轻 BCS 孤独感减轻的显著预测因素。
