[Influence of Psychological Factors on the Quality of Life of Patients with Non-surgical Gastric Cancer].

Objective To explore the impact of pressure and social support on the quality of life of non-surgical gastric cancer patients. Methods A total of 158 non-surgical patients diagnosed with gastric cancer by gastroscopy from June to August in 2021 were included in this study.The perceived stress scale,multidimensional scale of perceived social support,and the 36-item short form health survey questionnaire [including the physical composite score (PCS) and mental composite score (MCS)] were used for the evaluation of perceived stress,social support,and quality of life,respectively.Spearman correlation analysis was conducted.Mann-Whitney test,Kruskal-Wallis test or one-way analysis of variance was employed for the comparison between groups.Bivariate Logistic regression was employed for multiple comparisons. Results Gender (<0.001),marriage (=0.022),age (=0.022),and sickness symptoms (=0.009) affected the PCS of non-surgical gastric cancer patients.Gender (=0.016),income (=0.012),and sickness symptoms (=0.038) influenced the MCS of non-surgical gastric cancer patients.Perceived pressure was negatively correlated with PCS and MCS (all <0.001).The three factors of social support were positively correlated with PCS and MCS (all <0.001).The PCS was associated with gender (=0.219,95%=0.091-0.525,=0.001),age (=0.969,95%=0.942-0.998,=0.035),sickness symptoms (=1.142,95%=1.013-1.287,=0.030),perceived stress (=0.921,95%=0.860-0.987,=0.019),and family support (=1.195,95%=1.064-1.343,=0.003).The MCS was associated with gender (=0.169,95%=0.062-0.459,<0.001),perceived pressure (=0.910,95%=0.844-0.981,=0.013),and other support (=1.136,95%=1.002-1.288,=0.046). Conclusions The quality of life of the patients with non-surgical gastric cancer was related to perceived pressure and social support.Female and elderly patients have lower quality of life,which requires more attention in clinical work.
