BACKGROUND
This study aimed to evaluate the psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cancer patients.
METHODS
Ninety cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy with antiblastics were recruited from a tertiary medical center and completed a battery of standardized questionnaires to assess anxiety, depression, peritraumatic stress, and quality of life before and during the pandemic.
RESULTS
Quality of life worsened significantly during the pandemic compared with the pre-pandemic period. Anxiety and depression levels also increased significantly during the pandemic. COVID-19 peritraumatic distress significantly predicted lower quality-of-life scores during the pandemic.
CONCLUSIONS
COVID-19 distress affected the overall quality of life of patients who already had lower levels of quality of life before the pandemic and who had advanced cancers. Cancer patients must receive adequate support from psychiatrists and psychologists to mitigate the psychological distress related to the pandemic.
背景
本研究旨在评估 COVID-19 大流行对癌症患者的心理影响。
方法
从一家三级医疗中心招募了 90 名正在接受抗肿瘤化疗的癌症患者，并完成了一系列标准化问卷，以评估他们在大流行前后的焦虑、抑郁、创伤前压力和生活质量。
结果
与大流行前相比，大流行期间的生活质量显著恶化。焦虑和抑郁水平也在大流行期间显著增加。COVID-19 创伤前困扰在大流行期间显著预测生活质量评分较低。
结论
COVID-19 困扰影响了已经在大流行前生活质量较低且患有晚期癌症的患者的整体生活质量。癌症患者必须得到精神病学家和心理学家的充分支持，以减轻与大流行相关的心理困扰。
