This study explores the impact of emotional health on cancer patients, acknowledging the controversies and lack of high-quality data in the field, particularly for rare cancers and younger patients. It highlights the significant prevalence of depression and anxiety among cancer patients, the inadequacies in addressing mental health during and after treatment, and the inconsistencies in prevalence rates due to varying study methodologies. This study unravels the importance of data regarding mental health status in a clinical dataset to accompany the biological sample to be included in a biobank.
The study utilized a questionnaire to evaluate the opinions of cancer patients, clinicians, and researchers regarding the inclusion of mental health data in clinical datasets accompanying biological samples in biobanks. The study involved 120 participants (40 from each group), and the data were analyzed using statistical methods.
The study found significant differences in the perceived importance of including mental health information among the three groups. Patients showed a higher tendency (87.9%) to consider mental health questions relevant compared to researchers (72.08%) and clinicians (62.08%). The first four questions regarding emotional well-being received the highest positive responses, particularly from patients (94.3%). The findings underline the importance of addressing the mental health of cancer patients, which is often overlooked. The study emphasizes the necessity for integrating mental health data in biobanks and increasing psychological support for cancer patients.
There are clear differences in how patients, researchers, and clinicians value emotional and psychological aspects. The study underscores the need for better education on modern medical practices and the benefits of comprehensive patient care, including mental health considerations.
本研究探讨了情绪健康对癌症患者的影响，同时认识到该领域存在争议且缺乏高质量数据，尤其是对于罕见癌症和年轻患者。研究强调了癌症患者中抑郁症和焦虑症的高发病率、治疗期间及治疗后心理健康问题处理的不足，以及因研究方法不同导致的患病率不一致。本研究揭示了临床数据集中心理健康状况数据对于伴随生物样本纳入生物样本库的重要性。
该研究采用问卷调查的方式，评估癌症患者、临床医生和研究人员对于将心理健康数据纳入生物样本库中生物样本所伴随的临床数据集的看法。该研究涉及120名参与者（每组40名），并使用统计方法对数据进行分析。
该研究发现，三组人群在对纳入心理健康信息的重要性认知上存在显著差异。与研究人员（72.08%）和临床医生（62.08%）相比，患者认为心理健康问题相关的倾向更高（87.9%）。关于情绪健康的前四个问题获得了最高的肯定答复，尤其是患者（94.3%）。研究结果强调了关注癌症患者心理健康的重要性，而这一点常常被忽视。该研究强调了在生物样本库中整合心理健康数据以及增加对癌症患者心理支持的必要性。
患者、研究人员和临床医生在如何看待情绪和心理方面存在明显差异。该研究强调了在现代医疗实践方面进行更好教育的必要性，以及包括心理健康考量在内的全面患者护理的益处。
