A recent article reported that cancer patients with subthreshold depression are more likely to develop major depression within a year. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that regular exercise was a protective factor against cancer-related fatigue, whereas advanced age, radiotherapy, pain, and low hemoglobin were risk factors for cancer-related fatigue. A limitation of this study was the lack of methodological details about leukemia patients receiving depressive treatment at a specific hospital. Professional assessment, behavioral modification plans, communication, destressing techniques, and educational plans may help chemotherapy patients manage emotional issues and reduce anxiety. Furthermore, these strategies can inspire patients to create, facilitate their treatment, and help them to remain healthy.
最近的一篇文章报道，患有阈下抑郁症的癌症患者在一年内更有可能发展为重度抑郁症。多因素回归分析显示，经常锻炼是预防癌症相关疲劳的保护因素，而高龄、放疗、疼痛和低血红蛋白是癌症相关疲劳的危险因素。这项研究的一个局限性是缺乏关于某一特定医院接受抑郁治疗的白血病患者的方法学细节。专业评估、行为矫正计划、沟通、减压技巧和教育计划可能有助于化疗患者处理情绪问题并减轻焦虑。此外，这些策略可以激励患者，促进他们的治疗，并帮助他们保持健康。
