“…Using the cutoff 8+, the percentages of elevated anxiety and depression in the total sample are 21 and 23%, respectively [ 36 ]. In the case of Polish oncological patients, it was documented that in population with gynaecological and breast cancers, the average anxiety was ranging from 7.0 to 8.2, and average depression from 6.1 to 8.4 depending on disease stage and therapeutic method [ 37 , 38 ]. In Polish patients with gastrointestinal tract cancers, it was found that the average severity of anxiety was 6.7 and average severity of depression was 4.8 [ 39 ].…”

PurposeBladder cancer (BC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide. BC diagnosis and surveillance is based on cystoscopy (CS). CS impact on patient’s depression, anxiety, and sexual satisfaction (SS) is not sufficiently studied. There are no data on patient’s comfort with flexible or rigid CS.MethodsWe prospectively evaluated pain perception (PP), depression, anxiety, and SS of 100 male patients who previously underwent at least one rigid CS in our department as surveillance after TURB procedure due to non-muscle-invasive BC and were scheduled for the next CS examination. The patients were randomized for flexible or rigid CS. Before CS, patients described their recalled rigid CS-related pain by NRS and fulfilled HADS and SS questionnaires. After CS, PP was re-evaluated immediately and HADS and SS within 7–10 days following the CS.ResultsThe baseline scores include 5.2 ± 2.6 points for rigid CS recalled pain, 7.2 ± 3.0 points for HADS anxiety, 5.8 ± 3.5 for depression, and 27.8 ± 5.1 for SS. The flexible CS-related pain was approximately three times lower than the recalled pain level and also than the current rigid CS related (p < 0.001). Mean SS score was two points lowered after rigid CS (p < 0.001). One point decrease in anxiety level was observed after flexible CS (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis supported the hypothesis of patients benefiting from flexible CS in terms of pain perception, anxiety symptoms, and SS.ConclusionsOur study demonstrates the superiority of flexible CS in terms of pain alleviation, and shifts in SS and anxiety levels.

“…Acceptance consists of accepting that the event has occurred as well as emotional acceptance, which is a willingness to feel one’s positive and negative emotions without trying to control, change, or reject these feelings. Acceptance of the event - in this case, the cancer diagnosis - has been consistently associated with less distress among cancer patients [11, 27, 28], including among women diagnosed with gynecological cancer [29]. Although less studied, emotional acceptance has been associated with less distress among cancer patients [27, 30].…”

Acceptance, social support, benefit-finding, and depression in women with gynecological cancer

et al. 2018

Helping women diagnosed with gynecological cancers identify benefits from their cancer experience may reduce depression by paving the way for them to accept their emotional reactions, accept life changes associated with cancer, and facilitate supportive reactions from family and friends. Future longitudinal research is needed to confirm whether gynecological cancer patients who perceive more benefits will feel less depressed later.

“…For example, although helplessness coping and anxious preoccupation predict decreased health-related quality of life, religious coping, optimistic coping, and problem focused coping positively predict increased health-related quality of life among women living with breast cancer. [22][23][24] Similarly, having a fighting spirit which involves individual's determination to significantly deal with their illness has been found to be positively associated with health-related quality of life among the patients, while fatalism predicts decreased health-related quality of life among the patients. 25 These findings point to the fact that maladaptive coping is detrimental to the health and wellbeing of cancer patients.…”

Objective This study examined whether cancer-specific coping strategies have any significant influence on the quality of life of 205 women living with breast cancer in Ghana. Methods Using a cross-sectional survey design, participants were administered questionnaires which measured their cancer-specific coping strategies and health-related quality of life. Results Correlation analysis showed that helplessness-hopelessness negatively correlated with physical wellbeing, emotional wellbeing, functional wellbeing, and breast cancer additional concerns. Anxious preoccupation negatively correlated with all the domains of quality of life, whereas fighting spirit was positively correlated with emotional and functional wellbeing. Cognitive avoidance was positively correlated with functional wellbeing, while fatalism was positively related with all the domains of quality of life. Regression analysis revealed that anxious preoccupation predicted significant decreases in all the domains of quality of life, while helplessness-hopelessness predicted significant decreases in emotional and functional wellbeing domains. However, cognitive avoidance predicted significant increase in the functional domain of quality of life. Conclusion These findings underscore the need for psychosocial support for breast cancer patients to adopt effective coping strategies to deal with their challenges in managing their illness.
