“…Em relação às variáveis clínicas, somente o tratamento quimioterápico foi significativamente associado com sintomas depressivos. Resultados também foram encontrados em outro estudo, no qual foram observados mais sintomas depressivos no grupo de quimioterapia (p = 0,007) 24 . Já no estudo de Silva et al 25 , não houve associação do tratamento quimioterápico com sintomas depressivos.…”

reSumo objetivos: Verificar a prevalência de sintomas depressivos em mulheres com câncer de mama e identificar os fatores de risco associados à sua ocorrência. métodos: Foi realizado um estudo transversal, em que foram entrevistadas 71 mulheres com câncer de mama. Foram empregados dois instrumentos: um questionário para verificar os dados sociodemográficos e clínicos e o Inventário de Depressão de Beck -Short Form (BDI-SF), para avaliação dos sintomas depressivos. Para análise dos dados, utilizaram-se medidas descritivas e o teste de quiquadrado, que avaliou a associação entre variáveis sociodemográficas e clínicas e os sintomas depressivos. O nível de significância considerado foi de 5%. resultados: A prevalência de sintomas depressivos foi de 29,6%. Os fatores associados à presença desses sintomas foram o tratamento quimioterápico (p = 0,021), presença de dor (p = 0,018) e limitação do movimento do membro superior (p = 0,010) e pior percepção da saúde (p = 0,018). conclusão: Sintomas depressivos são frequentes no câncer de mama, assim a saúde mental das mulheres com esse tipo de câncer deve ser investigada e tratada quando necessário, reduzindo o impacto desses sintomas na vida da mulher.

“…In fact, several studies have shown that the patients who receive chemotherapy usually present more adjustment difficulties than those who receive radiotherapy (So et al, 2010), due to the painful symptoms (e.g. nausea, fatigue) and body image changes (e.g., alopecia, weight changes) that often accompany this treatment.…”

This cross-sectional study investigated the psychosocial adjustment of 70 partners of breast cancer patients by comparing their emotional adjustment and quality of life (QoL) with 70 partners of women without cancer. The role of marital intimacy in their adjustment and the moderating effect of group type were analyzed. The partners of breast cancer patients presented higher levels of anxious and depressive symptomatology; poor social, psychological, general and physical QoL; and higher levels of intimacy. The moderation analysis showed that higher levels of intimacy predicted lower levels of depression and anxiety and greater QoL only among the partners of cancer patients.

“…A previous comparative study found that women with breast cancer experienced more psychological problems than healthy women (Pan et al, 2013). The most prevalent psychological problems among women with breast cancer are anxiety and depression, with reported prevalences of 21.1% to 53% (Montazeri et al, 2001;Zabora et al, 2001;Osborne et al, 2003;So et al, 2010 …”

Asian Pac J Cancer Prev, 15 (21), 9191-9197 IntroductionBreast cancer is a serious health condition among women worldwide. In 2008, approximately 1.38 million new cases were diagnosed and approximately 458,000 deaths were recorded both in developed and developing countries (Ferlay et al., 2010). Receiving a breast cancer diagnosis is a life threatening negative event and potentially causes considerable psychological problems. Affected women are faced with multiple stressors throughout their illness trajectory, such as having a biopsy, awaiting diagnosis, having surgery, experiencing treatment side effects, anticipating the possibility of cancer metastasizing, coping with financial, family and social problems and facing the risk of recurrence and/or death. A previous comparative study found that women with breast cancer experienced more psychological problems than healthy women (Pan et al., 2013). The most prevalent psychological problems among women with breast cancer are anxiety and depression, with reported prevalences of 21.1% to 53% (Montazeri et al., 2001;Zabora et al., 2001;Osborne et al., 2003;So et al., 2010 AbstractThe aims of this study were to assess whether Indonesian women with breast cancer havea higher external health locus of control (HLC) than healthy women, and to explore the association between HLC and symptoms of anxiety and depression. In this study, 120 consecutive women with breast cancer were recruited at the outpatient surgical oncology clinic at the Hasan Sadikin Hospital in Bandung. One hundred and twenty two healthy women were recruited from the Bandung area as controls. A standard demographic form, Form C of the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control, as well as the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and patients' medical records were used. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, Pearson's correlation, MANOVA and multiple linear regressions. Women with breast cancer had higher scores on all external HLC subscales, i.e. chance, doctor, powerful others and God, and lower internal HLC compared to healthy women. High God LHC scores were associated with a high level of anxiety (β=0.21, p<0.05), whereas none of the HLC subscales were associated with depression. Our results suggest that women with breast cancer tend to have high external HLC, while healthy women tend to have high internal HLC. A strong belief in an external source of control, i.e. God, might be negatively associated with patient emotional adjustment. Further research is needed to give an insight into the direction of this association.
