“…We used the adapted conceptual framework to guide modeling and included religiosity, spirituality, social support, and the covariate stigma into multiple linear regression. Previous research and Al-Garni's framework have suggested that the predictor variables described previously are important predictors of depressive symptoms 5,10,13 …”

“…To date, this fledgling body of research has not examined the impact of both religiosity and spirituality on depressive symptoms in breast cancer patients in Saudi Arabia. Research conducted in the Middle East has found that religious factors and social support are associated with improved depressive symptoms in cancer patients 13,14 . In contrast to the protective effects of religious factors and social support, research has identified cancer-related stigma as detrimental to the mental health of Middle Eastern breast cancer patients in the Middle East, 12,15 resulting in increased depressive symptoms 3,16 .…”

BackgroundDepressive symptoms in Arab women with breast cancer (AWBC) in Saudi Arabia can be influenced by spirituality, religiosity, social support, and breast cancer's stigma. Understanding the role of these factors can raise awareness and help create policies to improve care for breast cancer patients. Yet, there is limited research addressing the impact of these factors on depressive symptoms in AWBC.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate factors influencing depressive symptoms in AWBC in Saudi Arabia.MethodsA cross-sectional design and convenience sampling were used to recruit 59 AWBC from oncology departments in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, who were receiving active treatment to participate in this study. Participants completed an online survey or paper-based survey including questions on sociodemographics, social support, spirituality, religiosity, depressive symptoms, and breast cancer's stigma. Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis were used to examine the influence of numerous factors on depressive symptoms in AWBC; Student t test statistic was used to distinguish the depressive symptom scores between online and paper-based survey.ResultsThe average age of participants was 49 years (SD = 8.31). The mean (SD) of depressive symptoms was 20.52 (12.36). Pearson correlation analyses indicated that cancer patients with high levels of depressive symptoms were associated with low levels of spiritualty and religiosity, and high levels of breast cancer stigma.ConclusionsReligiosity and spirituality work as protective factors against depressive symptoms in AWBC.Implications for PracticeIncluding religiosity and spirituality in the intervention plan should be considered when caring for AWBC.

“…Married patients had higher means in all domains of care compared with single, divorced, and widowed patients; the role of family support has been studied previously, especially among patients with cancer. These previous studies indicated that married patients were happier, had more hope, and had less negative psychological reactions such as hopelessness and depression 50–52 . During the treatment period, family caregivers have pivotal roles as they provide patients with uncompensated care and continued support and assist patients with essential physical and emotional needs 53 …”

BackgroundPatient satisfaction was defined as expectation and perception of the patients about real nursing care they receive.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of oncology nursing care as perceived by patients with cancer in 3 Arabic countries (Jordan, Oman, and Egypt).MethodsA cross-sectional design with convenience sampling approach was used. A total of 517 patients with cancer (Jordan, 200, 38.7%; Sultanate of Oman, 137, 26.5%; and Egypt, 180, 34.8%) participated and completed the study’s questionnaires including sociodemographic data and the Quality of Oncology Nursing Care Scale (QONCS).ResultsModerate quality of oncology nursing care was reported by the participants. The overall mean for the quality of oncology care as measured by the QONCS-Ar (QONCS Arabic version) was highest in Oman (153.40; SD, 4.10), followed by Jordan (150.93; SD, 2.10) and then Egypt (148.0; SD, 3.80). The results were significantly different in the total score of the QONCS-Ar (F = 45.20, P < .001) among the 3 countries. The results also differed in all domains of oncology nursing care according to days of treatment and marital status.ConclusionFindings are considered a baseline for future research and highlight the importance of evaluating quality of oncology nursing care as perceived by the patients with cancer.Implications for PracticeThe results from the current study can be used to develop an interventional program focusing on the needs of patients and their perceptions of care.

“…It is now widely accepted that genetic and epigenetic changes that result in abnormal growth regulation and disruption of intracellular signaling frequently cause breast cancer to begin in the epithelium that lines the terminal ductless within the lobule. As a result, breast cancer is regarded as a heterogeneous disease with numerous subtypes and cells with unique cellular origins and functions [ 5 ]. The most prevalent type of breast cancer is invasive or infiltrating duct carcinoma (IDC), while the most prevalent histological form of the non-invasive (in situ cancer) stage of breast cancer is ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS).…”

Breast cancer is the primary type of cancer affecting women. Patients with hormone receptor-positive cells have lower mortality rates. Both chemotherapy and hormone therapy can improve the survival rate. This study aimed to evaluate the hormonal receptor status in female breast cancer and assess the relationship with the patient's age and family history in Najaf, Iraq. A prospective study of two-hundred and fifty-one women with mastectomies (for cancers) was performed at AL Sader Medical City from January 2019 to January 2021. We collected and analyzed data regarding the age of patients, site and size of the tumor, number of pregnancies, family history, weight, smoking, and hormone receptor status. The average age of patients was 48 years, and the peak incidence was in the 40–49 age group (30.27% of patients). Of all age groups, 48.6% (122 patients) were negative for all hormone receptors (triple negative), and only 22.70% had a positive family history. The peak incidence of cancer in our study was in the 40–49 years group. A high proportion of the hormone receptors for patients were negative (triple-negative), and most patients had a negative family history.
