“…Spirituality has been found to predict psychological distress in cancer patients during the Covid-19 pandemic, with higher spirituality associated with lower distress. Previous research has corroborated our findings that spiritual well-being is associated with mental well-being and less anxiety, depression, and somatization 45 , 46 . Similarly, it has been observed that addressing spirituality appropriately can significantly influence positive patient outcomes during the oncological process 47 .…”

In cancer patients, psychological distress, which encompasses anxiety, depression, and somatization, arises from the complex interplay of emotional and behavioral reactions to the diagnosis and treatment, significantly influencing their functionality and quality of life. The aim was to investigate factors associated with psychological distress in cancer patients. This prospective and multicenter study, conducted by the Spanish Society of Medical Oncology (SEOM), included two cohorts of patients with cancer (localized resected or advanced unresectable). They completed surveys assessing psychological distress (BSI-18) before and after cancer treatment and coping (MINI-MAC) and spirituality (FACIT-sp) prior to therapy. A multivariable logistic regression analysis and a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) were conducted. Between 2019 and 2022, 1807 patients were evaluated, mostly women (54%), average age 64 years. The most frequent cancers were colorectal (30%), breast (25%) and lung (18%). Men had lower levels of anxiety and depression (OR 0.66, 95% CI 0.52–0.84; OR 0.72, 95% CI 0.56–0.93). Colorectal cancer patients experienced less anxiety (OR 0.63, 95% CI 0.43–0.92), depression (OR 0.55, 95% CI 0.37–0.81), and somatization (OR 0.59, 95% CI 0.42–0.83). Patients with localized cancer and spiritual beliefs had reduced psychological distress, whereas those with anxious preoccupation had higher level. SEM revealed a relationship between psychological distress and coping strategies, emphasizing how baseline anxious preoccupation exacerbates post-treatment distress. This study suggests that age, sex, extension and location of cancer, coping and spirituality influence psychological distress in cancer patients.

Cancer causes distress, resulting in anxiety, depression or somatization. The aim was to investigate sociodemographic, clinical, and psychological factors associated with psychological distress in cancer patients. This prospective and multicenter study, conducted by the Spanish Society of Medical Oncology (SEOM), included two cohorts of patients with cancer (localized resected or advanced unresectable). They completed surveys to evaluate psychological distress (BSI-18), coping (MINI-MAC), and spirituality (FACIT-sp). A multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted. Between 2019-2022, 1807 patients were evaluated, mostly women (54%), average age 64 years. The most frequent primary cancers were colorectal (30%), breast (25%) and lung (18%). Older individuals (OR0.98, CI95% 0.97-0.99), and males (OR0.66, CI95% 0.51-0.84 and OR0.75, CI95% 0.58-0.97) had less anxiety and depression. Colorectal cancer patients had less depression (OR0.67, CI95% 0.47-0.95) and somatization (OR0.71, CI95% 0.52-0.97). Patients with localized cancer and with spiritual beliefs had lower levels of psychological distress, while those with anxious preoccupation had higher levels. After treatment, patients with pre-existing distress and anxious preoccupation experienced an increase in psychological distress while those with localized cancer showed reduced levels of anxiety and somatization. This study suggests that age, sex, extension and location of cancer, coping and spirituality influence psychological distress in cancer patients.
