“…Concerning depression, we found slightly heightened mean scores only for the women, while men showed an opposite trend, with lower depression levels among the patients. Relatively low depression scores in male patients with cancer, especially patients with urologic cancer, have also been found in other examinations (Hinz et al, 2016;Shin et al, 2019). When the results of this study are compared with the results of the previous study with cancer inpatients (Hinz et al, 2010), the burden in our present sample was lower.…”

Objective:The aim of this study was to compare the levels of anxiety and depression in cancer patients with those of the general population, to examine age and gender differences in anxiety and depression, to analyse the impact of several sociodemographic and clinical parameters on anxiety and depression, and to test the age and gender measurement invariance of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).Methods: A sample of 3,785 German patients with cancer and a sample of 2,747 people of the German general population were examined using the HADS. Results:Patients with cancer were more anxious but slightly less depressed than age-and gender-matched individuals of the general population. Young patients with cancer were particularly affected by anxiety. Measurement invariance across gender and age could be established. For all analysed clinical variables, including tumour site, tumour stage, metastases, setting and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status we found no significant interaction effects with gender that exceeded the 5% significance criterion. Conclusion:The HADS provides fair comparisons between age and gender groups.Gender differences in anxiety and depression can be generalised across the cancer sites and clinical subgroups. Young patients with cancer deserve special attention by the healthcare system.

“…Eventually, cancer survivors experience restrictions in their activities and discomfort to daily life simultaneously [ 36 ]. Renal cancer survivors exhibited a much lower physical function than the general population [ 37 ]. As the physical function of cancer survivors has an influence on the QoL [ 38 ], it is believed that continuous physical management is necessary for the improvement of HRQoL.…”

The study aimed to identify and compare the factors affecting health-related quality of life (HRQoL) depending on the occupational status of cancer survivors. This study was a secondary data analysis from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) from 2014 to 2018. Hierarchical multivariate linear regression was used to investigate the factors affecting the HRQoL of each group. Non-working cancer survivors had significantly lower HRQoL than working cancer survivors (p < 0.001). A hierarchical multiple regression model showed that demographic, health-related, and psychological characteristics explained 62.0% of non-working cancer survivors’ HRQoL (F = 4.29, p < 0.001). Among the input variables, health-related characteristics were the most influential factors (ΔR2 = 0.274, F = 9.84, p < 0.001). For working cancer survivors, health-related characteristics were the only variable that was statistically associated with HRQoL (F = 5.556, p < 0.001). It is important to enhance physical activities and manage the chronic disease to improve the HRQoL of working cancer survivors. Further, managing health-related characteristics, including depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation, is necessary for non-working cancer survivors. Regarding working survivors, psychological factors such as depressive symptoms and suicidal tendencies did not affect HRQoL. Therefore, an early and effective return to work program should be developed for the improvement of their HRQoL.

“…Social support is one of the foremost contributors of QoL and plays an important role in cancer care. It encompasses practical help, personal care for patients, preservation or enhancement of social networks, and emotional support [ 14 ]. Social support has a positive effect on a variety of outcomes, including physical, psychosocial, social, and spiritual wellbeing [ 15 ].…”

Background Despite high psychosocial needs that negatively affect the quality of life of adults living with cancer and their family caregivers, there is a lack of interventions that are culturally sensitive to low-income countries. This protocol tests the feasibility of a randomised controlled trial on the efficacy of a socio-spiritual intervention to improve the quality of life of adult Nigerians living with cancer and their family caregivers. Methods/design This two-arm trial will recruit 152 adults with cancer and their family caregivers (76 dyads). Participants will be recruited from a clinical facility in Zaria, Kaduna State, Nigeria. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group at a 1:1 ratio. The intervention consists of four weekly face-to-face sessions with a focus on spirituality, social support, and information needs. Control participants will receive usual care. Outcome measures include feasibility, spiritual need, social need, information, cancer health literacy, and quality of life collected at baseline and immediate post-intervention. Discussion Nigeria has the highest rate of extreme poverty globally with high rates of cancer mortality. Testing the feasibility of social-spiritual interventions in resource poor settings is important to establish preliminary efficacy and sustainability. Family-centred interventions for adults living with cancer and their family caregivers can strengthen their coping capabilities. If this intervention is feasible and effective, it could be implemented both in clinical practice and communities in other low and middle income countries.
