“…Indirectly, these can cause more anxiety to the patients. Some literature found a significant association between marital status and anxiety [28]; however, our study found no significant association in line with some other literature [11]. Same goes to religion factor as studies have shown that anxiety was associated with religion in which religious belief has significantly reduced anxiety or patient's stress and reduced the avoidance coping thus support in reducing stress [29].…”

Background: Venepuncture is one of the commonest stressful invasive procedures in the health care setting. Unfortunately, to date, there was a lack of locally published studies that studied anxiety, especially before the procedure among adult patients. Hence, this study was conducted to determine the factors associated with the state and trait-anxiety among adult patients before the venepuncture procedure in UiTMMC. Methods: A cross-sectional pilot study was conducted among patients while waiting for a venepuncture procedure in March 2020. Patients aged 18 years old and above, Malaysian, able to understand English or Malay and had experienced venepuncture in UiTMMC were recruited. Malay validated version of the State-Trait-Anxiety-Inventory (STAI) Questionnaire was used to assess the anxiety level. Data were analysed using IBM SPSS Version 26.0, and multiple linear regression was used to determine the associated factors for state and trait-anxiety before the venepuncture procedure. Results: A total of 330 patients with a mean age of 46.34 ± 14.34 years participated in this study. The mean of the state-anxiety score was 38.02 ± 14.25 and the mean trait-anxiety score was 36.46 ± 11.47. The correlation between state-anxiety and trait-anxiety scores was highly significant (r=0.870, p<0.001). Factors associated with state-anxiety and trait-anxiety contributed with 72.6% and 58.5% variances, respectively. Conclusions: Adult patients who waiting for venepuncture in were average low state and trait anxiety scores. Although the associated factors were majority non-modifiable, this finding still can instil awareness to the health care workers who are dealing with needle procedurals.

“…Covariates were selected based on previous literature indicating that these variables are associated with mental health (34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40). The following six covariates were employed: age (<65, 65-74, >74), province (Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan), education (less than post-secondary degree/diploma and post-secondary degree/diploma), household income (<$50,000 a year; ≥$50,000, <$100,000 a year; ≥$100,000, <$150,000 a year; ≥$150,000 a year), marital status (married or common law; not married/not common-law: single, never married, never lived with partner, widowed, divorced, or separated), and ethnicity [other (nonwhite), white only, to account for less than five cell counts].…”

“…However, patients are still at risk of complications and side effects, especially urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction (4). When these side effects occur among younger patients (e.g., 40 to 65 years of age), they violate expectations regarding urinary and erectile function age norms and often negatively impact the psychological well-being of patients (5)(6)(7).…”

Background: Small-scale studies indicate an increase in mental health disorders among prostate cancer survivors compared to the general population, but large population-based data assessing this relationship are scarce. The present study examined the prevalence of lifetime history of prostate cancer in a cross-sectional sample of Canadian men and assessed the contribution of lifetime history of a prostate cancer diagnosis, multimorbidity, and current alcohol and smoking status to the association with current mental health outcomes in this population.Methods: The analytical sample included 25,183 men (aged 45 to 85 years old), who completed a survey as part of the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA). The Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D10), Kessler's Psychological Distress Scale (K10), and self-reported mental health were mental health outcomes. Multiple logistic regression analyses, and controlling for the complexity of the design and covariates, evaluated the association between prostate cancer survivorship, multimorbidity, alcohol and smoking status, and current mental health outcomes.Results: The prevalence of lifetime history of prostate cancer diagnosis in this population-based sample of men was 4% (95% CI: 3.7, 4.4). Our results indicate statistically significantly higher odds of current psychological distress (aOR = 1.52, 95% CI: 1.09, 2.11) and screening positive for depression (aOR = 1.24; 95% CI: 1.02, 1.51) among survivors of prostate cancer, compared to men without a history of prostate cancer diagnosis in demographics controlled analyses. After addition of multimorbidity and substance use, the odds of screening positive for depression among survivors of prostate cancer are 1.32 (95% CI: 1.06, 1.64) higher compared to men who never had a history of prostate cancer diagnosis.Interpretation: Patient education and empowerment programs aimed at addressing concerns during the diagnosis and treatment and enhancing survivorship care plans by adding routine screening for mental distress to help survivors overcome poor mental health during the cancer survivorship journey, are warranted.

“…Therefore, marriage has an effect on mental health across societies. It lowers depression, anxiety, suicide risk, and substance abuse ( Spiker, 2014 ). The present study strengthens the role of social networks such as marital relationships in understanding health behaviors and health outcomes among the population ( Christakis and Fowler, 2008 ; Molloy et al, 2009 ).…”

The study has investigated the self-rated psychological health of hypertensive patients in Palestine. To that end, a stratified random sample of 502 hypertensive patients (aged ⩾ 18 years) was asked to complete a validated Arabic version of the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28). After collection, the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Mann–Whitney U test and logistic regression. In this study, it was found the mean scores for GHQ were statistically higher for females than males ( p < 0.05). The females were found to be 1.701 (95% CI = 1.025–2.823) times more at risk of psychological disorders compared to males. In conclusion, improvement of social determinants of hypertensive patients can make a difference in their psychological/mental health.
