“…The prevalence of probable depression in our sample was six times higher than the previously reported prevalence among Mexican women (5.8% of general population) 38 . However, such prevalence was lower than the results of an earlier study in women with breast cancer in Mexico 22 (43.6%) and a study from China 39 that found a 57.9% prevalence of depression among women with breast cancer and 71.1% among those with cervical cancer.…”

“…Improving access to mental healthcare is an unmet psychological need that might decrease the odds of probable depression. The association of SC‐needs with depression among cancer patients has been previously described 22,35,40 . However, our findings indicate that high‐quality timely person‐centered cancer care (above 75th percentile, when women totally agreed with receiving timely care) was associated with reduced odds of probable depression in women with breast or cervical cancer, regardless of the patient's sociodemographic and clinical characteristics.…”

“…In addition, women with these cancers face adverse physical, emotional, and sexual experiences; cancer‐related stigma; financial hardships; and difficulties in obtaining health‐related information 20 . Indeed, up to 43.6% of women with breast cancer report substantial unmet SC‐needs 21 and depression symptoms 22 …”

Objective To compare the prevalence of depression, supportive care needs (SC‐needs), and quality of patient‐centered cancer care (PCC‐quality) between women with breast cancer and women with cervical cancer and to assess the association of SC‐needs and PCC‐quality with depression. Methods We conducted a cross‐sectional survey in a public oncology hospital in Mexico City with 247 breast cancer and 165 cervical cancer ambulatory patients aged ≥18 years with at least one hospitalization and ≤5 years since diagnosis. Participants completed the short‐form Supportive Care Needs Survey, the Patient‐Centered Quality of Cancer Care Questionnaire, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. We performed multiple logistic regression analyses to evaluate the association between SC‐needs, PCC‐quality, and probable presence of depression. Results Nearly all women reported SC‐needs—mainly health system and information needs, followed by physical and psychological needs. PCC‐quality was substandard in both groups. PCC‐quality was lowest when addressing biopsychosocial needs, followed by information for treatment decision‐making needs. Cervical cancer patients had probable depression more often (41.2%) than those with breast cancer (29.5%). Having unmet psychological and care needs was associated with increased odds of probable depression, while high‐quality timely care was associated with reduced odds of probable depression. Conclusion In Mexico, women with cervical and breast cancer face unmet SC‐needs, probable depression, and substandard PCC‐quality, pointing to priority areas for improvements in cancer care.

BackgroundAlthough psychological symptoms and oral health status are associated with health management and outcomes among cancer patients, their association has not been assessed in Saudi Arabia. We aimed to assess the symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress and their association with their oral health status, adjusting for sociodemographic and clinical factors.MethodsA self-reported study included 375 adult cancer patients who received outpatient healthcare services in the Oncology Department, King Abdulaziz Medical City-Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, between April 1 and August 31, 2017. We used the Arabic version of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale to dichotomize a binary outcome for each. Oral health was evaluated by self-rating from “very good” to “bad”.ResultsA high prevalence of subjective depression, anxiety, and stress was found (44.8%, 52.5%, and 42.7%, respectively). Of the sample, 17.9% self-reported “bad” oral health, which is associated with a high risk of anxiety and stress, and its association remains significant after controlling for other factors (adjusted odds ratio=6.48 and 4.73, respectively). Being <60 years old, high level of formal education, low income, breast cancer, and lung cancer were associated with increased psychological symptoms.ConclusionEvery 6 in 10 cancer patients in this study reported at least one psychosocial symptom. The findings suggest that there exists an association between self-reported “bad” oral health and psychosocial symptoms. Being <60 years old, low income, high level of formal education, breast cancer, and lung cancer were associated with psychological symptoms. Routine psychological counseling and oral health screening in outpatient oncology clinics may improve psychological outcomes and cancer management.

Objetivo. Evaluar el efecto de una intervención cognitivo-conductual grupal sobre la sintomatología ansiosa-depresiva y el funcionamiento autonómico afectivo en mujeres con cáncer de mama. Método. Estudio pre-experimental con una muestra de 17 mujeres mexicanas con un nivel de depresión de moderada-severa y diagnóstico de cáncer de mama. Los instrumentos de evaluación fueron el Inventario de Depresión de Beck y la Escala de ansiedad de Hamilton; además de una evaluación del funcionamiento autonómico mediante el registro intra-sesión de la temperatura periférica nasal. Resultados. Se observó una reducción de los síntomas de depresión (Z=-3.182, p=0.001), ansiedad (Z=-2.697, p=0.007) y un incremento de la temperatura al finalizar el tratamiento (Z=-2.669, p=008) que se mantuvo por seis meses (Z=-3.266, p=0.001). Conclusión. La terapia cognitivo conductual grupal fue eficaz para la reducción de la sintomatología ansiosa-depresiva y la regulación autonómica en el grupo de mujeres con cáncer de mama.
