Data was obtained through direct interview, using FACT-G questionnaire, version 4, and was managed through a statistical program, using appropriate statistical tests. Results:The emotional domain was the least affected one in both study groups (P = 0.800), while the physical domain reflected a significant statistical differences (P < 0.001); it was mildly affected in 92% of those with radiotherapy and moderately affected in 47% of those on chemotherapy. The social and functional domains were the most badly affected with a significant difference in the functional domain only (P <0.001) where 93% of those on radiotherapy being badly affected. The functional well-being of breast cancer was more affected among those with radiotherapy (P = 0.039), while the physical domains of quality of life of patients with gastrointestinal tract cancer was more badly affected by chemotherapy (P = 0.001).

Introductions: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is 3rd most common cancer. Half of which requires colostomy. It leads to anxiety and depression with less than optimal quality of life. Zung Self-rating Depression Scale is a reliable tool used in Chinese population for identifying and addressing mental health status for appropriate education. The aim of this study is to investigate the depression state in rectal cancer patients after colostomy, then analyze its influence factors. Methods: A cross sectional study in rectal cancer patients who had colostomy after radical surgery for rectal cancer were investigated for depression during early postoperative period within one week using Zung’s self-rating depression scale (SDS). Multiple logistic regression analysis was done to identify the risk factor. Results: There were 55 colostomies patients (male 30 and female 25 patients, age 50.11+/-13.17 years) after rectal cancer surgery during the study period. The SDS score of was higher than national norm (P<0.01). The risk factors for depression were female gender, younger age, lower economic status, and lesser degree of understanding of the disease. Conclusions: The depression level of rectal cancer patients after colostomy was higher than normal population, especially in female, young age, with poor understanding of disease and lower economy status. The effective measures should be targeted to strengthen the health psychosocial health of these patients.

“…Correlation analysis demonstrated that comfort level was positively related to the confronting coping mode and negatively correlated to the avoidance and acceptance-resignation coping mode. Consistent with a previous study [18], only the acceptance-resignation coping mode was entered into the regression equation, and it was an important negative factor influencing the level of comfort. Resignation coping can negatively impact quality of life and physical and psychological comfort.…”

ComfortHead and neck neoplasms Psychological Radiotherapy a b s t r a c t Objective: To determine factors that influence comfort in head and neck neoplasm patients receiving radiotherapy.Methods: In total, 200 head and neck neoplasm patients receiving radiotherapy were recruited from three tertiary first class hospitals. They were assessed by Radiotherapy Comfort Questionnaire for patients with head and neck neoplasm, Social Support Scale, and Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire.Results: The total score of comfort was 60.54 ± 8.32. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that number of radiation treatments, family accompaniment, educational level, resignation coping mode, complications due to diabetes, accompanying chemotherapy, and the utilization of social support significantly influenced comfort level (p < 0.05). Among these, number of radiation treatments, complications due to diabetes, accompanying chemotherapy, and resignation coping were negative factors.Conclusion: Encouraging utilization of social support systems and a positive coping mode is important for increasing comfort level in head and neck neoplasm patients during radiotherapy. Nurses should pay particular attention to those patients during later stages of radiotherapy or chemotherapy, with diabetes, without family accompaniment, and with lower education level.
