“…Other parameters independently determining SPB included the monthly family income and payment method. The above results showed that the poorer the family, the higher the SPB, consistent with multiple studies[ 21 - 24 ]. The patients with relatively high family income and medical insurance had no overt worries during treatment and nursing, which provided some comfort.…”

BACKGROUND Cervical cancer is the fourth commonest malignancy in women around the world. It represents the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in South East Asian women, and an important cancer death cause in women of developing nations. Data collected in 2018 revealed 5690000 cervical cancer cases worldwide, 85% of which occurred in developing countries. AIM To assess self-perceived burden (SPB) and related influencing factors in cervical cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy. METHODS Patients were prospectively included by convenient sampling at The Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University, China between March 2018 and March 2019. The survey was completed using a self-designed general information questionnaire, the SPB scale for cancer patients, and the self-care self-efficacy scale, Strategies Used by People to Promote Health, which were delivered to patients with cervical cancer undergoing radiotherapy. Measurement data are expressed as the mean ± SD. Enumeration data are expressed as frequencies or percentages. Caregivers were the spouse, offspring, and other in 46.4, 40.9, and 12.7%, respectively, and the majority were male (59.1%). As for pathological type, 90 and 20 cases had squamous and adenocarcinoma/adenosquamous carcinomas, respectively. Stage IV disease was found in 12 (10.9%) patients. RESULTS A total of 115 questionnaires were released, and five patients were excluded for too long evaluation time ( n = 2) and the inability to confirm the questionnaire contents ( n = 3). Finally, a total of 110 questionnaires were collected. They were aged 31-79 years, with the 40-59 age group being most represented (65.4% of all cases). Most patients were married (91.8%) and an overwhelming number had no religion (92.7%). Total SPB score was 43.13 ± 16.65. SPB was associated with the place of residence, monthly family income, payment method, transfer status, the presence of radiotherapy complications, and the presence of pain ( P < 0.05). The SPB and self-care self-efficacy were negatively correlated ( P < 0.01). In multivariate analysis, self-care self-efficacy, place of residence, monthly family income, payment method, degree of radiation dermatitis, and radiation proctitis were influencing factors of SPB ( P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Patients with cervical cancer undergoing radiotherapy often have SPB. Self-care self-efficacy scale, place of residence, monthly family income, payment method, and radiation dermatitis and proctitis are factors independently influencing SPB.

“…At present, the average score of self‐perceived burden in patients with CML was higher than that in patients with breast cancer (Yeung et al, 2019), and lower than that in patients with urologic cancer (Ting et al, 2020). About 70.6% of patients reported moderate to severe self‐perceived burden, suggesting a high degree of concern about the impact of their illness on caregivers.…”

“…Evidence has shown that self‐perceived burden is associated with extensive psychological consequences (e.g. depression) and poorer QoL in patients with chronic pain, urologic cancer and breast cancer (Kowal, Wilson, McWilliams, Péloquin, & Duong, 2012; Ting et al, 2020; Yeung, Lu, & Mak, 2019). Moreover, one study indicated that self‐perceived burden mediated the relationship between self‐stigma and QoL among breast cancer survivors (Yeung et al, 2019).…”

Aims and objectives:To investigate the relationship between illness uncertainty, selfperceived burden and quality of life and explore the mediating role of self-perceived burden between illness uncertainty and quality of life in patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia.Background: Patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia need long-term, potentially lifelong therapy to control the disease, which affects their quality of life. There is a need for exploring potentially changeable factors to develop interventions. Little is known about the effects of illness uncertainty and self-perceived burden on quality of life in this population. Design:A cross-sectional study. Methods: A convenience sample of 248 patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia was recruited from four university hospitals from February to August 2020. Participants were assessed with the Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale, Self-Perceived Burden Scale, and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire. The STROBE checklist was used to report the results.Results: Illness uncertainty and self-perceived burden were negatively associated with quality of life in patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia. Self-perceived burden partially mediated the relationship between illness uncertainty and quality of life. The indirect effect was −0.101, accounting for 22.9% of the total effect. Conclusion:The findings revealed the relationship between illness uncertainty, selfperceived burden and quality of life in patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia. Selfperceived burden exerted a mediating role between illness uncertainty and quality of life in this population. Relevance to clinical practice:This study alerts healthcare providers to pay attention to patients' illness uncertainty and self-perceived burden, which can contribute to develop effective interventions to improve the quality of life among patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia in the clinical practice.

“… 24 The SPBS, which consists of 10 items, is rated by a 5-point Likert Scale (1=not at all; 5=all the time). The Malay version of the 10-item SPBS used in the study by Ting et al 65 revealed that this is a valid and reliable scale for patients with urological cancer (α=0.99). Meanwhile, the care burden on caregivers will be examined by 22 items in the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI).…”

The effects of psychosocial and economic factors on the quality of life of patients with end-stage renal disease and their caregivers in Klang Valley, Malaysia: protocol for a mixed-methods study

et al. 2022

IntroductionThe number of patients in Malaysia requiring dialysis is expected to rise substantially in the future due to the ageing population and increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus and hypertension. Hence, more individuals will be expected to adopt the role of caregivers in the future. The upward trend of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and caregiving for dialysis patients has detrimental consequences for both patients and caregivers in terms of their psychological well-being and quality of life. Despite the current circumstances, there are very few studies in Malaysia that have explored the psychosocial factors, specifically on the economic impact of the management of ESRD.Methods and analysisThis two-phase sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, incorporating a quantitative design (phase I) and a qualitative study (phase II), is to be conducted in 4 government hospitals and 10 other non-governmental organisations or private dialysis centres within Klang Valley, Malaysia. A cross-sectional survey (phase I) will include 236 patient-caregiver dyads, while focus group discussions (phase II) will include 30 participants. The participants for both phases will be recruited purposively. Descriptive statistics, independent sample t-tests and multiple regression analysis will be used for analyses in phase I, and thematic analysis will be used in phase II.Ethics and disseminationApproval for the study has been obtained from the National Medical Research and Ethics Committee (MREC) (NMRR-21-1012-59714) and the Research Ethics Committee of Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz UKM (UKM PPI/111/8/JEP-2021–078) and University of Malaya Medical Centre (MREC ID NO: 2 02 178–10346). Informed consent of the participants will be obtained beforehand, and no personal identifiers will be obtained from the participants to protect their anonymity. The findings will be published in peer-reviewed scientific journals and presented at national or international conferences with minimal anonymised data.
