“…We were also interested in the relationship between preparatory grief experiences and incidence of depression and anxiety. Therefore, the first 100 patients also completed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), a measure specifically designed for use with general medical and surgical patients [38], that is particularly appropriate for cancer patients [35].…”

Objective To determine the level of psychopathology, traumatic distress and quality of life in men with newly diagnosed clinically localized prostate cancer, the effect on these of a consultation in a combinedspecialist early-prostate clinic, and predictors of psychopathology. Patients and methods Eighty-eight patients were recruited from the combined clinic; they completed a battery of questionnaires including the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the revised Impact of Event Scale (IES) and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire, before their first appointment. Two weeks later they completed the HADS, IES and a patient-satisfaction survey. Results The overall level of psychopathology varied among the questionnaires used, from 0% on the HADS depression scale, 8% on the HADS anxiety scale and 14% on the IES. Anxiety and traumatic stress symptoms were commoner than depressive symptoms. The quality-of-life scores showed a relatively good level of functioning. Pre-morbid factors and disease status did not predict psychological distress. Younger age was mildly predictive of poorer psychological functioning. Anxiety symptoms reduced slightly after a joint clinic appointment, whereas depressive symptoms showed a slight increase. Conclusion This study suggests that men with early localized prostate cancer have low levels of psychopathology overall. However, some men experience distressing psychological symptoms and it is important that future research is conducted to help develop clear guidelines on the optimal methods of detecting and managing men with prostate cancer who have mental health difficulties.

Introduction: The study of the psychological impact in patients diagnosed with cancer is an important topic. Cancer diagnosiscan induce feelings of anxiety, depression, fear of recurrence and produce treatment side effects. Men and women tend to differ in their way of dealing with emotional distress and physical illness. The aim of this study is to investigate and evaluate the prevalence and detection of psychological disease in patients with genitourinary tumors and outline the eventual gender differences. Materials and Methods: State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Self-Rating Depression Scale and Illness Behavior Questionnaire were administered to 60 patients with genitourinary neoplasm. Results: Most patients show symptoms of depression and anxiety during the hospitalization. We have observed a significant gender differences in the psycho-emotional assessment. Conclusion: Our study confirms the importance to make available for the patients a proper and continuous support in pre- and postsurgery period to prevent the generation of psychological disorders.
