目的:本研究旨在探讨影响肿瘤科患者焦虑水平的多方面因素,特别关注土耳其地震的影响。我们的目标是识别和理解社会人口统计学,临床,以及与癌症患者焦虑相关的生活方式决定因素,检查创伤性事件,比如地震,有助于提高焦虑水平。
方法:进行了横断面研究,涉及149名肿瘤患者在土耳其两个著名的肿瘤中心接受治疗。该研究收集了全面的社会人口统计学信息,并使用贝克焦虑量表评估了焦虑水平。使用SPSS20.0(IBMCorp.,Armonk,NY),采用一系列统计方法,包括描述性统计,独立t检验,Mann-WhitneyU测试,和卡方检验。
结果:研究结果强调了与肿瘤患者焦虑水平显著相关的几个因素。值得注意的是,女人,年轻患者(年龄<65岁),和特定癌症类型的个体表现出更高的焦虑水平。焦虑加剧也与身体功能受损有关,地震的经验,不规则的睡眠模式,饮食习惯,疲劳,和抗抑郁药的使用。
结论:这项研究提供了对影响肿瘤患者焦虑水平的因素的复杂相互作用的见解。了解这些决定因素对于定制有效的社会心理支持和干预措施至关重要。结果强调需要整体方法来提高癌症患者的整体生活质量。性别,年龄,癌症类型,身体健康,生活方式的选择,和暴露于创伤都在影响焦虑水平中起关键作用。这些发现对制定和实施旨在改善肿瘤患者焦虑管理和整体福祉的有针对性的心理社会干预措施具有实际意义。
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to explore the multifaceted factors influencing anxiety levels in oncology patients, with a specific focus on the impact of earthquakes in the context of Turkey. Our objective is to identify and understand sociodemographic, clinical, and lifestyle determinants associated with anxiety in cancer patients, examining how traumatic events, such as earthquakes, contribute to heightened anxiety levels.
METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted, involving 149 oncology patients undergoing treatment at two prominent oncology centers in Turkey. The study collected comprehensive sociodemographic information and assessed anxiety levels using the Beck Anxiety Scale. The dataset was analyzed using SPSS 20.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY), employing a range of statistical methods including descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, and Chi-square tests.
RESULTS: The findings underscore several factors significantly linked to anxiety levels in oncology patients. Notably, women, younger patients (age <65), and individuals with specific cancer types exhibited higher anxiety levels. Elevated anxiety was also associated with compromised physical functioning, experiences of earthquakes, irregular sleep patterns, dietary habits, fatigue, and the use of antidepressants.
CONCLUSIONS: This study provides insights into the intricate interplay of factors influencing anxiety levels in oncology patients. Understanding these determinants is paramount for tailoring effective psychosocial support and interventions. The results underscore the need for holistic approaches to enhance the overall quality of life for cancer patients. Gender, age, cancer type, physical well-being, lifestyle choices, and exposure to trauma all play pivotal roles in influencing anxiety levels. These findings hold practical implications for the development and implementation of targeted psychosocial interventions aimed at improving anxiety management and overall well-being for oncology patients.
