Association of longitudinal trajectories of general and abdominal adiposity during middle age with mental health and well-being in late life: A prospective analysis. Psychiatry Res 2024; 335:115863. [PMID: 38503007 DOI: 10.1016/j.psychres.2024.115863] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2023] [Revised: 12/09/2023] [Accepted: 03/14/2024] [Indexed: 03/21/2024]
Abstract
Single measures of adiposity markers, such as body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC), are associated with adverse mental health outcomes; however, long-term patterns of adiposity and their health effects remain unclear. The current study assessed adiposity trajectories during a 14-year span beyond middle age and their relevance to mental well-being in late life, and the contribution of genetic and lifestyle factors to the trajectories. Based on a nationally representative sample with longitudinal anthropometric measures, adiposity trajectories were identified by latent mixture modeling, and logistic regression model was used to estimate their associations with mental well-being, with adjustment for confounders. Of the 3491 eligible participants included (mean [SD] age, 69.5 [8.9] years), five discrete BMI and four WC trajectory patterns were identified over 14 years. Compared with the low-stable BMI group (range, 22.8 to 22.9 kg/m²; representing stable healthy body weight), the high-stable group (range, 34.3 to 35.4 kg/m²; stable obese) was associated with increased risk of depression (odds ratio [OR], 1.63; 95 % CI, 1.28-2.07) and low subjective well-being (OR, 1.35; 95 % CI, 1.02-1.79). Compared with the low-stable WC group (range, 75 to 79 cm healthy WC), the high-increasing group (range, 114 to 121 cm) was associated with increased risk of depression (odds ratio [OR], 1.64; 95 % CI, 1.19-2.25) and low well-being (OR, 1.48; 95 % CI, 1.01-2.16). The adiposity trajectories, especially the high-stable/increasing groups, were driven by genetic factors in a dose-response manner, whereas the high/moderate-increasing groups were also behaviorally related. This longitudinal cohort study reveals that stably high trajectory patterns of central and general adiposity during middle age were associated with higher risk of depression and low well-being in late life. The findings indicate the importance of weight management beyond middle age, such as adherence to a healthy lifestyle, in promoting mental health and well-being.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although behavioral mechanisms in the association among depression, anxiety, and cancer are plausible, few studies have empirically studied mediation by health behaviors. We aimed to examine the mediating role of several health behaviors in the associations among depression, anxiety, and the incidence of various cancer types (overall, breast, prostate, lung, colorectal, smoking-related, and alcohol-related cancers). METHODS Two-stage individual participant data meta-analyses were performed based on 18 cohorts within the Psychosocial Factors and Cancer Incidence consortium that had a measure of depression or anxiety (N = 319 613, cancer incidence = 25 803). Health behaviors included smoking, physical inactivity, alcohol use, body mass index (BMI), sedentary behavior, and sleep duration and quality. In stage one, path-specific regression estimates were obtained in each cohort. In stage two, cohort-specific estimates were pooled using random-effects multivariate meta-analysis, and natural indirect effects (i.e. mediating effects) were calculated as hazard ratios (HRs). RESULTS Smoking (HRs range 1.04-1.10) and physical inactivity (HRs range 1.01-1.02) significantly mediated the associations among depression, anxiety, and lung cancer. Smoking was also a mediator for smoking-related cancers (HRs range 1.03-1.06). There was mediation by health behaviors, especially smoking, physical inactivity, alcohol use, and a higher BMI, in the associations among depression, anxiety, and overall cancer or other types of cancer, but effects were small (HRs generally below 1.01). CONCLUSIONS Smoking constitutes a mediating pathway linking depression and anxiety to lung cancer and smoking-related cancers. Our findings underline the importance of smoking cessation interventions for persons with depression or anxiety.

Association of dietary overall antioxidant intake with all-cause and cause-specific mortality among adults with depression: evidence from NHANES 2005-2018. Food Funct 2024; 15:4603-4613.

Abstract
Higher intakes of individual antioxidants such as vitamins A, C, and E have been linked to mortality in the general population, but the association of overall antioxidant intake with mortality especially in depressed adults remains unclear. We aimed to investigate whether the dietary overall antioxidant intake is associated with all-cause and cause-specific mortality among depressed adults. This study included 3051 US adults with depression, who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2005 to 2018. Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) was used to define depression and evaluate depression severity. The dietary antioxidant quality score (DAQS) and dietary antioxidant index (DAI) were calculated based on the intakes of vitamins A, C, and E, zinc, selenium, and magnesium. A higher DAQS and DAI were significantly associated with lower depression scores (PHQ-9) (all P-trend < 0.05). For individual antioxidants, significant negative associations of vitamins A and E with all-cause mortality were observed. For overall antioxidant intake, the DAQS and DAI were inversely associated with all-cause and cancer mortality. Compared with participants in the lowest categories of DAQS and DAI, the corresponding HRs (95% CIs) in the highest categories were 0.63 (0.42-0.93) and 0.70 (0.49-0.98) for all-cause mortality and 0.39 (0.17-0.87) and 0.43 (0.21-0.88) for cancer mortality, respectively. The overall dietary antioxidant intake was beneficially associated with all-cause and cancer mortality in depressed adults. These findings suggest that comprehensive dietary antioxidant intake may improve depressive symptoms and lower mortality risk among adults with depression.

App-based support for breast cancer patients to reduce psychological distress during therapy and survivorship - a multicentric randomized controlled trial. Front Oncol 2024; 14:1354377. [PMID: 38699636 PMCID: PMC11064693 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2024.1354377] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2023] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction The negative impact of unmanaged psychological distress on quality of life and outcome in breast cancer survivors has been demonstrated. Fortunately, studies indicate that distress can effectively be addressed and even prevented using evidence-based interventions. In Germany prescription-based mobile health apps, known as DiGAs (digital health applications), that are fully reimbursed by health insurances, were introduced in 2020. In this study, the effectiveness of an approved breast cancer DiGA was investigated: The personalized coaching app PINK! Coach supports and accompanies breast cancer patients during therapy and follow-up. Methods PINK! Coach was specifically designed for breast cancer (BC) patients from the day of diagnosis to the time of Follow-up (aftercare). The app offers individualized, evidence-based therapy and side-effect management, mindfulness-based stress reduction, nutritional and psychological education, physical activity tracking, and motivational exercises to implement lifestyle changes sustainably in daily routine. A prospective, intraindividual RCT (DRKS00028699) was performed with n = 434 patients recruited in 7 German breast cancer centers from September 2022 until January 2023. Patients with BC were included independent of their stage of diseases, type of therapy and molecular characteristics of the tumor. Patients were randomized into one of two groups: The intervention group got access to PINK! over 12 weeks; the control group served as a waiting-list comparison to "standard of care." The primary endpoint was psychological distress objectified by means of Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Subgroups were defined to investigate the app's effect on several patient groups such as MBC vs. EBC patients, patients on therapy vs. in aftercare, patients who received a chemotherapy vs. patients who did not. Results Efficacy analysis of the primary endpoint revealed a significant reduction in psychological distress (least squares estimate -1.62, 95% confidence interval [1.03; 2.21]; p<0.001) among intervention group patients from baseline to T3 vs, control group. Subgroup analysis also suggested improvements across all clinical situations. Conclusion Patients with breast cancer suffer from psychological problems including anxiety and depression during and after therapy. Personalized, supportive care with the app PINK! Coach turned out as a promising opportunity to significantly improve psychological distress in a convenient, accessible, and low-threshold manner for breast cancer patients independent of their stage of disease (EBC/MBC), therapy phase (aftercare or therapy) or therapy itself (chemotherapy/other therapy options). The app is routinely available in Germany as a DiGA. Clinical Trial Registration: DRKS Trial Registry (DRKS00028699).

Abstract
BACKGROUND This overview of systematic reviews with meta-analysis summarized the prevalence of anxiety and depression in different types of tumors around the world. METHODS The quality of reviews was assessed. The degree of overlap between reviews was calculated. The regional prevalence of anxiety and depression was shown in the main text based on the World Health Organization regions. RESULTS Twenty-five reviews including 128 meta-analyses of interest were selected. The pooled prevalence of anxiety in breast tumors was in Africa (19 %), the Americas (38 %), Eastern Mediterranean (56 %), Europe (38 %), South-East Asia (42 %), and Western Pacific (26 %). The pooled prevalence of depression in breast tumors was in Africa (40 %), the Americas (23-25 %), Eastern Mediterranean (49-51 %), Europe (27-29 %), South-East Asia (23-33 %), Western Pacific (29 %). The pooled prevalence of depression in digestive tumors was in the Americas (4-44 %), Eastern Mediterranean (42 %), Europe (20-27 %), South-East Asia (66 %), and Western Pacific (24-40 %). The pooled national prevalence of anxiety and depression was mainly evaluated in China and Iran. LIMITATIONS Important methodological issues were identified. For example, no reviews judged the certainty of evidence. CONCLUSIONS The Eastern Mediterranean region showed the highest prevalence of anxiety and depression for breast tumors. The South-East Asian region showed the highest prevalence of depression for digestive tumors. In these regions, many countries are considered low-income and middle-income countries. Further research funding would help increase the investigation on this topic, which may allow the development of preventive strategies that reduce the prevalence of anxiety and depression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Anxiety is a prevalent comorbidity in lung cancer (LC) patients associated with a decline in quality of life. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), a neuroactive steroid, levels rise in response to stress. Prior research on the association between DHEA and anxiety has yielded contradictory results and no study has investigated this association in LC patients. METHODS A total of 213 patients with LC were recruited from a general hospital. Data on demographic and cancer-related variables were collected. Using the Chinese version of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the degree of anxiety was determined. Cortisol, DHEA, and Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) levels in saliva were measured. Adjusting for confounding variables, a multivariate regression analysis was conducted. RESULTS 147 men and 66 women comprised our group with an average age of 63.75 years. After accounting for demographic and treatment-related factors, anxiety levels were significantly correlated with, post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSSs) (β = 0.332, p < 0.001) and fatigue (β = 0.247, p = 0.02). Association between anxiety and three factors, including DHEA, PTSSs, and fatigue, was observed in patients with advanced cancer stages (III and IV) (DHEA β = 0.319, p = 0.004; PTSS β = 0.396, p = 0.001; fatigue β = 0.289, p = 0.027) and those undergoing chemotherapy (DHEA β = 0.346, p = 0.001; PTSS β = 0.407, p = 0.001; fatigue β = 0.326, p = 0.011). CONCLUSIONS The association between anxiety and DHEA remained positive in advanced cancer stages and chemotherapy patients. Further study is necessary to determine whether DHEA is a potential biomarker of anxiety in LC patients.

[PMID: 38623224 PMCID: PMC11016720 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e29193] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2023] [Revised: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 04/02/2024] [Indexed: 04/17/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose To evaluate effects of aerobic and resistance exercises for cancer-related pain in adults with and surviving cancer. Secondary objectives were to a) evaluate the effect of exercise on fatigue, psychological function, physical function, b) assess fidelity to exercise. Design A systematic search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, AMED, CINAHL and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials was conducted to identify randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing aerobic and/or resistance exercise to control groups. The primary endpoint were changes in cancer-related pain intensity from baseline to post intervention. Meta-regression analysis evaluated predictors for heterogeneity between study findings. Tolerability was defined as reporting of exercise-induced adverse events while fidelity evaluated by reported intervention dropout. Results Twenty-three RCTs including 1954 patients (age 58 ± 8.5 years; 78 % women); 1087 (56 %) and 867 (44 %) allocated to aerobic/resistance exercise therapy and control group, respectively. Exercise therapy was associated with small to moderate decreases in cancer-related pain compared to controls (SMD = 0.38, 95 % CI: 0.17, 0.58). Although there was significant heterogeneity between individual and pooled study effects (Q = 205.25, p < 0.0001), there was no publication bias. Meta-regression including supervision, age, duration and exercise type as moderators showed no significant differences in reported outcomes. Analysis of secondary outcomes revealed a moderate effect for improvements in physical function, fatigue and psychological symptoms. Conclusions Aerobic and resistance exercises are tolerable and effective adjunct therapies to reduce cancer-related pain while also improving physical function, fatigue and mood. Future RCTs of dose, frequency, compliance and exercise type in specific cancer settings are required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the recognized benefits of structured cancer screening, tests outside organized screening programs are common. Comprehensive reports on outside program screening in Europe are lacking, but the Flemish breast cancer (BC) and colorectal cancer (CRC) screening programs monitor data on non-organized tests prescribed by GPs and specialists. METHODS Using data at aggregated level, logistic regression was used to examine the relationship between health care utilization and screening coverage in 308 Flemish municipalities during 2015-18. RESULTS With regards to BC, municipalities with higher rates of gynecologists' visits had lower odds of coverage inside (-8%) and higher odds of coverage outside (+17%) the program. By contrast, municipalities with higher rates of GP visits, had higher odds of coverage inside (+6%) and lower odds of coverage outside (-7%) the program. As for CRC, municipalities with higher rates of visits gastroenterologists' visits had lower odds of coverage inside (-3%). Instead, municipalities with higher rates of GP visits, had higher odds of coverage both inside (+2%) and outside (+5%) the program. Municipalities with higher percentages of people with chronic conditions had higher odds of coverage within both the BC and CRC programs (+5% and +3%), and lower odds of outside screening (-7% and -6%). Municipalities with higher percentages of people 65+ with dementia and with mood disorders had, respectively, higher odds (+13% and +5%) and lower odds (-3% and -4%) of coverage inside both the BC and CRC programs. CONCLUSION Our findings underscore the impact of healthcare utilization on cancer screening coverage at the municipal level in Flanders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression and anxiety are common mental disorders in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC); however, it remains unclear whether they are related to cancer mortality. METHOD Based on a systematic literature search, 12 eligible studies involving 26,907 patients with CRC were included in this study. RESULTS Univariate analysis revealed that anxiety was associated with an all-cause mortality rate of 1.42 (1.02, 1.96), whereas multivariate analysis revealed that anxiety was not associated with an all-cause mortality rate of 0.73 (0.39, 1.36). In univariate and multivariate analyses, depression was associated with all-cause mortality rates of 1.89 (1.68, 2.13) and 1.62 (1.27, 2.06), respectively, but not with the cancer-associated mortality rate of 1.16 (0.91, 1.48) in multivariate analyses. Multivariate subgroup analysis of depression and all-cause mortality showed that younger age (≤65 years), being diagnosed with depression/anxiety after a confirmed cancer diagnosis, and shorter follow-up time (<5 years) were associated with poor prognosis. CONCLUSIONS Our study emphasizes the key roles of depression and anxiety as independent factors for predicting the survival of patients with CRC. However, owing to the significant heterogeneity among the included studies, the results should be interpreted with caution. Early detection and effective treatment of depression and anxiety in patients with CRC have public health and clinical significance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While surgery is generally necessary for most solid-organ cancers, curative-intent resection is occasionally aborted due to unanticipated unresectability or occult metastases. Following aborted cancer surgery (ACS), patients have unique and complex care needs and yet little is known about the optimal approach to their management. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to define the practice patterns and perspectives of an international cohort of cancer surgeons on the management of ACS. METHODS A validated survey assessing surgeon perspectives on patient care needs and management following ACS was developed. The survey was distributed electronically to members of the Society of Surgical Oncology (SSO). RESULTS Among 190 participating surgeons, mean age was 49 ± 11 years, 69% were male, 61% worked at an academic institution, and most had a clinical practice focused on liver/pancreas (30%), breast (23%), or melanoma/sarcoma cancers (20%). Participants estimated that ACS occurred in 7 ± 6% of their cancer operations, most often due to occult metastases (67%) or local unresectability (30%). Most surgeons felt (very) comfortable addressing their patients' surgical needs (92%) and cancer treatment-related questions (90%), but fewer expressed comfort addressing psychosocial needs (83%) or symptom-control needs (69%). While they perceived discussing next available therapies as the patients' most important priority after ACS, surgeons reported avoiding postoperative complications as their most important priority (p < 0.001). While 61% and 27% reported utilizing palliative care and psychosocial oncology, respectively, in these situations, 46% noted care coordination as a barrier to addressing patient care needs. CONCLUSIONS Results from this SSO member survey suggest that ACS is relatively common and associated with unique patient care needs. Surgeons may feel less comfortable assessing psychosocial and symptom-control needs, highlighting the need for novel patient-centered approaches.

Abstract
Although there is little direct evidence supporting that stress affects cancer incidence, it does influence the evolution, dissemination and therapeutic outcomes of neoplasia, as shown in human epidemiological analyses and mouse models. The experience of and response to physiological and psychological stressors can trigger neurological and endocrine alterations, which subsequently influence malignant (stem) cells, stromal cells and immune cells in the tumour microenvironment, as well as systemic factors in the tumour macroenvironment. Importantly, stress-induced neuroendocrine changes that can regulate immune responses have been gradually uncovered. Numerous stress-associated immunomodulatory molecules (SAIMs) can reshape natural or therapy-induced antitumour responses by engaging their corresponding receptors on immune cells. Moreover, stress can cause systemic or local metabolic reprogramming and change the composition of the gastrointestinal microbiota which can indirectly modulate antitumour immunity. Here, we explore the complex circuitries that link stress to perturbations in the cancer-immune dialogue and their implications for therapeutic approaches to cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A compositional mediation model of survival outcomes was established to explore whether 24-h time-use behaviors mediate the relationship between depression and mortality. METHODS 4137 adults from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES 2005-2006) were followed up to 2019. Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to estimate the total effect of depression on mortality. Compositional data analysis was used to examine the relationship between 24-h time-use compositions and mortality. Furthermore, we constructed a compositional mediation model for survival outcomes to investigate the mediating effect of 24-h time-use behaviors on depression and mortality. RESULTS Compared with participants without depression, depressive patients had a significantly higher risk of overall mortality (HR = 1.49, 95 % CI: 1.25,1.79), cardiovascular disease -specific mortality (HR =1.89, 95 % CI: (1.37,2.63)) and mortality from causes other than cardiovascular disease or cancer (HR = 1.62, 95 % CI: (1.25,2.08)). Physical activity, especially moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, significantly mediated the relationship between depression and all-cause and CVD-specific mortality. LIMITATIONS Despite being a cohort study, the exposure and mediatiors were measured at the baseline. Further research is necessary to require a temporal order between the exposure and mediating variables. CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate that 24-h time-use behaviors link depression to mortality. In particular, increasing the time spent on physical activity can reduce the risk of death in patients with depression. This finding provides potential interventions for reducing the risk of death in patients with depression.

Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent and serious types of cancer globally. Previous literature has shown that women with mental illness may have an increased risk of breast cancer, however whether this risk is associated with the use of psychotropic drugs has yet to be elucidated. This study aimed to assess such risk among women with major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar disorder (BD). A nested case-control study design was used with data obtained from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. Logistic regression analysis with adjustments for demographic characteristics, medical and mental comorbidities, and all-cause clinical visits was performed to estimate the risk of breast cancer according to the cumulative defined daily dose (cDDD) of psychotropic drugs. The study included 1564 women with MDD or BD who had breast cancer, and 15,540 women with MDD or BD who did not have breast cancer. After adjusting for important confounders, the long-term use of valproic acid (odds ratio, 95% confidence interval: 0.58, 0.39-0.56, cDDD ≥ 365), citalopram (0.58, 0.37-0.91, cDDD 180-365), and sertraline (0.77, 0.61-0.91, cDDD ≥ 365) was associated with a lower risk of breast cancer compared to a cDDD < 30. The short-term use of fluvoxamine (0.82, 0.69-0.96, cDDD 30-180), olanzapine (0.54, 0.33-0.89, cDDD 30-179), risperidone (0.7, 0.51-0.98, cDDD 30-179), and chlorpromazine (0.48, 0.25-0.90, cDDD 30-179) was associated with a lower risk of breast cancer. We found no evidence of an increased risk of breast cancer in patients with MDD or BD receiving psychotropic drugs.

Abstract
Programmed death-1 and its ligand-1 (PD-1/PD-L1), immune checkpoints proteins, play a crucial role in anti-tumor responses. A large number of studies have evaluated the relationships of PD-1/PD-L1 polymorphisms with risk of cancer, but evidence for the associations remains inconsistent. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to examine the associations between PD-1/PD-L1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and cancer predisposition. Results showed that PD-1.3 and PD-L1 rs17718883 were significantly correlated with overall cancer risk. PD-1.5 was prominently linked with cervical cancer (CC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), TC (thyroid cancer), brain tumor, AML (acute myelocytic leukemia) and UCC (urothelial cell carcinoma) risk, PD-1.9 with breast cancer (BC), AML, esophageal cancer (EC) and ovarian cancer (OC) risk, and PD-1.3 with colorectal cancer (CRC) and BCC (basal cell carcinoma) risk. PD-1.1 polymorphism slightly elevated BC and OC susceptibility, whereas the rs4143815 variant notably decreased the risk of gastric cancer (GC), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and OC, but increased the risk of BC. PD-1.6 was closely linked with AML risk, PD-L1 rs2890658 with NSCLC, HCC and BC risk, rs17718883 with HCC and GC risk, rs10815225 with GC risk, and rs2297136 with NSCLC and HCC risk. Interestingly, the rs7421861, rs10815225, and rs10815225 markedly reduced cancer susceptibility among Asians. The rs7421861 polymrophism decreased cancer risk among Caucasians, rather than the rs10815225 elevated cancer risk. Our results supported that PD-1 and PD-L1 SNPs were dramatically correlated with cancer risk.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Previous studies have suggested a relationship between bad mood and asthma. Therefore, in this study, a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) method was used to explore the correlation between irritability and asthma. MATERIAL AND METHODS Relevant instrumental variables (IVs) were extracted from the aggregated data of the genome-wide association studies (GWAS) database. Inverse-variance weighting (IVW) and weighted median (WME) were used for the MR analysis to evaluate the causal relationship between irritability and asthma using odds ratios (ORs) and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs), respectively. The "leave-one-out" method was used for sensitivity analysis. RESULTS The results of IVW analysis using random-effects models suggested that irritability increased the risk of asthma (OR = 1.954, 95% CI = 1.188-3.214, p = 0.008). The results of WME were consistent with this observation (OR = 1.934, 95% CI = 1.100-3.400, p = 0.021). Additionally, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) might account for approximately 40% of the relationship between irritability and asthma. The sensitivity analysis revealed the stability of the results. CONCLUSION The causal relationship between irritability and asthma was analyzed through MR analysis. Irritability increased the risk of asthma. GERD might play an important mediating role in this relationship.

Xia W, Zheng Y, Guo D, Zhu Y, Tian L. Effects of cognitive behavioral therapy on anxiety and depressive symptoms in advanced cancer patients: A meta-analysis. Gen Hosp Psychiatry 2024; 87:20-32. [PMID: 38280276 DOI: 10.1016/j.genhosppsych.2024.01.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2023] [Revised: 12/09/2023] [Accepted: 01/19/2024] [Indexed: 01/29/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of cognitive behavioral therapy on anxiety and depressive symptoms in patients with advanced cancer. METHODS A systematical search was conducted on Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, Chinese Biomedical Database, CNKI, VIP Database, and Wanfang database, and the search time was from the inception to May 26, 2023. Randomized controlled trials focusing on the effects of cognitive behavioral therapy on anxiety and depressive symptoms in patients with advanced cancer were collected using relevant terms such as advanced stage, cancer, anxiety, depression, and cognitive behavioral therapy. The quality of included studies was evaluated using the Cochrane risk of bias (ROB 2.0) tool, and meta-analysis was performed using RevMan5.4 software. RESULTS 15 articles, including 1,597 patients, were included. Twelve of the studies reported the effect of CBT on anxiety symptoms in 1,485 advanced cancer patients; Fifteen studies reported the effect of CBT on depressive symptoms in 1,861 advanced cancer patients. The results of meta-analysis showed that CBT was effective in decreasing anxiety [SMD = -0.55, 95% CI (-0.82, -0.27), P < 0.001, I2 = 84%] and depressive symptoms [SMD = -0.38, 95% CI (-0.58, -0.17), P < 0.001, I2 = 78%] in patients with advanced cancer compared to controls, especially the interventions that were delivered lasted for 2-8 weeks. CONCLUSION Cognitive behavioral therapy lasting for 2-8 weeks is effective for anxiety and depressive symptoms in advanced cancer patients to a moderate degree, but more rigorous research is needed to guide the choice between online and face-to-face delivery mode and the priority of self-guided versus therapist-guided interventions still needs to be studied.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether perceived stress is associated with loneliness and depressive symptoms in general adults, and to what extent sleep quality mediates the associations, remains unknown. The aim of this study was to estimate the associations of perceived stress with loneliness and depressive symptoms, and the mediating role of sleep quality in these associations. METHODS Cross-sectional data on 734 participants (aged 18-87 years) were analyzed. Perceived stress was assessed using the 10-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10; range 0-40). Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI; range 0-21). Loneliness was assessed using the three-item short form of the Revised University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) loneliness scale (range 3-9). Depressive symptoms were assessed using the 10-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CESD-10) Scale (range 0-30). General linear regression models, multivariable logistic regression models, and formal mediation analysis were performed. RESULTS After adjustment for age and sex, we found that with each 1-point increment in the perceived stress score, both the loneliness score (β = 0.07; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.06, 0.08) and depression score (β = 0.45; 95% CI: 0.40, 0.49) increased significantly. Robust results were observed when adjusting for more confounders. Furthermore, sleep quality mediated 5.3% (95% CI: 1.3%, 10.0%; P = 0.014) and 9.7% (95% CI: 6.2%, 14.0%; P < 0.001) of the associations of perceived stress score with loneliness score and depression score, respectively. CONCLUSIONS In general Chinese adults, perceived stress was positively associated with loneliness and depressive symptoms, and sleep quality partially mediated these associations. The findings reveal a potential pathway from perceived stress to mental health through sleep behaviors, and highlight the importance of implementing sleep intervention programs for promoting mental health among those who feel highly stressed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Depression is also a common concern for lung cancer patients and is of concern because it negatively impacts overall well-being. This study summarizes the existing literature on the impact of exercise interventions on quality of life and depression in patients diagnosed with lung cancer. METHODS A systematic search of electronic databases was performed to identify relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the effects of exercise interventions on depression and quality of life in patients with lung cancer. Two evaluators collected information from the chosen studies utilizing a standardized data extraction form. The quality of the studies was evaluated using the Cochrane risk of bias tool. RESULTS Nine RCTs were included in the meta-analysis, with 798 participants. The pooled standardized mean difference (SMD) for the effect of exercise interventions on depression was -0.60, representing a statistically significant reduction in depression levels following exercise interventions (p < 0.001). The pooled SMD for the effect of exercise interventions on quality of life was 0.61, indicating a statistically significant association between quality of life and exercise interventions (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION There is evidence that exercise may benefit the mental health of individuals with lung cancer, including improvements in depression symptoms and quality of life, based on the intervention studies reviewed here. Given the heterogeneity in findings, however, additional randomized controlled trials are needed to augment the existing findings. Nevertheless, there appears to be sufficient evidence for now to encourage primary care physicians to recommend exercise for patients with lung cancer, while offering guidelines on how to gradually and safely increase physical activity depending on the patient's health status.

Abstract
Patient-reported outcome (PRO) scores have been utilized more frequently, but the relationship of PRO scores to determinants of health and social inequities has not been widely studied. Our goal was to determine the association of PRO scores with social determinants. All patients with a new cancer diagnosis who completed a PRO survey from 2020 to 2022 were included. The PRO survey recorded scores for depression, fatigue, pain interference and physical function. Higher depression, fatigue and pain scores indicated more distress. Higher physical condition scores indicated improved functionality. A total of 1090 patients were included. Married patients had significantly better individual PRO scores for each domain. Patients who were able to use the online portal to complete their survey also had better individual scores. Male patients and non-White patients had worse pain scores than female and White patients, respectively. Patients with prostate cancer had the best scores while patients with head and neck and lung cancer had the worst scores. PRO scores varied by cancer disease site and stage. Social support may act in combination with specific patient/tumor factors to influence PRO scores. These findings present opportunities to address patient support at institutional levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anxiety and depression are critical mental health problems among persons with coronary heart disease (CHD). The range of symptoms is an important stressor for adverse cardiovascular events, and these symptoms can be involved in various ways during the course of CHD. However, the characteristics and mechanisms of comorbidity between the two mental states from the viewpoint of symptom interactions in patients with CHD remain unclear. Therefore, we aim to apply a symptom-oriented approach to identify core and bridge symptoms between anxiety and depression in a population with CHD and to identify differences in network structure over time and symptomatic link profiles. METHODS AND ANALYSIS We designed a multicentre, cross-sectional, longitudinal study of anxiety and depression symptoms among patients with CHD. We will evaluate degrees of symptoms using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale, the Patient Health Questionnaire and the WHO Quality of Life-Brief version. Patients will be followed up for 1, 3 and 6 months after baseline measurements. We will analyse and interpret network structures using R software and its packages. The primary outcomes of interest will include centrality, bridge connections, estimates, differences in network structures and profiles of changes over time. The secondary outcome measures will be the stability and accuracy of the network. By combining cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses, this study should elucidate the central and potential causative pathways among anxiety and depression symptom networks as well as their temporal stability in patients with CHD. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The project conforms to the ethical principles enshrined in the Declaration of Helsinki (2013 amendment) and all local ethical guidelines. The ethics committee at the University of South China approved the study (Approval ID: 2023-USC-HL-414). The findings will be published and presented at conferences for widespread dissemination.

Abstract
Introduction Anxiety and depression are among the common comorbidities of people diagnosed with cancer. However, despite the progress in therapeutic options and outcomes, mental health care and support have lagged behind for cancer patients. Estimating the extent and determinants of mental health disorders among cancer patients is crucial to alert concerned bodies for action. In view of this, we aimed to determine the pooled prevalence and determinants of anxiety and depression among cancer patients in Ethiopia. Methods Relevant literatures were searched on PubMed, African Journals Online, Hinari, Epistemonikos, Scopus, EMBASE, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, and Gray literature sources. Data were extracted into an Excel spreadsheet and analyzed using STATA 17 statistical software. The random effect model was used to summarize the pooled effect sizes with their respective 95% confidence intervals. The I2 statistics and Egger's regression test in conjunction with the funnel plot were utilized to evaluate heterogeneity and publication bias among included studies respectively. Results A total of 17 studies with 5,592 participants were considered in this review. The pooled prevalence of anxiety and depression among cancer patients in Ethiopia were 45.10% (95% CI: 36.74, 53.45) and 42.96% (95% CI: 34.98, 50.93), respectively. Primary and above education (OR= 0.76, 95% CI: 0.60, 0.97), poor social support (OR= 2.27, 95% CI: 1.29, 3.98), occupational status (OR= 0.59; 95% CI: 0.43, 0.82), advanced cancer stage (OR= 2.19, 95% CI: 1.38, 3.47), comorbid illness (OR= 1.67; 95% CI: 1.09, 2.58) and poor sleep quality (OR= 11.34, 95% CI: 6.47, 19.89) were significantly associated with depression. Whereas, advanced cancer stage (OR= 1.59, 95% CI: 1.15, 2.20) and poor sleep quality (OR= 12.56, 95% CI: 6.4 1, 24.62) were the factors associated with anxiety. Conclusion This meta-analysis indicated that a substantial proportion of cancer patients suffer from anxiety and depression in Ethiopia. Educational status, occupational status, social support, cancer stage, comorbid illness and sleep quality were significantly associated with depression. Whereas, anxiety was predicted by cancer stage and sleep quality. Thus, the provision of comprehensive mental health support as a constituent of chronic cancer care is crucial to mitigate the impact and occurrence of anxiety and depression among cancer patients. Besides, families and the community should strengthen social support for cancer patients. Systematic Review Registration https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, identifier CRD42023468621.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer patients often suffer from severe stress reactions psychologically, such as anxiety and depression. Prostate cancer (PC) is one of the common cancer types, with most patients diagnosed at advanced stages that cannot be treated by radical surgery and which are accompanied by complications such as bodily pain and bone metastasis. Therefore, attention should be given to the mental health status of PC patients as well as physical adverse events in the course of clinical treatment. AIM To analyze the risk factors leading to anxiety and depression in PC patients after castration and build a risk prediction model. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed on the data of 120 PC cases treated in Xi'an People's Hospital between January 2019 and January 2022. The patient cohort was divided into a training group (n = 84) and a validation group (n = 36) at a ratio of 7:3. The patients' anxiety symptoms and depression levels were assessed 2 wk after surgery with the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and the Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), respectively. Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors affecting negative mood, and a risk prediction model was constructed. RESULTS In the training group, 35 patients and 37 patients had an SAS score and an SDS score greater than or equal to 50, respectively. Based on the scores, we further subclassified patients into two groups: a bad mood group (n = 35) and an emotional stability group (n = 49). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that marital status, castration scheme, and postoperative Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score were independent risk factors affecting a patient's bad mood (P < 0.05). In the training and validation groups, patients with adverse emotions exhibited significantly higher risk scores than emotionally stable patients (P < 0.0001). The area under the curve (AUC) of the risk prediction model for predicting bad mood in the training group was 0.743, the specificity was 70.96%, and the sensitivity was 66.03%, while in the validation group, the AUC, specificity, and sensitivity were 0.755, 66.67%, and 76.19%, respectively. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed a χ2 of 4.2856, a P value of 0.830, and a C-index of 0.773 (0.692-0.854). The calibration curve revealed that the predicted curve was basically consistent with the actual curve, and the calibration curve showed that the prediction model had good discrimination and accuracy. Decision curve analysis showed that the model had a high net profit. CONCLUSION In PC patients, marital status, castration scheme, and postoperative pain (VAS) score are important factors affecting postoperative anxiety and depression. The logistic regression model can be used to successfully predict the risk of adverse psychological emotions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Both pulmonary rehabilitation training and psychological care have been shown to have a positive effect on the postoperative recovery of patients with lung cancer. However, few studies have combined the two to explore their combined effect. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation training combined with psychological care on postoperative respiratory function and mental health in lung cancer patients. AIM To investigate effect of nursing on postoperative respiratory function and mental health of lung cancer patients. METHODS 122 cases of lung cancer patients who underwent surgical treatment in our hospital and were treated in our department from January 2022 to April 2023 were selected and randomly divided into the control group and observation group. The control group performed the routine care intervention. The observation group was given pulmonary rehabilitation training and psychological care based on conventional nursing interventions. Forced expiratory volume, forced vital capacity. Maximum ventilatory volume (MVV) in one second was measured, and the patient's 6-min walking distance and dyspnoea index scale were used to assess the patient's respiratory condition. The Connor-Davidson resilience scale (CD-RISC), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), and self-rating depression scale (SDS) were used to evaluate the mental health of the patients. RESULTS There was no difference between the two groups regarding age, gender, education level, surgical procedure, type of pathology, and treatment (P > 0.05). After treatment, MVV, 6-min walking distance, toughness, strength, optimism, and total CD-RISC scores were significantly higher in the observation group (P < 0.05), dyspnoea scores, SAS, and SDS scores were substantially lower in the control group compared to the observation group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Pulmonary rehabilitation training combined with psychological care for patients after lung cancer resection could improve lung function, enhance daily activities, effectively relieve negative emotions such as anxiety and depression, and reduce complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anxiety- and cancer-related neuropathy are two persistent effects related to treatment for cancer. Mindfulness meditation has been used with substantial impact as a nonpharmacologic intervention to mitigate side and late effects of treatment. Mobile apps are ubiquitous for most of the general population, yet have a particular relevance for cancer survivors, given that physical and geographic limitations can be present. OBJECTIVE This study aims to describe an ongoing trial of the Mindfulness Coach mobile app for cancer survivors. METHODS In this randomized waitlist controlled trial, cancer survivors experiencing anxiety- or cancer-related neuropathy (200 for neuropathy and 200 for anxiety) and who had finished primary cancer treatment were invited to participate. Data were collected at 3 time points regardless of randomization condition: baseline, 8 weeks, and 16 weeks. Both face-to-face and web-based recruitment strategies were used. The trial was opened for 2 separate primary outcomes (anxiety- or cancer-related neuropathy). The goal was not to compare these groups but to compare treatment and waitlist groups for each condition. In addition to evaluating the impact of mobile mindfulness on reported anxiety- or cancer-related neuropathy, other pain, fatigue, trauma, sleep, and satisfaction with the Mindfulness Coach app will also be assessed. RESULTS Outcomes of the study are expected in early 2024. CONCLUSIONS Mindfulness meditation has become widely practiced, and the use of mobile technology has become ubiquitous. Finding ways to deliver mindfulness meditation to people who have been treated for cancer allows for the intervention to be accessible to a larger number of survivors. The results of this intervention could have implications for further understanding the impact of mindfulness meditation on 2 persistent side and late effects of treatment of cancer, namely anxiety- and cancer-related neuropathy.

Effectiveness of structured psycho-oncological counseling for relatives of lung cancer patients based on the CALM approach-study protocol of a randomized controlled trial. Trials 2024; 25:115. [PMID: 38336739 PMCID: PMC10858519 DOI: 10.1186/s13063-024-07954-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2023] [Accepted: 01/25/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The high incidence combined with the high lethality and bad prognosis of lung cancer highlight the need for psycho-oncological care for both patients and their relatives. While psychological interventions for relatives might be helpful, further research on the impact of specific interventions is necessary. Therefore, this trial aims to evaluate structured psycho-oncological counseling for relatives of lung cancer patients based on the Managing Cancer And Living Meaningfully (CALM) approach compared to usual care. In addition, we explore the impact of psycho-oncological support of relatives on the patients' mental health outcomes. METHODS The study is a single-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial with two measurement time points. Relatives of lung cancer patients and, thus, the patients themselves (i.e., dyads) are randomly allocated to the intervention group (IG) or the control group (CG) regardless of their disease or treatment stage. Relatives in the IG receive structured counseling based on the CALM approach (three to six sessions with psycho-oncologists). The CG receives usual psycho-oncological care. In addition, cancer patients in both study arms can request psycho-oncological support (usual care) as needed, but they will not get a specific intervention. Relatives and patients complete assessments at baseline (T0) and after the intervention/6 weeks (T1). The primary outcome for relatives is anxiety. Relatives' secondary outcomes include depressive symptoms, distress, supportive care needs, and quality of life. Patients' outcomes include anxiety, depression, and distress. All outcomes are assessed using self-report validated questionnaires. Intervention effects will be evaluated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) adjusting for baseline values. Power calculations reveal the need to enroll 200 subjects to detect an effect of d = 0.4. DISCUSSION The study will provide evidence for the effectiveness of the CALM intervention in relatives of lung cancer patients. Furthermore, study results will contribute to a better understanding of the effectiveness of a psycho-oncological intervention for highly impaired cancer patients and their relatives. If the CALM intervention positively affects the relatives' psychosocial outcome, it may be implemented in routine care. TRIAL REGISTRATION German Clinical Trials Register DRKS00030077.

J Cancer Surviv 2024:10.1007/s11764-024-01549-8. [PMID: 38329627 DOI: 10.1007/s11764-024-01549-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 02/09/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE The study aimed to describe the long-term trajectories of anxiety and depression among older cancer survivors and examine sociodemographic and health-related predictors of different trajectories. METHODS Data were from the National Health and Aging Trends Study. Patient Health Questionnaire-4 was used to assess anxiety and depression. Group-based trajectory model was used to identify the distinct trajectories of anxiety and depression from 2015 to 2021. Design-based multinomial logistic regression was used to examine predictors of different trajectories. All analyses accounted for the complex sample design and survey weights. RESULTS A total of 1766 older cancer survivors were included representing 8.9 million older cancer survivors. The prevalence of anxiety and depression from 2015 to 2021 ranged from 25.12 to 29.11%. Four trajectories were identified: sustained low-risk (49.0%), deteriorating (24.1%), meliorating (11.0%), and sustained high-risk (16.1%). Potential predictors of high-risk anxiety and depression include older age, female, lower annual income, abnormal BMI, poorer self-rated health, more difficulty in activities of daily living (ADL), and worse cognitive function (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The anxiety and depression progression patterns are heterogeneous among older cancer survivors. The trajectory affiliations could be predicted by sociodemographic and health-related factors, which have the potential to inform targeted clinical strategies (e.g., improve ADL and ameliorate cognitive function). IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS Anxiety and depression are common among older cancer survivors, and long-term trajectories identified by this study might help realize early-stage identification and individualized interventions for mental disorders.

Abstract
In cancer patients, psychological distress, which encompasses anxiety, depression, and somatization, arises from the complex interplay of emotional and behavioral reactions to the diagnosis and treatment, significantly influencing their functionality and quality of life. The aim was to investigate factors associated with psychological distress in cancer patients. This prospective and multicenter study, conducted by the Spanish Society of Medical Oncology (SEOM), included two cohorts of patients with cancer (localized resected or advanced unresectable). They completed surveys assessing psychological distress (BSI-18) before and after cancer treatment and coping (MINI-MAC) and spirituality (FACIT-sp) prior to therapy. A multivariable logistic regression analysis and a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) were conducted. Between 2019 and 2022, 1807 patients were evaluated, mostly women (54%), average age 64 years. The most frequent cancers were colorectal (30%), breast (25%) and lung (18%). Men had lower levels of anxiety and depression (OR 0.66, 95% CI 0.52-0.84; OR 0.72, 95% CI 0.56-0.93). Colorectal cancer patients experienced less anxiety (OR 0.63, 95% CI 0.43-0.92), depression (OR 0.55, 95% CI 0.37-0.81), and somatization (OR 0.59, 95% CI 0.42-0.83). Patients with localized cancer and spiritual beliefs had reduced psychological distress, whereas those with anxious preoccupation had higher level. SEM revealed a relationship between psychological distress and coping strategies, emphasizing how baseline anxious preoccupation exacerbates post-treatment distress. This study suggests that age, sex, extension and location of cancer, coping and spirituality influence psychological distress in cancer patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As one of the fatal diseases with high incidence, lung cancer has seriously endangered public health and safety. Elderly patients usually have poor self-care and are more likely to show a series of psychological problems. AIM To investigate the effectiveness of the initial check, information exchange, final accuracy check, reaction (IIFAR) information care model on the mental health status of elderly patients with lung cancer. METHODS This study is a single-centre study. We randomly recruited 60 elderly patients with lung cancer who attended our hospital from January 2021 to January 2022. These elderly patients with lung cancer were randomly divided into two groups, with the control group taking the conventional propaganda and education and the observation group taking the IIFAR information care model based on the conventional care protocol. The differences in psychological distress, anxiety and depression, life quality, fatigue, and the locus of control in psychology were compared between these two groups, and the causes of psychological distress were analyzed. RESULTS After the intervention, Distress Thermometer, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) for anxiety and the HADS for depression, Revised Piper's Fatigue Scale, and Chance Health Locus of Control scores were lower in the observation group compared to the pre-intervention period in the same group and were significantly lower in the observation group compared to those of the control group (P < 0.05). After the intervention, Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (QLQ-C30), Internal Health Locus of Control, and Powerful Others Health Locus of Control scores were significantly higher in the observation and the control groups compared to the pre-intervention period in their same group, and QLQ-C30 scores were significantly higher in the observation group compared to those of the control group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The IIFAR information care model can help elderly patients with lung cancer by reducing their anxiety and depression, psychological distress, and fatigue, improving their tendencies on the locus of control in psychology, and enhancing their life qualities.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Our objective was to investigate the trajectories of anxiety, depression, emotional and social functioning in women with newly diagnosed vulvar cancer from the time of diagnosis to 12 months after treatment. A further aim was to identify risk factors for high levels of anxiety. MATERIAL AND METHODS PROVE (PROspective Vulvar Cancer Evaluation) is a nationwide longitudinal cohort study investigating quality of life in women with newly diagnosed vulvar cancer by the following validated patient-reported outcome measures at diagnosis, and 3 and 12 months after treatment: The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire C30, and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Vulvar module VU34. Mean scores, changes over time and associations were analyzed by generalized estimated equations and log-linear regression models, adjusted for possible confounders. RESULTS Between 2019 and 2021, 105 (69%) women completed the questionnaires at all three time points. At diagnosis, 42% of the women reported elevated anxiety levels, decreasing significantly to 30% during the first 12 months. Insomnia, persisting vulvar symptoms and high information needs were significantly associated with a high level of anxiety (relative risk [RR] 2.1, 95% CI 1.2-3.7 for insomnia; RR 2.8, 95% CI 1.7-4.6 for vulvar symptoms, RR 2.7, 95% CI 1.5-4.9 for information needs). We found a trend towards a higher level of anxiety in younger women (<65 years: RR 1.5, 95% CI 1.0-2.5). Participants reported a low and stable prevalence of depression (14%) and high social functioning throughout the study period. CONCLUSIONS Women with newly diagnosed vulvar cancer report a high level of anxiety at diagnosis. Despite a significant improvement, anxiety remains widely prevalent during the first year of follow-up. Targeting insomnia, vulvar symptoms and unmet needs may decrease anxiety during surveillance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little was known about the relationship between perceived neighborhood environment and depression among residents living in mega-communities. Furthermore, the mediating effects of physical activity (PA) and anxiety in this relationship have not been investigated. Thus, this study aimed to comprehensively examine the association between perceived neighborhood environment and depression among residents living in mega-communities, and test whether PA and anxiety mediated the association. METHODS A cross-sectional study on perceived neighborhood environment and depression was conducted among individuals who lived in mega-communities (n = 665) in Guiyang, China from July to August 2022. Perceived neighborhood environment was assessed from the following six aspects: traffic, building quality, accessibility, neighborhood, indoor, and pollution. Depression was measured by the Patients Health Questionnaire-9. Structural equation model was used to evaluate the association between perceived neighborhood environment and depression, and test the mediating effect of PA and anxiety in this association. RESULTS We found that neighborhood (β = -0.144, p = 0.002) and PA (β = -0.074, p < 0.001) were both negatively associated with depression, while anxiety was positively associated with depression (β = 0.447, p < 0.001). Married residents were less likely to experience depression than residents of other marital status. PA played a mediator role in the relationship between accessibility and depression (β = 0.014, p = 0.033). PA mediated the relationship between neighborhood and depression (β = -0.032, p = 0.015). The mediating effect of anxiety in the relationship between perceived neighborhood environment and depression was not significant. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that neighborhood, which was assessed by satisfaction with safety, hygiene, parking, greening, lighting, and building shape, was negatively associated with depression, and PA mediated the relationship.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delineating the compound psychological effect of the pandemic on cancer care, and the interdependency across cancer patient-caregiver dyads have yet to be explored. This study examines the levels of psychological impact of COVID-19 on patient-caregiver dyads anxiety, and the interdependent associations between their COVID-19 and cancer concerns, and risk perceptions. METHOD There were 352 patients and caregivers (patient-caregiver dyads, N = 176) included in this study (43.2% spousal dyads). Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 and questionnaires regarding risk perception, perceived confidence in healthcare system, COVID-19, and cancer-related concerns were administered. Actor-Partner Interdependence Model (APIM) analyses were used to determine the interdependent effects. Indirect effects were tested using mediation pathway analyses. RESULTS Patients reported significantly higher levels of risk perceptions and anxiety than their caregivers (p < 0.01). Anxiety rates (GAD-7 ≥ 10) were also significantly higher (26.7% vs 18.2%, p < 0.01). Dyads' anxiety, "general COVID-19 concerns," "cancer-related concerns," and risk perceptions were correlated (ps < 0.01). APIM showed only actor effects of general COVID-19 concerns, cancer-related COVID-19 concerns, and risk perceptions on anxiety (βs = 0.19-0.53, ps < 0.01). No partner effects were observed. Similar results were found in the composite APIM. Indirect effects of the patient/caregiver's variables on their partner's anxiety were observed in the mediation analyses. CONCLUSION Concerns about COVID-19 and cancer care could be indirectly associated in patient-caregiver dyads and need to be proactively addressed. As pandemic evolves into endemicity, engagement with patients and caregivers should strive to be sensitive to their differential needs and messages should be tailored to the informational needs of each.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW After a cancer diagnosis, patients ask what they can do in addition to the recommended treatments to increase their survival. Many turn to integrative medicine modalities and lifestyle changes to improve their chances of survival. Numerous studies have demonstrated that lifestyle changes can significantly improve survival rates for cancer patients. Less support exists for the use of natural products or supplements to improve cancer survival. In this manuscript, we review key findings and evidence in the areas of healthy eating habits, physical activity, stress management and social support, and sleep quality, as well as natural products and supplements as they relate to the cancer recurrence and survival. RECENT FINDINGS While more research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms underlying the associations between lifestyle changes and cancer survival, findings suggest that lifestyle modifications in the areas of diet, physical activity, stress management and social support, and sleep quality improve clinical cancer outcomes. This is especially true for programs that modify more than one lifestyle habit. To date, outside of supplementing with vitamin D to maintain adequate levels, conflicting conclusion within the research remain regarding the efficacy of using natural products or supplement to improve cancer recurrence of disease or cancer survival. A call for further research is warranted. Lifestyle screening and counseling should be incorporated into cancer treatment plans to help improve patient outcomes. While the scientific community strives for the pursuit of high-quality research on natural products to enhance cancer survival, transparency, dialogue, and psychological safety between patients and clinicians must continue to be emphasized. Proactive inquiry by clinicians regarding patients' supplement use will allow for an informed discussion of the benefits and risks of natural products and supplements, as well as a re-emphasis of the evidence supporting diet and other lifestyle habits to increase survival.

Gynecol Oncol 2024; 181:141-154. [PMID: 38163384 DOI: 10.1016/j.ygyno.2023.12.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2023] [Revised: 12/17/2023] [Accepted: 12/21/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This systematic review aimed to investigate what are the most relevant social determinants of health (SDH), how they are measured, how they interact among themselves and what is their impact on the outcomes of cervical cancer patients. METHODS Search was performed in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane, and Google Scholar databases from January 2001 to September 2022. The protocol was registered at PROSPERO (CRD42022346854). We followed the PICOS strategy: Population- Patients treated for cervical cancer in the United States; Intervention - Any SDH; Comparison- None; Outcome measures- Cancer treatment outcomes related to the survival of the patients; Types of studies- Observational studies. Two reviewers extracted the data following the PRISMA guidelines. Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist for Analytical Cross-Sectional Studies was used for risk of bias (ROB) assessment. RESULTS Twenty-four studies were included (22 had low and 2 had moderate ROB). Most manuscripts analyzed data from public registries (83.3%) and only one SDH (54.17%). The SDH category of Neighborhood was not included in any study. Although the SDH were measured differently across the studies, not being married, receiving treatment at a low-volume hospital, and having public insurance (Medicaid or Medicare) or not being insured was associated with shorter survival of cervical cancer patients in most studies. CONCLUSIONS There is a deficit in the number of studies comprehensively assessing the impact of SDH on cervical cancer treatment-related outcomes. Marital status, hospital volume and health insurance status are potential predictors of worse outcome.

Abstract
The neurobiology of tumors has attracted considerable interest from clinicians and scientists and has become a multidisciplinary area of research. Neural components not only interact with tumor cells but also influence other elements within the TME, such as immune cells and vascular components, forming a polygonal relationship to synergistically facilitate tumor growth and progression. This review comprehensively summarizes the current state of the knowledge on nerve-tumor crosstalk in head and neck cancer and discusses the potential underlying mechanisms. Several mechanisms facilitating nerve-tumor crosstalk are covered, such as perineural invasion, axonogenesis, neurogenesis, neural reprogramming, and transdifferentiation, and the reciprocal interactions between the nervous and immune systems in the TME are also discussed in this review. Further understanding of the nerve-tumor crosstalk in the TME of head and neck cancer may provide new nerve-targeted treatment options and help improve clinical outcomes for patients.

Abstract
Background: Effective interventions are required to address tobacco smoking in people with depressive symptomatology. In this context, contingency management could be one useful therapeutic strategy. Objectives: This study is a systematic review of tobacco cessation interventions for smokers with depressive symptomatology including a contingency management component, evaluating their efficacy with regards to tobacco abstinence, depressive symptomatology, adherence to treatment and other variables related to tobacco use. For this purpose, a search was carried out in Pubmed, PsycINFO, Cochrane, Web of Science and ClinicalTrials.gov in September 2022. The quality of the studies was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool. Results: Of the 208 articles identified, six were included in this review. Results: For the most part, the research included suggests that contingency management is an effective strategy for improving abstinence outcomes, adherence, and other smoking-related variables such as delay discounting and intensity of cigarette demand in smokers with depressive symptomatology. Conclusions: Although contingency management could be a promising intervention in tobacco smokers with depressive symptomatology, further research in this area is still required.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Despite the known benefits of physical activity, the effect of habitual physical activity (HPA) on depression and anxiety remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the association of HPA with the risk of depression and anxiety among Chinese adults, with the consideration of disease severity. METHODS The participants in this multicentre cross-sectional study were from the nationwide survey of the psychology and behaviour of Chinese residents. Depression and anxiety were measured using the nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire and seven-item Generalised Anxiety Disorder scale. HPA was assessed by the short form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Crude and adjusted ORs with their 95% CIs were estimated by using ordinal logistic regression. RESULTS Of the 19 798 participants, 3901 (19.7%) had anxiety and 8914 (45.02%) had depression. Compared with inactive participants, depression risk in individuals reporting low, median and high volume HPA was reduced by 23% (OR 0.77, 95% CI 0.66 to 0.89), 21% (OR 0.79, 95% CI 0.68 to 0.90) and 13% (OR 0.87, 95% CI 0.78 to 0.98), respectively, after adjustment for confounder. No significant association of HPA with anxiety risk was observed. CONCLUSION Participation in HPA, whether low, median or high volume, was associated with a lower risk of depression compared with inactive participation, while no significant association was observed between HPA and anxiety.

Abstract
Although the relationship between psychological factors and pancreatic cancer outcomes has been widely discussed, controversy remains. We will for the first time systematically summarize the literature to explore the correlation of anxiety and depression to the prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer. The findings will fill existing research gaps, informing healthcare providers about better psychological care and medical treatment. The following databases will be retrieved from their inception to July 2023: Cochrane Library, MEDLINE (PubMed), Web of Science, EMBASE, and four Chinese databases (Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, and Chongqing VIP Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Database). The World Health Organization Clinical Trials Registry, Chinese Clinical Registry, and ClinicalTrials.gov will be searched to identify other related studies. A manual search will be performed to identify missing eligible studies based on the reference list of selected articles. The search will focus on studies published in Chinese or English. To assess the risk of bias in the selected articles, Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale (NOS) will be used for the cohort study. Funnel plots and Egger's test will be used to assess whether publication bias exists. Moreover, the Grading of Recommendations Assessment Development and Evaluation (GRADE) will be utilized to analyze the credibility of the results from selected articles. Two independent evaluators will implement the study selection and data extraction, as well as evaluate the risk of bias and evidence quality. Data will be analyzed using Stata 16.0. Trial registration: PROSPERO registration number is CRD42022366232.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to systematically review and meta-analyze the clinical efficacy of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) in patients with cancer and psychological distress. Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from seven English electronic databases were systematically investigated from inception to 3 October 2023. A total of 16 RCTs from 6 countries with 711 participants were included in this study. Estimated pooled effect sizes (ESs) were calculated via inverse-variance random-effects or fixed-effects (I2 ≤ 50%) model and presented by standardized mean difference (SMD). Subgroup analyses were performed to reduce confounding factors and heterogeneity, and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) system was used to evaluate the quality of the pooled ESs. Results The pooled ESs revealed that statistically significant improvements in anxiety [postintervention SMD = -0.41 (95% confidence interval (CI), -0.71, -0.11); p = 0.008; I2 = 65%; follow-up SMD = -0.37 (95% CI, -0.66, -0.08); p = 0.01; I2 = 29%], depression [postintervention SMD = -0.45 (95% CI, -0.63, -0.27); p < 0.001; I2 = 49%; follow-up SMD = -0.52 (95% CI, -0.77, -0.28); p < 0.001; I2 = 0%], and psychological flexibility [postintervention SMD = -0.81 (95% CI, -1.50, -0.11); p = 0.02; I2 = 84%; follow-up SMD = -0.71 (95% CI, -1.12, -0.31); p = 0.0006; I2 = 38%] in ACT-treated participants were observed compared to patients treated with control conditions. However, other outcomes, such as physical symptom alleviation, were not significantly associated. Conclusion The findings of this systematic review and meta-analysis suggest that ACT is associated with improvements in anxiety, depression, and psychological flexibility in patients with cancer.

Abstract
Background Management of depression in the oncology population includes supportive psychotherapeutic interventions with or without psychotropic medication, which take time to demonstrate effectiveness. Fast-acting interventions, like ketamine, can provide a rapid antidepressant effect; however, there has been limited research on effects of ketamine among cancer patients. The objective of this review is to provide an overview of research on the efficacy and safety of ketamine on depression in patients with cancer. Methods We reviewed the published literature in MEDLINE® (via PubMed®), EMBASE, and Scopus from 1 January 1982 to 20 October 2022. We screened the retrieved abstracts against inclusion criteria and conducted a full-text review of eligible studies. Following extraction of data from included studies, we used a framework analysis approach to summarize the evidence on using ketamine in patients with cancer. Results All 5 included studies were randomized clinical trials conducted in inpatient settings in China. In all included studies ketamine was administered intravenously. Three studies used only racemic ketamine, and two studies used both S-ketamine and racemic ketamine. All included studies reported ketamine a tolerable and effective drug to control depression symptoms. Conclusion Included studies showed administration of sub-anesthesia ketamine significantly improves postoperative depression among patients with cancer.

Mindfulness-Based Group Medical Visits: Strategies to Improve Equitable Access and Inclusion for Diverse Patients in Cancer Treatment. GLOBAL ADVANCES IN INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE AND HEALTH 2024; 13:27536130241263486. [PMID: 38895040 PMCID: PMC11185011 DOI: 10.1177/27536130241263486] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2024] [Revised: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 06/02/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
Background Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) are supported by clinical practice guidelines as effective non-pharmacologic interventions for common symptoms experienced by cancer patients, including anxiety, depression, and fatigue. However, the evidence predominately derives from White breast cancer survivors. Racial and ethnic minority patients have less access to integrative oncology care and worse cancer outcomes. To address these gaps, we designed and piloted a series of mindfulness-based group medical visits (MB-GMVs), embedded into comprehensive cancer care, for racially and ethnically diverse patients in cancer treatment. Methods As a quality improvement project, we launched a telehealth MB-GMV series for patients undergoing cancer treatment, delivered as four weekly 2-hour visits billable to insurance. Content was concordant with evidence-based guidelines and established MBIs and adapted to improve cultural relevance and fit (eg, access-centered, trauma-informed, with inclusive communication practices). Program structure was adapted to address barriers to participation, with ≥50% slots per series reserved for racial and ethnic minority patients. Intake surveys incorporated a demographic questionnaire and symptom assessments. Evaluations were sent following the visits. Results In our first ten cohorts (n = 78), 80% of referred patients enrolled. Participants were: 22% Asian, 14% Black, 17% Latino, 45% non-Latino White; 65% female; with a median age of 54 years (range 27-79); and 80% had metastatic cancer. Common baseline symptoms included lack of energy, difficulty sleeping, and worrying. Most patients (90%) attended ≥3 visits. On final evaluations, 87% patients rated the series as "excellent"; 81% "strongly agreed" that they liked the GMV format; and 92% would "definitely" recommend the series to others. Qualitative themes included empowerment and connectedness. Conclusion Telehealth GMVs are a feasible, acceptable, and financially sustainable model for increasing access to MBIs. Diverse patients in active cancer treatment were able to participate and reported high levels of satisfaction with this series that was tailored to center health equity and inclusion.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to analyze the effect of Smart Cancer Care program on the quality of life and ease of chemotherapy continuation in cancer patients and the effect of additional tele-management on frequency of use and satisfaction with the Smart Cancer Care program. Methods 'Smart Cancer Care' is a mobile program that allows cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy to report symptoms of adverse events and receive remote management. In this study, patients were randomly assigned to three groups: Group A, who received only classical face-to-face management; Group B, who used the Smart Cancer Care program as addition; and Group C, who used the Smart Cancer Care program and received telephone management. After 12 weeks of follow-up, the effectiveness of using the Smart Cancer Care program was analyzed by examining the quality of life, ease of maintaining chemotherapy, and unplanned hospital visits in each group. The frequency of use and satisfaction with the Smart Cancer Care program were also analyzed. Results Cancer patients who used the Smart Cancer Care program had 1.93-fold (1.15-3.25) higher overall quality of life than those who did not. This became 2.33-fold (1.34-4.04) higher when phone care was added. Patients with tele-management were significantly more likely to use the Smart Cancer Care program (odds ratio (OR) = 25.80; 95% confidence interval (CI), 11.28-58.97). Conclusions A mobile self-reported management program has a positive effect on the quality of life of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Tele-management is conducive to active and effective use of this program.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammation and nutrition and depression are interrelated, and both are related to changes in mortality rates. We investigated the association of nutritional and inflammation index or depressive symptoms with the risk of all-cause mortality or cause-specific mortality among cancer survivors. METHODS A prospective cohort of a nationally representative sample of cancer survivors, aged 40 years or older (n = 2331; weighted population, 15 248 255; 67.6 ± 11.0 years; 50.6 % males), were recruited from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2005 to 2018. Advanced lung cancer inflammation index (ALI) reflected inflammation and nutritional status and Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9) demonstrated depressive symptoms. The independent and joint associations of ALI and PHQ-9 score with mortality outcomes were examined among cancer survivors and Cox regression analysis based on weights was used to calculate the relative risk. RESULTS We identified 605 all-cause deaths (cancer, 204; non-cancer, 401) over a median of 6.2 years of follow-up (15,385 person-years; interquartile range, 3.3-9.8 years). High ALI was observed to be consistently associated with lower risks of all-cause (hazard ratio [HR], 0.516; 95 % CI, 0.400-0.667) and non-cancer (HR, 0.414; 95 % CI, 0.291-0.588) mortality compared with low ALI in a series of adjusted models. Meanwhile, lower PHQ-9 score (0-4) was associated with lower risks of all-cause (HR, 0.686; 95 % CI, 0.521-0.903) and non-cancer (HR, 0.686; 95 % CI, 0.474-0.992) mortality compared with higher PHQ-9 score (≥10). Furthermore, joint analyses showed that high ALI was associated with a decreased risk of death among cancer survivors who were not depressive. Specifically, survivors with high ALI but not depressive symptoms had the lowest overall (HR, 0.404; 95 % CI, 0.228-0.715) risks. CONCLUSION In this cohort study, we observed impact of nutritional and inflammatory status and depressive symptoms on mortality among cancer survivors, with the lowest risks of death from both all causes and non-cancer being noted among the combination of high level ALI with no depression.

López-Cuadrado T, Ortiz C, Ayuso-Álvarez A, Galán I. Impact of psychological distress on mortality in Spain. The importance of early detection and treatment of mental disorders. J Psychiatr Res 2024; 169:292-297. [PMID: 38065054 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpsychires.2023.11.045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2022] [Revised: 11/16/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/15/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mental health problems account for 14% of mortality worldwide. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between psychological distress and mortality in the Spanish adult population. METHODS Data came from a longitudinal study in population ≥15 years of age (n=21,005) who participated in the 2011-12 Spanish National Health Survey, which was linked to mortality records as of December 2020. Mental health was assessed with the GHQ-12, defining psychological distress as a dichotomous variable using a GHQ-12 score ≥3 as the cutoff point. Using Poisson regression, standardized mortality rate ratios (SRR) were estimated for all-cause, cardiovascular disease, and tumor-related mortality, adjusting for sociodemographic variables, lifestyles, and comorbidities. RESULTS The standardized overall mortality rate in individuals with and without psychological distress was 14.58 and 10.90 per 1000 person-years, respectively, estimating an SRR of 1.34 (95%CI: 1.19-1.50). The SRR for tumor-related mortality was 1.17 (95%CI: 0.90-1.53), and cardiovascular-related mortality was related to higher distress (GHQ-12 ≥ 4): SRR of 1.22 (95%CI: 0.98-1.51). Among psychological distressed individuals, the overall mortality SRR for those with a previous mental disorder diagnosis was 1.18 (95%CI: 0.91-1.53) versus 1.34 (95%CI: 1.18-1.54) for those without such diagnosis (p for interaction=0.067). Similarly, distressed participants taking prescription drugs for mental disorders had a lower mortality risk than those not taking them (p for interaction=0.016). CONCLUSIONS Individuals with psychological distress had a higher risk of overall-, cardiovascular disease- and tumor-related mortality. This association was higher among participants not previously diagnosed with a mental disorder and those not taking medication for mental issues.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite their documented efficacy, substantial proportions of patients discontinue antidepressant medication (ADM) without a doctor's recommendation. The current report integrates data on patient-reported reasons into an investigation of patterns and predictors of ADM discontinuation. METHODS Face-to-face interviews with community samples from 13 countries (n = 30 697) in the World Mental Health (WMH) Surveys included n = 1890 respondents who used ADMs within the past 12 months. RESULTS 10.9% of 12-month ADM users reported discontinuation-based on recommendation of the prescriber while 15.7% discontinued in the absence of prescriber recommendation. The main patient-reported reason for discontinuation was feeling better (46.6%), which was reported by a higher proportion of patients who discontinued within the first 2 weeks of treatment than later. Perceived ineffectiveness (18.5%), predisposing factors (e.g. fear of dependence) (20.0%), and enabling factors (e.g. inability to afford treatment cost) (5.0%) were much less commonly reported reasons. Discontinuation in the absence of prescriber recommendation was associated with low country income level, being employed, and having above average personal income. Age, prior history of psychotropic medication use, and being prescribed treatment from a psychiatrist rather than from a general medical practitioner, in comparison, were associated with a lower probability of this type of discontinuation. However, these predictors varied substantially depending on patient-reported reasons for discontinuation. CONCLUSION Dropping out early is not necessarily negative with almost half of individuals noting they felt better. The study underscores the diverse reasons given for dropping out and the need to evaluate how and whether dropping out influences short- or long-term functioning.

Abstract
Background This study aims to (1) investigate the prevalence of anxiety, depression and severe fear of cancer recurrence or progression in gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) patients treated in a curative or palliative setting, (2) compare their prevalence with a norm population, (3) identify factors associated with anxiety, depression and severe fear, and (4) study the impact of these psychological symptoms on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Methods In a cross-sectional study, GIST patients completed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Cancer Worry Scale, and EORTC QLQ-C30. Results Of the 328 patients, 15% reported anxiety, 13% depression, and 43% had severe fear. Anxiety and depression levels were comparable between the norm population and patients in the curative setting, but significantly higher for patients in the palliative setting. Having other psychological symptoms was associated with anxiety, while current TKI treatment and anxiety were associated with depression. Severe fear was associated with age, female sex, palliative treatment setting, anxiety, and GIST-related concerns. Conclusion GIST patients treated in a palliative setting are more prone to experience psychological symptoms, which can significantly impair their HRQoL. These symptoms deserve more attention in clinical practice, in which regular screening can be helpful, and appropriate interventions should be offered.

Integr Cancer Ther 2024; 23:15347354241259180. [PMID: 38845365 PMCID: PMC11159551 DOI: 10.1177/15347354241259180] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2024] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/19/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Women with gynecological cancer often experience psychological distress, particularly in response to surgical procedures. The impact of mandala art therapy (MAT) during the perioperative period for gynecological cancer patients remains uncertain. We aimed to examine the effects of the MAT program in women with gynecological cancer. METHODS Employing a quasi-experimental design, we recruited 126 gynecological cancer patients from a university hospital through convenience sampling. Participants were assigned to either receive the MAT program or standard perioperative care. The interventions comprised a three-session MAT program guided by a team of trained mandala psychologists. Generalized estimating equations (GEE) were employed to analyze the effects of MAT over time. RESULTS A total of 126 patients were enrolled, and 118 completed the entire study. Over 90% of participants completed the perioperative MAT interventions, reporting relatively high satisfaction with the program (7.70 out of 10). Individuals in the MAT group exhibited improved therapeutic effects on STAI-S, VASS, and vital signs over time. Notably, significant group*time interaction effects were noted in STAI-S scores at both the first evaluation, T1 (β = -4.220, P < .005) and the third evaluation, T3 (β = -3.797, P < .05), and VASS scores at T1 (β = -11.186, P < .005), T2 (β = -9.915, P < .05) and T3 (β = -9.831, P < .05). Regarding vital signs, the multivariate GEE model revealed significant interaction effects in systolic blood pressure values at both T1 (β = -7.102, P < .05) and T3 (β = -10.051, P < .005), diastolic blood pressure values at T3 (β = -6.441, P < .005), and pulse values at T1 (β = -6.085, P < .005). No significant differences were observed between groups for pain, hope, or self-acceptance. CONCLUSION This study posited that MAT could serve as a valuable complementary approach in perioperative care for addressing the psychological needs of women with gynecological cancer. Subsequent research employing more robust methodologies and larger, more diverse participant samples will be necessary to validate these conclusions.

Abstract
Urological cancers represent a substantial global public health concern, exerting far-reaching effects on both individuals and their families. There is an urgent need to comprehensively understand the transformations in patients' lifestyles and behaviors, given their critical role in the treatment process and overall well-being. This study, involving 128 urological cancer patients, aims to investigate changes in physical activity levels, problematic drinking behaviors assessed through the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), and smoking habits assessed using the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND) over four distinct time intervals over the subsequent three years from the time of diagnosis and among individuals diagnosed more than three years ago. The results reveal a significant decrease in physical activity levels between study intervals (p < 0.0001), declining from 69% to 45% between the first and second post-diagnosis assessments. Furthermore, the highest levels of problematic substance use, indicated by mean scores, were noted in the first year following diagnosis (AUDIT: 4.20, p = 0.01; FTND: 4.83, p = 0.08). Given the significant impact of physical activity on the prospects of recovery, it is imperative to delve more deeply into the factors contributing to this decline and devise targeted interventions for its improvement. In the context of substance use, it is essential to ascertain whether the initially high levels are a result of coping with the cancer diagnosis or represent a turning point at which patients modify their behaviors and cease their addiction. A more thorough understanding of this phenomenon would enhance the effectiveness of precisely focused interventions.

Abstract
Background Hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCCA) is a common malignant tumor of the biliary system. Factors such as limited physical function, intractability, and high mortality caused by the tumor lead to negative emotions, such as anxiety and depression in patients. In this study, we investigated the risk factors for negative emotions in patients undergoing radical resection of HCCA during the perioperative period and its effect on prognosis to provide strategies for alleviating the negative emotional disorders of patients and improving prognosis. Methods From September 2016 to August 2021, we retrospectively examined 205 patients with HCCA who underwent radical resection in our hospital. The incidence of negative emotions and the clinical parameters of patients were compared using Chi-square tests and t-tests. The independent risk factors for unfavorable feelings in patients during the perioperative period were determined using binary logistic regression. The key variables influencing the postoperative survival status of HCCA patients were identified using the log-rank univariate analysis and Cox proportional risk regression analysis. Results The results of the binary logistic regression analysis showed that perioperative negative emotions were independently influenced by family monthly income (OR = 0.069), medical insurance (OR = 0.089), family care (OR = 0.013), sleep quality (OR = 0.071), TNF-α (OR = 5.851), and bile leakage (OR = 29.412) (P < 0.05). The age of the patient (OR = 2.003), preoperative CA19-9 (OR = 2.038), lymph node metastases (OR = 2.327), and negative mood (OR = 3.054) were independent risk variables that affected the survival status of patients, as determined by the results of Cox regression analysis (P < 0.05). Conclusion In this study, we found that anxiety and depression in patients undergoing radical operation of HCCA are related to family monthly income, medical insurance, sleep quality, family care, TNF-α, and bile leakage; also, negative emotions have adverse effects on prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nurse navigation can improve quality of cancer care and reduce racial disparities in care outcomes. Addressing persistent structurally-rooted disparities requires research on strategies that support patients by prompting structural changes to systems of care. We applied a novel conceptualization of social support to an analysis of racial equity-focused navigation and patient-reported outcomes. METHOD We applied an antiracism lens to create a theory-informed definition of system-facing social support: intervening in a care system on a patient's behalf. Participants were adults with early-stage breast or lung cancer, who racially identified as Black or White, and received specialized nurse navigation (n = 155). We coded navigators' clinical notes (n = 3,251) to identify instances of system-facing support. We then estimated models to examine system-facing support in relation to race, perceived racism in health care settings, and mental health. RESULTS Twelve percent of navigators' clinical notes documented system-facing support. Black participants received more system-facing support than White participants, on average (b = 0.78, 95% confidence interval [CI]: [0.25, 1.31]). The interaction of race*system-facing support was significant in a model predicting perceived racism in health care settings at the end of the study controlling for baseline scores (b = 0.05, 95% CI [0.01, 0.09]). Trends in simple slopes indicated that among Black participants, more system-facing support was associated with slightly more perceived racism; no association among White participants. DISCUSSION The term system-facing support highlights navigators' role in advocating for patients within the care system. More research is needed to validate the construct system-facing support and examine its utility in interventions to advance health care equity.

Abstract
The paucity of data regarding patients with Serious Mental Illness (SMI) and cancer is alarming given the fact that people with SMI, especially schizophrenia, bipolar disorders and severe depressive disorders, have in general poorer access to physical health care and higher morbidity and mortality because of physical illnesses. The aims of this review were to examine the current evidence from existing literature on the risk of developing cancer and its course among people with SMI. Equivocal results emerge regarding the risk of developing some kind of cancer among people with SMI, with contrasting data on a possible higher, similar or lower risk in comparison with the general population. In contrast, a series of studies have pointed out that patients with SMI who develop cancer are less likely to receive standard levels of cancer care, both in terms of screening, diagnosis and treatment. Also, the mortality for cancer has been confirmed to be higher than the general population. A global sensitization about these problems is mandatory in an era in which community psychiatry has been developed in all countries and that policies of prevention, treatment, follow up, and palliative care should regard all the segments of the population, including people with SMI, through an interdisciplinary approach.
