Abstract
Patient education in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has become increasingly complex with the introduction of new treatments and chemotherapy regimens. Video education presents an opportunity to supplement traditional patient education and address some of the gaps associated with standard methods. This single-center study sought to assess the potential impact of supplemental video education on patients receiving induction chemotherapy for AML. Participants were consented to be randomized to receive their education with or without a supplemental video designed for their treatment regimen. We then provided a survey to each participant to assess knowledge retention, anxiety, and overall satisfaction with their care. Patients that received video education were found to have significantly improved knowledge retention compared to those that did not. There were no differences detected in anxiety or patient satisfaction. Video education appears to be an effective supplemental method for patient education in AML. Limitations include the single-center nature of the study at an urban academic medical center with a relatively well-educated, primarily Caucasian, younger population. Future research is warranted to assess the video in a diverse set of languages and to explore its broader benefits.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Emerging evidence supports that virtual reality (VR)-based meditation interventions may improve anxiety and depression among patients with cancer. However, empirical studies involving patients with acute leukemia during induction chemotherapy are limited. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to examine the effects of VR-based meditation intervention on alleviating anxiety and depression and improving the quality of life among patients with acute leukemia during induction chemotherapy. METHODS This randomized controlled trial recruited 63 patients newly diagnosed with acute leukemia. Participants were randomly assigned to an intervention group (received VR-based meditation for 20 min daily for 14 days) and a control group. Anxiety, depression, and quality of life were measured using the State Anxiety Inventory, the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, and the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Leukemia Questionnaire, respectively. All outcomes were measured at baseline and post-intervention. RESULTS Compared with patients in the control group, those in the intervention group demonstrated a significantly greater reduction in anxiety (P = .04) and improvement in quality of life (P = .04). However, no significant difference was noted in depression levels between groups (P = .09), although a decreasing trend was observed in the intervention group. CONCLUSION Virtual reality-based meditation intervention effectively alleviated anxiety and improved the quality of life among acute leukemia patients during induction chemotherapy. Future randomized controlled trials with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up periods are warranted. IMPLICATION FOR PRACTICE Virtual reality-based meditation can be applied in clinical practice virtually anytime and anywhere to provide a convenient intervention for anxiety reduction for acute leukemia patients during induction chemotherapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The present review aimed to establish prevalence rates of anxiety and depression in adults with haematology cancer, with a focus on the differences between patients under treatment and patients under watchful waiting. METHOD Five databases (Scopus, Medline, PsycINFO, EThOS, CINAHL) were searched throughout June 2021. Key search terms included haematology cancer, anxiety, depression, in treatment and watchful waiting. Study and sample characteristics, prevalence rates and mean self-reported scores of anxiety and depression data were extracted. RESULTS A total of 18 eligible papers were included in the review. Quality appraisal indicated papers were of adequate standard. Depression data from 2720 participants (14.5% under watchful waiting) and anxiety data from 2520 participants (15.9% under watchful waiting) were analysed through subgroup meta-analyses. The prevalence of anxiety was 34% amongst adults receiving treatment and 24.5% amongst those under watchful waiting. The prevalence of depression amongst adults receiving treatment was 31.3%, significantly higher than 16.1% of adults under watchful waiting. CONCLUSION Overall, adults with haematology cancer were at greater risk of experiencing anxiety and depression than the general population, with greatest risk in those under treatment. The findings indicate the need for future research to examine availability and effectiveness of targeted psychological interventions.

Abstract
This study aimed at investigating the longitudinal changes of poststroke anxiety/depression rates, and their potential risk factors in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients.A total of 250 first diagnosis of AIS patients were enrolled and followed for 36 months. Anxiety/depression of patients were assessed using hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) at month (M) 0 (M0) and then every 3 months till M36.During 36-month follow-up, both HADS-anxiety score (from 6.9 ± 3.1 at M0 to 8.0 ± 3.5 at M36) and anxiety rate (from 41.2% at M0 to 54.0% at M36) (both P < .01) were increased with time longitudinally. Meanwhile, HADS-depression score (from 6.2 ± 3.0 at M0 to 6.9 ± 3.1 at M36) and depression rate (from 32.4% at M0 to 40.4% at M36) (both P > .05) displayed an upward trend with time longitudinally but without statistical significance. By forward multivariate logistic regression analysis, female, diabetes and higher National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score independently predicted elevated anxiety risk at M0, M12, M24, and M36 (all P < .05); while longer education duration and hypertension independently predicted raised anxiety risk at M0 and M12 (all P < .05), respectively. Regarding depression, diabetes independently predicted increased depression risk at M0, M12, M24, and M36 (all P < .01); longer education duration independently predicted higher depression risk at M0 and M12 (both P < .05); female independently predicted increased depression risk at M24 and M36 (both P < .01); higher NIHSS score independently predicted raised depression risk at M24 and M36 (both P < .01).Poststroke anxiety and depression are frequent, which deteriorate with time; besides, female, diabetes, NIHSS score, hypertension and education duration independently predicted increased poststroke anxiety or depression risk in AIS patients.

Patient-reported outcomes in patients with hematological relapse or progressive disease: a longitudinal observational study. Health Qual Life Outcomes 2021; 19:251. [PMID: 34736479 PMCID: PMC8567661 DOI: 10.1186/s12955-021-01887-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2021] [Accepted: 10/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Patients with hematological cancer who experience relapse or progressive disease often face yet another line of treatment and continued mortality risk that could increase their physical and emotional trauma and worsen their health-related quality of life. Healthcare professionals who use patient-reported outcomes to identify who will have specific sensitivities in particular health-related quality of life domains may be able to individualize and target treatment and supportive care, both features of precision medicine. Here, in a cohort of patients with relapsed or progressive hematological cancer, we sought to identify health-related quality of life domains in which they experienced deterioration after relapse treatment and to investigate health-related quality of life patterns.
Method Patients were recruited in connection with a precision medicine study at the Department of Hematology, Aalborg University Hospital. They completed the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer questionnaire and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale at baseline and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after the relapse diagnosis or progressive cancer. Modes of completion were electronically or on paper. Clinically relevant changes from baseline to 12 months were interpreted according to Cocks’ guidelines. We quantified the number of patients with moderate or severe symptoms and functional problems and the number who experienced improvements or deterioration from baseline to 12 months. Results A total of 104 patients were included, of whom 90 (87%) completed baseline questionnaires and 50 (56%) completed the 12-month assessments. The three symptoms that patients most often reported as deteriorating were fatigue (18%), insomnia (18%), and diarrhea (18%). The three functions that patients most often reported as deteriorating were role (16%) and emotional (16%) and cognitive (16%) functioning. Conclusion In this study, patient-reported outcome data were useful for identifying negatively affected health-related quality of life domains in patients with relapsed or progressive hematological cancer. We identified patients experiencing deterioration in health-related quality of life during treatment and characterized a potential role for patient-reported outcomes in precision medicine to target treatment and supportive care in this patient group.

Abstract
Introduction Inflammatory cytokines are proposed as modulators for the pathogenesis of anxiety and depression (anxiety/depression), and anxiety/depression are frequently existed in non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) survivors. However, no published study has explored the association of inflammation cytokines with anxiety/depression in NSCLC survivors. Objectives We aimed to evaluate serum tumor necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α), interleukin‐1 beta (IL‐1β), interleukin‐6 (IL‐6), interleukin‐17 (IL‐17) levels, and their correlations with anxiety/depression in NSCLC survivors. Methods Totally, 217 NSCLC survivors and 200 controls were recruited. Then, inflammatory cytokines in serum samples were detected by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Besides, their anxiety/depression status was assessed by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Results HADS‐anxiety score, anxiety rate, anxiety severity, HADS‐depression score, depression rate, and depression severity were all increased in NSCLC survivors compared with controls (all P < 0.001). Regarding inflammatory cytokines, TNF‐α, IL‐1β, and IL‐17 levels were higher (all P < 0.01), while IL‐6 (P = 0.105) level was of no difference in NSCLC survivors compared with controls. Furthermore, TNF‐α, IL‐1β, IL‐6, and IL‐17 were all positively associated with HADS‐A score (all P < 0.05), anxiety occurrence (all P < 0.05), HADS‐D score (all P < 0.05), and depression occurrence (all P < 0.05) in NSCLC survivors, while the correlation‐coefficients were weak. Additionally, multivariate logistic regression analyses disclosed that TNF‐α (both P < 0.05) and IL‐1β (both P < 0.001) were independently correlated with increased anxiety and depression risks in NSCLC survivors. Conclusion Serum TNF‐α, IL‐1β, IL‐6, and IL‐17 are related to increased anxiety and depression risks to some extent in NSCLC survivors.

Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a rapidly progressive hematological malignancy that is difficult to cure. The prognosis is poor and treatment options are limited in case of relapse. A comprehensive assessment of current disease burden and the clinical efficacy of non-intensive therapies in this population are lacking. We conducted two systematic literature reviews (SLRs). The first SLR (disease burden) included observational studies reporting the incidence and economic and humanistic burden of relapsed/refractory (RR) AML. The second SLR (clinical efficacy) included clinical trials (phase II or later) reporting remission rates (complete remission [CR] or CR with incomplete hematologic recovery [CRi]) and median overall survival (mOS) in patients with RR AML or patients with de novo AML who are ineligible for intensive chemotherapy. For both SLRs, MEDLINE®/Embase® were searched from January 1, 2008 to January 31, 2020. Clinical trial registries were also searched for the clinical efficacy SLR. After screening, two independent reviewers determined the eligibility for inclusion in the SLRs based on full-text articles. The disease burden SLR identified 130 observational studies. The median cumulative incidence of relapse was 29.4% after stem cell transplant and 46.8% after induction chemotherapy. Total per-patient-per-month costs were $28,148-$29,322; costs and health care resource use were typically higher for RR versus non-RR patients. Patients with RR AML had worse health-related quality of life (HRQoL) scores than patients with de novo AML across multiple instruments, and lower health utility values versus other AML health states (i.e. newly diagnosed, remission, consolidation, and maintenance therapy). The clinical efficacy SLR identified 50 trials (66 total trial arms). CR/CRi rates and mOS have remained relatively stable and low over the last 2 decades. Across all arms, the median rate of CR/CRi was 18.3% and mOS was 6.2 months. In conclusion, a substantial proportion of patients with AML will develop RR AML, which is associated with significant humanistic and economic burden. Existing treatments offer limited efficacy, highlighting the need for more effective non-intensive treatment options.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was to investigate the longitudinal change of post-operative anxiety and depression, their related risk factors and prognostic value in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients after resection. METHODS Totally, 302 CRC patients who underwent resection were consecutively recruited. Their anxiety and depression were assessed by hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) at Month 0 (M0) and then every 3 months till Month 36 (M36). RESULTS Within 36-month follow-up period, HADS-A score (from 8.3 ± 3.3 at M0 to 8.8 ± 3.4 at M36, P = 0.179) exhibited an upward trend with time but without statistical significance; while anxiety rate (from 46.4% at M0 to 52.6% at M36, P = 0.019) was increased steadily with time longitudinally. Meanwhile, both HADS-D score (from 7.4±3.0 at M0 to 9.2±3.5 at M36, P < 0.001) and depression rate (from 33.8% at M0 to 57.9% at M36, P < 0.001) were elevated greatly with time longitudinally. Furthermore, multivariate logistic regression revealed that female and tumor size (≥5 cm) were common independent risk factors for baseline/1-year/2-year/3-year anxiety (all P < 0.05); meanwhile, female, marry status (single/divorced/widowed vs. married) and advanced TNM stage were common independent risk factors for baseline/1-year/2-year/3-year depression (all P < 0.05). As for new-onset anxiety and depression, no independent factor associated with new-onset anxiety was observed; meanwhile, female and TNM stage were independent risk factors for new-onset depression (both P < 0.05). Additionally, baseline/1-year anxiety and baseline/1-year/2-year/3-year depression were associated with lower accumulating OS (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Post-operative anxiety and depression are highly prevalent and continuously progress, which also correlate with worse survival prognosis in CRC patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE The family of leukemia patients, due to their caring role, often feels psychological distress. A practical need-based program carefully considers the set of requirements of nursing service recipients. This paper illustrates the efficacy of a designed family-need-based program on relieving stress, anxiety, and depression of family caregivers of leukemia patients. METHODS In this controlled trial, sixty-four family caregivers of leukemia patients referring to a medical center in Iran were recruited by convenience sampling and randomly divided into study and control groups. The study group attended a designed need-based program. The control group did not receive the intervention. Stress, anxiety, and depression of both groups were simultaneously measured and compared in three time-points using the scale of stress, anxiety, and depression (DASS-42). Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. RESULTS Before the program, the average scores of stress, anxiety, and depression were 31.16 ± 4.14, 21.37 ± 6.31, and 27.56 ± 4.24 for the study group and 31.09 ± 4.48, 20.34 ± 6.56, and 28.78 ± 4.72 for the control group. After the program, the average scores of stress, anxiety, and depression were 10.56 ± 3.37, 6.75 ± 2.99, and 7.37 ± 2.76 for the study group and 34.87 ± 2.51, 23.65 ± 4.96, and 32.56 ± 3.49 for the control group, respectively. Results of the independent t test indicated no considerable difference before the program (P > 0.05) and a significant difference after the program (P < 0.001) between the two groups. CONCLUSION This family-need-based program can decrease the level of stress, anxiety, and depression of the family caregivers of leukemia patients and may potentially alleviate the psychological distress of family caregivers over their caring role.

[PMID: 33409553 DOI: 10.1007/s00109-020-02011-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2020] [Revised: 11/08/2020] [Accepted: 11/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive hematologic malignancy with poor prognosis and overall survival. Clinical investigations show that chronic stress is commonly present in the course of AML and associated with adverse outcome. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are elusive. In the present study, a chronic restraint stress mouse model was established to evaluate the effect of stress on AML. We found that mice under chronic stress exhibited significantly increased liver and spleen infiltration of leukemic cells and poorer overall survival. This was accompanied by elevated cellular NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in the liver or bone marrow, and secreted IL-1β in the plasma, indicating the activation of inflammasomes under chronic restraint stress. High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) expression was markedly increased in newly diagnosed AML patients, but reduced in complete remission AML patients. The expression level of HMGB1 was positively correlated with NLRP3 mRNA in AML patients. Knockdown of HMGB1 significantly decreased NLRP3 and IL-1β expression in AML cell lines, and secreted IL-1β in supernatant of AML cell culture, while HMGB1 stimulation caused contrary effects. These results implied that HMGB1 could be involved in the regulation of inflammasome activation in AML development. Mice model showed that chronic restraint stress-facilitated proliferation and infiltration of AML cells were largely abrogated by knocking down HMGB1. Knockdown of HMGB1 also ameliorated overall survival and remarkably neutralized NLRP3 and IL-1β expression under chronic restraint stress. These findings provide evidences that chronic stress promotes AML progression via HMGB1/NLRP3/IL-1β dependent mechanism, suggesting that HMGB1 is a potential therapeutic target for AML. KEY MESSAGES: • Chronic restraint stress promoted acute myeloid leukemia (AML) progression and mediated NLRP3 inflammasome activation in xenograft mice. • HMGB1 mediated NLRP3 inflammasome activation in AML cells. • Knockdown of HMGB1 inhibited AML progression under chronic stress in vivo.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the anxiety, depression and explore their relationship to quality of life (QoL) among adult acute leukemia (AL) patients and family caregivers (FCs) in China. METHODS A multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted from April 2017 to January 2018. The sample comprised 207 dyads of adult AL patients and FCs. The participants were required to complete socio-demographic information and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Leukemia (FACT-Leu, only for patients) and MOS 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36, only for FCs) were used to measure QoL. RESULTS The mean scores of anxiety and depression for AL patients were 7.89 ± 3.85 and 7.18 ± 4.23, respectively. For FCs, the mean scores of anxiety and depression were 9.96 ± 3.73 and 8.64 ± 3.74. In this study, adult AL Patients' sex, patients' depression score, whether patients achieving a CR or not, education, FCs' depression score, patients' social/family well-being and emotional well-being were significantly associated with patients' anxiety or depression (p < 0.05). For FCs, depression was significantly related to the physical component summary (β = 0.127, p = 0.008). There were significant differences in anxiety (t = - 5.92, p < 0.001) and depression (t = - 4.19, p < 0.001) between patients and FCs. CONCLUSIONS AL patients' FCs showed higher score of anxiety and depression than that of patients. The psychological health may have a potential relationship between AL patients and their FCs. Healthcare professionals can conduct family-center interventions to improve mental health and QoL of AL patients and FCs.

Abstract
Variables associated with self-reported anxiety and depression symptoms were explored in 1169 adults with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) receiving tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-therapy. The Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and Self-Rating Depression Scale questionnaires were used to measure anxiety and depression symptoms. Two hundred and fifty-one (22.4%) and 415 (37.1%) respondents reported anxiety and depression, respectively. In multivariate analyses, female sex, lower education level, comorbidities, advanced-line TKI-therapy, and longer TKI-therapy duration were significantly associated with more severe anxiety and/or depression. It is concluded that socio-demographics, comorbidities, advanced-line TKI-therapy, and longer TKI-therapy duration were significantly associated with anxiety and/or depression symptoms in CML patients receiving TKI-therapy.
