BACKGROUND:Makuza said that every year, 528 thousand new cases occur and approximately 266 thousand women die from cervical cancer. In cancer patients, the symptoms that are often experienced are a pain. The pain was found to be significantly associated with psychiatric disorders. The pain had a strong relationship with mood disorders in cancer patients.AIM:To determine the correlation between scores of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale-Depression (HADS-D) in patients with cervical cancer in Vina Cancer Center Hospital in MedanMETHODS:This study was an analytical study with a cross-sectional approach to determine the correlation between VAS and HADS-D score between 34 female patients in cervical cancer at Vina Cancer Center Hospital in Medan.RESULTS:VAS was found to be moderate positively significant with HADS-D (p < 0.001, r = 0.59) in patients with cervical cancer in the Hospital Vina Cancer Medan. The value and direction of the correlation (r) VAS and HADS-D score is 0.59. The conclusion drawn value was (p) < 0.001.CONCLUSION:There is a significant correlation between VAS score and HADS-D score in cervical cancer patients, which shows that the higher the VAS score resulted in higher HADS-D scores.

Background: Increased paternal age has been associated with an increased risk of spontaneous abortion, premature birth, infant mortality, congenital malformations, childhood cancer, epilepsy, autism, bipolar and schizophrenia in offspring. The biological mechanisms behind this relationship are not known but may be associated with de novo mutations and epigenetic changes in male cells with short and long term health consequences for their offspring. Males are responsible for most of the new mutations in the gene group, to the permanent distribution of reproductive cells and the number of mutations increases significantly with age. Objective: The aim of the study to determine the correlation between paternal age and onset of schizophrenia. Method: This study was correlation analysis with cross sectional approach with The subject is 92 schizophrenia patient. Analysis of the data  using statistical test that is chi-square. Result: the study findings showed there was significant correlation between paternal age with schizophrenic aged onset of 0.001 (p <0.05).
