Anxiety, a condition which is commonly found in patients with cancer, has negative impacts on their quality of life and treatment outcome. This study aimed to determine the level of anxiety in patients with cancer and explore sociodemographic, disease-related, and hospital-related factors associated with anxiety in those patients. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 510 inpatients with cancer at Thanh Hoa Oncology Hospital, Vietnam. Data were collected from self-administered questionnaire forms on hospital depression anxiety-A, interviews with patients, and patient medical records. The univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were performed using STATA ver. 14.0. Our finding that the patients’ mean anxiety score (standard deviation) was 7.22 (3.8); 27.6% of the patients had an anxiety score between 8 and 10 points, and 15.5% had an anxiety score of ≥11 points. In the multivariate model, in more advanced stages of cancer, and patients with metastasis were more likely to have higher levels of anxiety than those who presented no sign of metastasis. The longer the patients had cancer, the less anxious they became. Lower levels of anxiety were observed in patients who stated that hospital facilities were adequate or had trust in health workers. Patients with cancer need to be provided with psychological support in the early stage of cancer detection and when metastases form. A strong patient–health-care provider relationship after diagnosis may help reduce distress among patients with cancer with higher levels of medical mistrust.

“…For the PAS-7, preoperative anxiety was defined as mental and somatic anxiety among adult patients who underwent elective operation under general anesthesia. The original items of the PAS-7 were from three sources: (1) relevant references of the existing preoperative anxiety scales, such as the APAIS, GAD-7, STAI, SAS, and HAMA; (2) items from an open questionnaire survey, combined with investigation and interviews to collect the information; and (3) new items from theory structures. In the process of developing the PAS-7, a team of psychiatrists, anesthesiologists, surgeons, and other related clinical experts conducted analyses and evaluations of the structure of the scale to identify inappropriate or duplicate items and to improve the scale.…”

“…Preoperative anxiety is a common psychological reaction among perioperative patients [1]; the incidence of this reaction is high both domestically, at approximately 50% [2,3], and abroad, at 40%~80% [4,5]. Individual trait anxiety, understanding of operation-related information, and other factors affect patients' level of preoperative anxiety [6].…”

Background Preoperative anxiety is a common psychological reaction in perioperative patients. The absence of a valid measurement tool hinders the evaluation of interventions to treat preoperative anxiety in China. This study aims to develop the Perioperative Anxiety Scale-7 (PAS-7) and test its reliability, validity, and cut-off value. Methods A total of 280 patients over 16 years old (M = 55.1, SD = 14.3) who were undergoing elective surgery were recruited to complete the PAS-7 and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 scale (GAD-7) one day before surgery. Results The PAS-7 included seven items divided into two dimensions: mental anxiety and somatic anxiety. These two dimensions could explain 74.294% of the population variance. The internal consistency of each dimension ranged from 0.761–0.933. The confirmatory factor analysis showed that the model fit of the scale was good (χ2= 34.798, df = 13, χ2/df = 2.677, CFI = 0.949, TLI = 0.918, SRMR = 0.057, RMSEA = 0.115). The correlations between the GAD-7 and each dimension and the scale’s total score were significant (0.711–0.789). A cut-off score of 8, maximizing the Youden Index, yielded a sensitivity of 75% and a specificity of 84.6% (95% CI: 0.88 ~ 0.97). Conclusions The PAS-7 had good reliability and validity and could be used as an effective tool to evaluate preoperative anxiety.

RESUMO Objetivo Correlacionar a qualidade de vida em voz e sintomas de ansiedade e depressão pré e pós-tireoidectomia. Método Estudo observacional, longitudinal, prospectivo e quantitativo. Participaram 20 pacientes, com média de idade de 54 anos, submetidos à tireoidectomia, ao exame visual laríngeo e aos questionários Qualidade de Vida em Voz e Escala Hospitalar de Ansiedade e Depressão nos momentos: pré-operatório, 1 semana e 3 meses pós-tireoidectomia, com maior prevalência do sexo feminino (85%; n=17) e de tireoidectomia parcial (70%; n=14). Resultados Não houve diferença estatística quanto à qualidade de vida em voz entre os momentos, porém observaram-se menores escores no pré-operatório, com destaque para o domínio físico. Houve traço leve de ansiedade no pré-operatório com redução após 1 semana e aumento pós três meses. Houve correlação negativa moderada entre o domínio físico do QVV e a subescala de ansiedade e o escore total da HADS pós 1 semana e entre o domínio total do QVV com o escore total da HADS pós 1 semana, correlação negativa fraca entre o domínio total do QVV e a subescala de ansiedade da HADS pós 1 semana e o escore total da HADS pós 3 meses. Conclusão Os pacientes avaliados neste estudo autopercebem sua qualidade de vida relacionada à voz como positiva. Traços leves de ansiedade foram identificados, com redução no pós-operatório uma semana e aumento pós três meses. A autopercepção de melhor qualidade de vida em voz no pós-operatório relaciona-se, de forma fraca, com a redução dos níveis de ansiedade.
