“…Further studies are necessary to evaluate the reliability and validity of the BACE‐3 scale in Vietnam using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Although the application of the HADS questionnaire 33–36 and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) 14,37 were validated to screen psychological disorders in hospitals, our study used the PHQ‐9 to evaluate depression and anxiety symptomatology which has been widely used in Vietnamese cancer patients with high internal consistency 15,22,38 . It is critical to compare the prevalence of depression using HADS and PHQ‐9 in these Vietnamese clinical populations in order to establish which instrument best captures depression symptomatology.…”

Objective: This study evaluated the prevalence and severity of depression and anxiety symptomatology, barriers to mental health access, and correlates of functional impairment among cancer inpatients. Methods:This cross-sectional study recruited adult cancer patients (N = 300) in June and July 2022 at the largest oncological hospital in Vietnam. Multivariable linear regression analyses examined the association between demographics, clinical characteristics, and patients' functional impairment.Results: Approximately 46.3% and 27.0% showed some depression and anxiety symptomatology, while 8.0% and 3.0% experienced major depressive and anxiety symptoms, respectively. Patients reported the most impairment in mobility and capacity for life activities. More functional impairment was identified in patients with gastrointestinal cancers, those receiving radiation therapy alone, and those scoring higher on depression and anxiety than in those with cancers originating in the head, neck, or lung or those receiving chemotherapy alone. Reports of better overall health status were negatively associated with functional impairment. Patients reported extensive perceived barriers to seeking psychiatric care, including not knowing where to get mental health support (86.7%), wanting to manage mental health independently (73.7%), and thinking mental health will resolve on its own (73.7%), and denying mental health concerns (61.0%). Conclusion:High frequency and severity of depression and anxiety symptomatology underscore the importance of integrating mental health services into existing oncological treatment protocols. Increasing mental health literacy and provision of psychoeducation is critical to addressing barriers to mental health service access.Integration of functional impairment evaluations into hospital admission and discharge planning is also needed.

“…In Vietnam, the study on the rate of depression in inpatient cancer patients at Vietnam National Cancer Hospital (VNCH) recorded 66.7% of cancer patients with depression, especially 17.8% of patients with moderate to severe depression [12]. The literacy emphasized that mental health care for cancer patients includes pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, and social support, of which psychosocial support is integral at all levels [4], [13].…”

Aim: The prevalence of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is high, with an increasing global disease burden. This is the first study to evaluate the effectiveness of group-based psychotherapy in patients with NSCLC and depression in Vietnam during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A non-randomized controlled intervention study was conducted on 40 depressed adult patients with NSCLC at the Vietnam National Cancer Hospital (VNCH) from August 2021 to August 2022. Depression was screened for and followed up using the Patient Health Questionnaire, nine items (PHQ-9) with a cutoff 8. The virtual group intervention consisted of eight weekly sessions with the facilitation of two trained non-specialists under the supervision of a specialist. Quantitative data from 16 participants in each arm were analyzed using proper statistics, with a statistical significance 0.05. Results: Depression remission was observed in both groups. The decrease in the median PHQ-9 score of the intervention group (from 10.5 to 7) was higher than that of the control group (from 10.5 to 9 score). However, this difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05). The intervention reduced the risk of depression by 29% compared with the control group (RR=0.71, p<0.05). In the intervention group, five subjects who remained depressed participated in fewer sessions than the control group’s figure (1.4 vs 5.1 average) with p < 0.05. Conclusion: The group psychological intervention led by non-specialists is a promising approach to managing mental health problems in cancer patients, especially in online formats with low cost to adapt to limited-resource contexts.
