“…To investigate mood states, participants also completed the Profile of Mood States (POMS) [4], a self-rated scale measuring six mood states (tension-anxiety, depression-dejection, anger-hostility, vigor, fatigue, and confusion) and total mood disturbance, which is a summary score for the emotional state subscales. The POMS is a widely used, reliable measure of emotional distress [5] [6]. Research shows that the POMS is reliable for Japanese participants [7] [8]; therefore, in this study, we used the Japanese version of the POMS [9].…”

In this study, we investigated six types of mood state (tension-anxiety, depression-dejection, anger-hostility, vigor, fatigue, and confusion) using the Profile of Mood States (POMS) with 40 Japanese university students. We examined five main quality of life (QOL) domains (physical health, psychological health, social relationships, and environmental health) using the World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale (WHOQOL-26). We also examined the total scale score. We examined Spearman's rank correlations between POMS mood state and QOL scores and compared male and female students' scores. The results indicated statistically significant correlations between all six mood states and three broad WHOQOL-26 domains (physical health, psychological health, and social relationships). Moreover, the relationship between mood state and QOL showed a gender difference. There were correlations between mood states and the QOL domains of social relationships and environmental health for males. In contrast, mood state correlated with the QOL domains of physical health and psychological health in females. The findings suggest that genderspecific health provision is needed to care for young university students in Japan. However, our study has several limitations; therefore, larger-scale studies with older subjects are needed in the future.

This study examined the association between two primary covariates, extent of disease (ED) and performance status rating (PSR), and the outcome of psychological distress in patients with small cell carcinoma of the lung. Patients were studied at the time of entry onto one of three Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) protocols: 7781 (N = 165) and 8083 (N = 139) for limited disease; and 7782 (N = 151) for extensive disease. Besides ED (limited versus extensive), a four-point rating of PSR was obtained. Psychological distress was measured by the standardized Profile of Mood States (POMS). Gender, age, marital status, education, PSR, ED and two relevant interaction terms (PSR X ED; gender X ED) were analyzed using multiple linear and hierarchical regressions. Of the six main variables, gender and PSR had significant association with POMS total mood disturbance, a summary score for POMS emotional subscales, and most of the individual subscales. The PSR X ED interaction provided a rationale for testing a new regression model in which PSR and ED were combined into a single index of impairment. The final index resulted in five levels of physical impairment which bear an approximately linear relationship to increasing levels of distress (Overall regression, P less than 0.001). These data suggest that PSR is an important factor in modelling POMS distress at both levels of ED, and that ED becomes an important factor with poorer performance status only.

A diagnosis of cancer places considerable stress on patients and requires them to make major adjustments in many areas of their lives. As a consequence, considerable demands are placed on health care providers to satisfy the complex care needs of cancer patients. Currently, there is little available information to indicate the extent to which cancer patients are satisfied with the quality of care they receive. The present study assessed the perceptions of 232 ambulatory cancer patients about the importance of and satisfaction with the following aspects of care: doctors technical competence and interpersonal and communication skills, accessibility and continuity of care, hospital and clinic care, nonmedical care, family care, and finances. The results indicate that all 60 questionnaire items used were considered to reflect important aspects of care, but that greater importance was given to the technical quality of medical care, the interpersonal and communication skills of doctors, and the accessibility of care. Most patients were satisfied with the opportunities provided to discuss their needs with doctors, the interpersonal support of doctors, and the technical competence of doctors. However, few patients were satisfied with the provision of information concerning their disease, treatment, and symptom control and the provision of care in the home and to family and friends.

Psychological response of patients receiving two drug regimens for lung carcinoma

Abstract: Seventy-seven patients with small cell lung carcinoma were assigned randomly to two chemotherapy regimens to assess their psychological response to each regimen. One produced less depression and fatigue than the other, despite the absence of differences in tumor response.
