“…Depression was most frequently associated with fatigue (Bower et al, 2000;Den Oudsten et al, 2009;Vahdaninia et al, 2010) followed by lower income/poor financial status (Eversley et al, 2005;Morrill et al, 2008;Chen et al, 2009), low education (Mehnert and Koch, 2008;Morrill et al, 2008;Alcalar et al, 2012) and younger age (Broeckel et al, 2000;Mehnert and Koch, 2008). Regarding marital status, being unmarried (Broeckel et al, 2000;Morrill et al, 2008), widowed or divorced (Chen et al, 2009) were significantly associated with depression although in contrast with one study which found being married (Pumo et al, 2012) was associated with depression. Deshields et al (2006) found having more number of children at home were associated with depression.…”

“…Factors related to treatment of breast cancer reported to be significantly associated with depression included more time elapsed since the end of chemotherapy (Broeckel et al, 2000), receiving chemotherapy (Eversley et al, 2005;Morrill et al, 2008), had mastectomy (Eversley et al, 2005), had breast conserving type of surgery (Den Oudsten et al, 2009) and using an alternative treatment (Karakoyun-Celik et al, 2010).…”

Background: Depression is common in breast cancer patients. The aim of this paper was to make a systematic review of its prevalence and associated factors oin breast cancer survivors. Materials and Methods: An extensive systematic electronic review (PUBMED, CINAHL, PsyINFO and Ovid) and handsearch were carried out to retrieve published articles up to November 2012, using Depression OR Dysthymia AND (Cancer OR Tumor OR Neoplasms as the keywords. Information about the design of the studies, measuring scale, characteristics of the participants, prevalence of depression and its associated factors from the included studies were extracted and summarized. Results: We identified 32 eligible studies that recruited 10,826 breast cancer survivors. Most were cross-sectional or prospective designed. The most frequent instrument used to screen depression was the Center for Epidemiological Studies for Depression (CES-D, n=11 studies) followed by the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI, n=6 studies) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS, n=6 studies). CES-D returned about similar prevalence of depression (median=22%, range=13-56%) with BDI (median=22%, range=17-48%) but higher than HADS (median=10%, range=1-22%). Depression was associated with several socio-demographic variables, cancer-related factors, treatment-related factors, subject psychological factors, lifestyle factors, social support and quality of life. Conclusions: Breast cancer survivors are at risk for depression so that detection of associated factors is important in clinical practice.

Distressing events can lead to negative outcomes, such as post-traumatic stress symptoms; however, they can also lead to positive outcomes, being an experience of post-traumatic growth or benefit finding. In the context of cancer, the positive thinking may impact on important psychological outcomes, including depression, anxiety, positive well-being and health behaviors. There are few longitudinal studies in this area. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the psychosocial clinical pathway of Portuguese women with breast cancer (time 1 "diagnosis", time 2 "surgery" and time 3 "treatments"). A total of 30 women diagnosed with breast cancer were evaluated, on 3 separate occasions, in relation to: distress, emotional control, neuroticism, social support, body image perception, coping and quality of life (QoL). The non-parametric Friedman test was used to compare the variables on each occasion. The changes' analysis of the psychosocial pathway of breast cancer, illustrated the slight impact of breast cancer as a negative life event. These results show a good adjustment at all levels (emotional, social and physically). The levels of neuroticism and body image perception indicated significant changes throughout time. The results indicate that finding positive meaning in response to a distressing event, such as breast cancer, is psychologically protective and, thus, may indirectly influence the long-term occurrence of depressive symptoms and impaired QoL. Considering the rapidly growing population of Portuguese breast cancer survivors, it is important to better understand their treatment and survival experiences in further studies.
