Abstract:
Objective This study aimed to investigate the impact of different modes of treatments on depression,anxiety and quality of life in colorectal cancer patients.Methods The sample was comprised of 1 1 4 oncology patients and 67 partners of the oncology patients.All patients were diagnosed with colon cancer or rectal cancer.All of them accepted one of the three modes of treatments:surgery,surgery plus chemotherapy or surgery followed by radiotherapy.According to the treatments,the patients and their partners were divided into three groups.Anxiety and depression levels of the patients were evaluated with HADS,QOL-CA2.The depression level of their partners was evaluated with BDI.The evaluation results of the three groups were statistically analyzed.Results Anxiety and depression levels of colorectal cancer patients accepting different treatments were significantly different (P <0.05).Compared to the patients accepting only surgery,anxiety and depression levels of the patients accepting surgery plus chemotherapy and the patients accepting surgery followed by radiotherapy were significantly higher (P <0.05).Significant difference of anxiety and depression levels was not found between the patients accepting surgery followed by radiotherapy and the patients accepting surgery plus chemotherapy (P >0.05 ).No significant difference of anxiety and depression levels was found among the partners of the patients accepting different treatments (P >0.05 ).The higher the depression level of the patients were,the higher the depression level of their partners were.Anxiety and depression were the main predictors of patient′s quality of life.Conclusions This study highlights the importance of providing psychological interventions for cancer patients and their partners.The patients,who accept chemotherapy or radiotherapy and are diagnosed with cancer more than 1 2 months,are at high risk of anxiety and depression. Psychological interventions should be emphasized in these patients.
